The final of the World Ball Championship was suspended by four members of Works Taldea on the fronton Labrit of Pamplona

22
years ago

31 August 2002,

The final of the World Ball Championship was suspended by four members of the Team Works on the Labrit fronton in Pamplona. The idea was that two of them, dressed in pelotaris, played three. However, to step on the court, it was intercepted by the police, and the other two members released the bags of paint that had attached to the body and dirty the pediment. The aim of the action was to reclaim the place of the Basque selection.
