A Considerable Economic and Occupational Impact
The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Trofeu Conde de Godó, which starts this Saturday, promises not only excitement on the court, but also a significant economic and occupational impact for the city.
According to estimates, the tournament is expected to generate an economic impact ranging between 55 and 60 million euros, in addition to contributing to more than 600 direct and indirect jobs.
The organizers have reported that the tournament expects to increase its income by 7% compared to the previous year, reaching more than 14 million euros.
This revenue comes from a variety of sources, notably sponsor support and hospitality, ticket sales, media and other concepts such as food and beverage.
Innovation and Commitment to the Community
Inclusion in the Track
The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Conde de Godó Trophy stands out this year for its pioneering work in two important areas.
First of all, it is the first tennis tournament in the world to have an inclusive ‘ballkids’ team, by virtue of an agreement between the Barcelona Tennis Foundation and Aura Fundació. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for young people with intellectual disabilities, who will be responsible for the umbrella of the players during breaks.
Environmental Sustainability
On the other hand, the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Trofeu Conde de Godó is also leading the way towards environmental sustainability in the world of sport.
It is the first sporting event in Spain to implement a water reuse system, inaugurated by the Real Club de Tennis Barcelona-1899. This innovative system recovers gray water from showers and rainwater for use in the irrigation of the club’s fields and gardens.
Using advanced filtration technologies and storage tanks, all water used in the dressing rooms is put to good use, creating a more sustainable environment and reducing the event’s water footprint.
Thus, the Real Club de Tennis Barcelona-1899 and the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Trofeu Conde de Godó demonstrate their commitment to the preservation of the environment while offering a sporting spectacle of excellence.
Sports Expectations
During the 9 days of the tournament, more than 100,000 fans have the opportunity to witness the exciting matches involving prominent tennis players such as Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Andréi Rublev, Casper Ruud and Stéfanos Tsitsipás.
The Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell – Trofeu Conde de Godó has always attracted the best talents in world tennis, guaranteeing a first-class sporting spectacle for tennis lovers in Barcelona.
