The Ministry of Sport Hands Over the Active Centre No. 2 to FUDELA

“Stepping foot on this pitch and being in this space designed by FUDELA allows me to understand that lives can be transformed through sport. The Ministry of Sport of Ecuador is proud of what you have created, and without doubt you have traced the route of sport by teaching values and principles”, said Sebastian Palacios, Minister of Sport. 

On a special day full of happiness, sport, reflection, and gratitude, the symbolic handover of the Active Centre No. 2, located in Iñaquito, was made to FUDELA as a concession for the next 13 years.
