The social sports academy established by the Realmadrid Foundation, the Mapre Foundation and the Salesian Mission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil opened its doors to Spain's Princess Elena on 9 May.
The academy named Cidadania pelo Esporte celebrates its one year anniversary in July, but it has already produced a drastic improvement in the performance of its students at school as well as in the active participation of parents in the rearing of their children.
After visiing several of the academy's workshops, Princess Elena was treated to a typical Brazilian folklore show put on by the children.
