Asia-Pacific consolidates a comprehensive model reaching over 3,200 beneficiaries
The Real Madrid Foundation developed 38 social sports projects across seven countries in the region, strengthening education, health, child protection, and equal opportunities.
During the 2025-26 season, the Real Madrid Foundation implemented a total of 38 social sports projects in Australia, Bhutan, Cambodia, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of China, benefiting 3,204 children and young people. The training of coaches, child protection, and the creation of safe environments remained strategic priorities in a season marked by the strengthening of local partnerships and the continuous improvement of project quality.
Among the season's most notable milestones was the consolidation of innovative projects in countries like Cambodia, where the wheelchair basketball school was enhanced with new training initiatives, and the Philippines, where the Foundation launched a new social sports school in Batangas with the NGO Share, focusing on child protection and the healthy use of free time. The projects in India and Indonesia also continued to grow, incorporating initiatives related to nutrition, educational support, mental health, and female empowerment.
Laying the groundwork for future initiatives
The season also allowed for laying the groundwork for future initiatives in new contexts of particular vulnerability. These include identifying a new social sports school for children with disabilities in Vietnam and designing projects in Thailand aimed at children exposed to risk situations, thus expanding the regional reach of the Foundation.
In addition to sports activities, the Foundation promoted initiatives related to nutrition, health, emotional well-being, family engagement, and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits, thanks to joint efforts with local organizations, educational institutions, and companies committed to social development. Furthermore, with the support of entities such as Abbott, HP, ROADIS, and Corpay, the projects incorporated new actions aimed at improving participants' health, reducing the digital and gender divide, and expanding educational opportunities for children and adolescents, among others.
