Levante UD and Grupo Nealis strengthen their alliance to professionalize the nutrition of the youth academy.

The Granota entity and Casa Intur (belonging to the Nealis Group) formalize a season sponsorship agreement through which the company assumes the comprehensive management of catering at the Buñol Residence, raising the standards of quality and sports performance, and also offers catering to the first teams.

Levante UD has officially announced the incorporation of Casa Intur into its Business Club in an event held at the Ciutat de València Stadium. The event was attended by Iker Llano González, CEO of Nealis Hospitality; María Pascual Marmaneu, director of Casa Intur; and Rubén Meseguer Bellés, commercial director of Casa Intur, who sealed this sponsorship agreement with the club for the current season.

This partnership goes far beyond a commercial collaboration.

The alliance focuses on the comprehensive management of the catering service at the Buñol Residence, covering everything from breakfasts and meals for the first team to the complete food service for the youth academy residents. The strategic objective is to professionalize this area to align it with the high demands of an elite club, turning nutrition into a key tool of "invisible training."

Elite nutrition and training for young talents

The arrival of Intur brings direct benefits in the optimization of sports performance. The menus have been specifically designed for the different phases of training and recovery, ensuring the exact fuel that players need. Additionally, at the residence, Intur's work includes an educational aspect so that young players adopt healthy habits from the start.

To achieve these standards, a comprehensive renovation of the facilities at the Sports City has been carried out. This intervention has included state-of-the-art industrial kitchen equipment, high-efficiency appliances, and an update of the furniture, optimizing operational capacity and the comfort of the players.

A strategic partner with a vision for the future

Iker Llano, CEO of Nealis Hospitality, highlighted the desire to consolidate a long-term alliance: "Our goal is to position the Nealis Group as a comprehensive strategic partner for the entity. We are not an external supplier, but an ally that seeks to grow with Levante UD by bringing innovation, sustainability, and quality to every dish."

For his part, the president of Levante UD, Pablo Sánchez, thanked Casa Intur “for their willingness to collaborate in everything related to the residence of the Buñol Sports City, where the talent of young Levante UD footballers is developed with nutrition as one of the main pillars.”

With this agreement, Levante UD delegates the kitchen operations and logistics to a specialized group, ensuring efficient management and an immediate response capacity to specific dietary needs or schedule changes. This collaboration reinforces the club's commitment to excellence in the care of its athletes, relying on a company that shares values of proximity, sustainability, and a service-oriented approach.
