Quico Tur, professional tennis player in awheelchair
Fundación Occident's support for sport and integration can be seen in partnerships like the ones we have with elite sportspeople such as Quico Tur, who is considered the best Spanish Paralympic tennis player of all time.
A member of the Spanish wheelchair tennis team since 2002, with which he has taken part in more than 18 World Cups. His efforts are reflected in his many achievements: World Championship runner-up in 2021, 2022 and 2024. He has taken part in five Paralympic Games (Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020) and has won twenty-seven international titles. He has been ranked number 1 in Spain for nine years (he is currently 3rd) and is 35th in the world ranking (he was once 19th).
The Fundación Occident's collaboration with Quico Tur goes back to 2006 and involves direct support for sport for people with a disability (SPD) through one of its most iconic representatives.
