The CE Manresa football club celebrated its 120th anniversary this Saturday with a massive event at the Nou Estadi del Congost, attended by over 2,100 people.

The celebration coincided with a 1-0 victory for the first team against UE Tona in the Tercera Federación league. Local authorities, including the Mayor of Manresa, Marc Aloy, and club president Lluís Basiana, joined the festivities alongside representatives from the Catalan Football Federation.
The event featured the official inauguration of the stadium's new lighting system. This upgrade is part of a broader municipal project aimed at improving the facility's access points, stands, and locker rooms to enhance the experience for players and fans alike.

"We have a very important past, present, and future."
