Peñafiel will insist on the need for "the City Council to make itself available to the basketball club so that it does not happen like last year and from the first moment the initiative of the UCAM Murcia is supported to host this sporting event".

"We must not forget that if finally Murcia becomes headquarters, that weekend our city would become the cultural and sports capital of Spain, hosting the WARM UP festival and the Final Four," he said.

In this sense, the 'orange' mayor has made reference to the direct economic impact of this final for the municipality of Murcia estimated at 1.3 million euros in a single weekend, together with an advertising return of around 3, € 5 million, in addition to the indirect repercussion that the name of Murcia would bring to all corners of Spain and the rest of Europe.
