Basque, Catalan and Galician Governments signed on Saturday the "San Mamés statement", an official manifesto that seeks to promote "sport systems, sport practice, , autochthonous sports and national teams" in the three regions.
The Culture councilors of the Basque and Galician governments, Miren Azkarate and Anxela Bugallo, respectively, and the vice president of the Catalan government, Josep-Lluís Carod-Rovira, signed the agreement on Bilbao's San Mamés field, which hosts Saturday evening the friendly soccer match between the Basque and Catalan national teams.
"We are not here against anybody. We are here in favor of sport, in favor of our countries as sport countries", the Catalan vice president remarked.
The statement, read in Basque, Catalan, Galician and Spanish languages, establishes some basic points within the framework of cooperation dealing with "the promotion of sport exchanges" and the "establishment of open competitive frameworks for the national teams and sport federations" of the signatories of the manifesto.
