Good news at Valencia Basket. Cristina Ouviña is already training with the first team after a period of three months of individual adjustment after becoming a mother in June. The Aragonese base already works under the orders of Rubén Burgos along with her teammates, an important reinforcement for the squad. At the moment there is no date for his return to games but as the club assures it is “one less day to see you play on the parquet of the Roig Arena“
In September 2024, Ouviña announced the cessation of her sporting activity after becoming pregnant and in June 2025 the 'taronja' team player became a mother. Last September, the player resumed activity but did with a special personal tune-up plan that lasted about three months and after which he has already joined the collective work of the team led by Rubén Burgos. One more step in their return to 'normality' and a great reinforcement for the taronja team this season.
Mom last June
Last June, the Aragonese base gave birth to its first child, Julen. Just two months later, the Tatonja player is ready to return to the courts. The taronja base pointed out that in this return to the dynamics of professional basketball “It's all new, it's adapting to your new lifestyle. But with the same hopes, with the same desire. Little by little adapting to my new body, my new life, and little by little trying to be helping the team as soon as possible”.
Ouviña emphasized in his day that “For me it is like returning when nothing is the same, but I understand that the desire and enthusiasm is always the same” and emphasized having “an extra motivation, which is looking at the stands and seeing my son there. So that is what also motivates me right now. Returning to the highest category, at the highest level, with the aspiration of trying to win the titles again, and that, with two new eyes in which to look at myself”.
One more year of contract
The club announced on May 20 that it was extending the player's contract until June 2026 after the exit clause that existed in the contract had not been exercised, in a show of confidence in the player ahead of a season in which they aspire to fight for all the titles: Endesa Women's League, Euroleague, Queen's Cup and Super Cup. The Aragonese will share responsibility in directing the game with Leticia Romero and with the Montenegrin international Marija Lekovic.
