A commendable cultural initiative

Driven by Alfonso Noain and shaped by the former professional basketball player Pablo Martinez Arroyo, Sports Museum presents objects from sports legends such as Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Rafa Nadal, Fernando Alonso, Maradona, Usain Bolt… and therefore now Sebastian Nerone.

“We want a dedicated space that can allow us to show these jewels of Spanish and world sport.”

“We are very happy to inaugurate this section dedicated to padel professional and the WPT. We couldn't dream of a more charismatic ambassador than Seba ”, confided the organizers of the museum.

The collection “Legends”Is available at Madrid (Calle General Perón 40) until the end of February.
