Rafelbunyol is preparing to host the grand final of the Copa Caixa Popular Pro 1 women's raspall handball, scheduled for Saturday, November 8th, at 6:30 PM at the Illa del Raspall trinquet.

This weekend, the municipality will also host the matches leading up to the semifinals of the competition, setting the stage for the main event.
