Blanca “double-excited” after year out with Campo

After a year on the sidelines, Blanca Pérez says she is “double excited” to return to European hockey as Real Club de Campo prepare for yet another tilt at the EHL Women’s competition at Den Bosch next week.

The Madrid club remain the only ever‑present side since the tournament’s introduction, and for Pérez – who first played in the EHL as a teenager – the chance to step back onto the continent’s biggest stage carries extra significance.

“After being one year out, I come back with a lot of motivation,” she says.
