Aimed at Chinese fans, this video can be seen both on Fuenlabrada’s social networks and on the ACB channel of the Bilibili online video platform, a place from which Chinese fans can follow all the acb competitions thanks to the agreement in which Kalea Sport & Entertainment participated.
Through this platform, the club from Fuenlabrada also congratulated its fans from the Asian country on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival last September.

La importancia de China para Fuenlabrada
The reason why Urbas Fuenlabrada feels linked to Chinese culture is that Fuenlabrada is the city with the largest Chinese business network in Spain. “We all know the link between the Chinese community and this town, so these actions by Urbas Fuenlabrada are excellent messages with a view to strengthening ties with the country”, said Fran González.
Most Chinese companies are located in the Cobo Calleja Industrial Park, the largest industrial park in Europe due to the number of companies it houses. In total there are around 1,500, of which 45% are run by Chinese businessmen. It has more than 7,500 workers and almost 100% occupancy. In it, you can find all kinds of Chinese import products: jewelry stores, shoemakers, electronics, clothing.
