Other distinctions included Maria Ubiergo and Frank Porté as best promising athletes, the Travessa del Pas de la Casa as the season’s standout event for sporting merit, and Jordi Jou, who received the award for the “Encamp spirit.” Around a dozen clubs and individuals were recognised across the various categories.

Joan Plaza, head coach of MoraBanc Andorra, acted as guest of honour and addressed attendees on the values of sport. Laura Mas, the cònsol major, said the gala seeks to acknowledge the effort and commitment that form part of the parish’s sporting life.
