Barcelona KIA´08
Barcelona is to once again play host to Spain’s most important woman’s tennis tournament, Barcelona KIA 2008. Directed by José Luis Rivera, and with Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario as Director of Sport, Barcelona KIA continues on its path to consolidation. The tournament has recently received a considerable boost with the rise of the elite WTA circuit, which has been a major stepping stone, combined with the tournament’s move to the new venue at the David Lloyd Club Turó.
The new venue, fitting to the prestige and sporting level of the tournament, will see players competing for the the sixth annual Barcelona KIA, this year held between the 7th and 15th of June. Club members will be admitted to the tournament free of charge and information is available from the official website www.bcnwta.com. The competition began in 2003 with the naming of the ITFCiutat of Barcelona and since then has grown in all areas, always with the fundamental objective of promoting women’s Spanish and international tennis.
