Sport and culture make better people and better people build better societies. This is the motto that identifies the Sport Cultura Barcelona association, whose mission is to foster dialogue and understanding between institutions, citizens and social agents and to highlight the artistic and sporting talent of the country.
The jury of the Sport Cultura awards decided a year ago to grant the award for Best Career 2019 to rally driver Carlos Sainz "for being a legend in his specialty" and for all the victories achieved. The outbreak of the pandemic prevented the annual awards ceremony from being held and it was not until this week that Sainz was able to receive the award from the president of Sport Cultura, Albert Agustí.
In the XV edition of the Sport Cultura Barcelona Awards, in the Sports category, the winner was soccer player Leo Messi, and in the Culture category, the Soho Theater of Malaga, promoted by actor Antonio Banderas. In addition, a Special Mention was awarded to Josep Lluís Vilaseca, who was a member of the Board of the Spanish Olympic Committee, a member of the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee and Secretary General of Sport of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
