The Beti Alai fronton in Ordizia will host the fourth round of the Euskal Herritik Mundura championship this Saturday at 6:00 PM, organized by the Basque Pelota Federation.

This tournament features a new format aimed at evaluating players to form the Euskal Pilota Selekzioa. The competition, which includes disciplines such as cesta punta, short pala, leather paleta, and hand-pelota, rotates pairs in each round to allow selectors to assess individual performance.
The sports festival in Ordizia will feature two matches. The event will open with a leather paleta game, followed by a short pala match, as players compete to earn a spot in the national team.
The championship began on May 8 in Sopela, and the group stage will continue throughout the month. In addition to Ordizia, the tournament will visit Barakaldo, Olaberria, Gatika, and Beasain, with the final scheduled for June 6 in Sopela.
