Latin star is new BSN franchise owner
The Baloncesto Nacional Superior de Puerto Rico (Basketball National Superior – BSN) has announced the approval of the multi-award winning Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Ozuna as new franchise owner in the league after the sale of the team Los Brujos de Guayama. The Governing Board also approved the request to transfer the franchise to the municipality of Manatí, which will be renamed Los Osos de Manatí (Manatí Bears).
“Owning a Puerto Rico National Superior Basketball franchise has been one of my greatest dreams, for which we have been working for some time,” Ozuna shares. “I feel a lot of passion for this sport and being able to be part of this family fills me with great pride. Thanks to the BSN for opening the doors for me and to everyone who has made this possible. See you next season at the new house of Los Osos in Manatí.”
“It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome Ozuna to the BSN family,” adds BSN president Ricardo Balmau. “The commitment shown throughout this entire process gives us confidence in what his management will be in charge of the new Osos de Manatí. I take this opportunity to thank Rafael Rodríguez for his commitment to the league and the Brujos de Guayama franchise, which he led for the last 10 years.”
Los Osos de Manatí will present the action of the BSN in the next 2023 season, in said municipality for the first time since 2017, and will play at home at the Juan Aubín Cruz Coliseum.
