Idaira Sánchez from Lanzarote has become the world kickboxing champion. An athlete who will also have the honor of making the initial kick-off in the run-up to the match between Unión Sur Yaiza and UD Las Palmas Atlético. This act, which will take place at the Campo Municipal de Yaiza, will serve to recognize the sporting talent of an outstanding athlete from the municipality.
Football and martial arts will merge in a symbolic gesture of unity and recognition. The outstanding southern fighter, Idaira Sánchez, who represents the Pretorianos de Playa Blanca club, recently participated in the IAKSA World Championship held in San Marino where she demonstrated her skill on the tatami. Now, her success is celebrated at home, as she prepares to make the honorary kick-off in the return leg of the first round of the playoff for promotion to the Second RFEF.
At the Iaksa World Championship, Idaira Sánchez faced the best competitors from around the world. Her skill led her to obtain the World Championship, but she was not the only outstanding athlete in the southern team. Laila Kerkich also shone in the K1 and Kick Light disciplines, while Edely Rodríguez stood out in K1 and Kick Boxing. However, the young promise Aria Morales took the glory by proclaiming herself triple champion in K1 Junior and runner-up in Kick Junior.
Unión Sur Yaiza, aware of the importance of celebrating local sporting achievements, has invited Idaira Sánchez to participate in the honorary kick-off before the match against UD Las Palmas Atlético. The fighter will receive a well-deserved souvenir from the football club of her municipality, a gesture that highlights the collaboration between different sports disciplines and the promotion of the name of Yaiza as a benchmark in sports quality.
The president of the entity, Bernardo Povedano, expressed his enthusiasm for this event: "We are a sports club and, as such, we have to celebrate all the sporting successes that are achieved in the municipality, whatever the sport, because we all have to help each other to promote the name of Yaiza and the sporting quality that we treasure; These words reflect the vision of a club committed to its community and to the recognition of individual and collective achievements.
The presence of Idaira Sánchez at the Campo Municipal de Yaiza not only honors her career as a world champion, but also highlights the importance of collaboration between different sports disciplines. The honorary kick-off will be an emotional and meaningful moment for all those present, and Unión Sur Yaiza hopes that this gesture will inspire future generations of local athletes.
