Butragueño visits the first Real Madrid Foundation clinic in Algeria
More than 100 children participated in this initiative developed alongside Mena Elite Sports.
The Real Madrid Foundation successfully held its first clinic in Algeria, thanks to collaboration with Mena Elite Sports, the Foundation's partner in the country. The director of Institutional Relations of Real Madrid, Emilio Butragueño, visited the participants to close an activity that, over two weeks, brought sports and the Foundation's values to more than 100 children aged between 6 and 16 years.
The clinic allowed participants to learn and enjoy football through the educational methodology of the Real Madrid Foundation. Throughout the sessions, the students not only worked on technical aspects of the game but also fundamental values such as respect, teamwork, effort, solidarity, and collaboration.
Butragueño: “These values will stay with you for life”
During the closing event, Emilio Butragueño congratulated the participants for their involvement: “The Real Madrid Foundation clinics have come to Algeria for the first time, and you have been the protagonists of this adventure. I hope that over these days, you have not only learned to play football better but also to respect your teammates, help one another, and always give your best. These are the values that will stay with you for life.”
A long-term project
This first clinic represents the starting point of a collaboration between the Real Madrid Foundation and Mena Elite Sports to promote the educational and sports development of children and youth in Algeria. The next step will be the launch of the Educational Football Program, scheduled to begin in September 2026. This new program will provide ongoing activities throughout the season and expand the number of beneficiaries, solidifying the presence of the Real Madrid Foundation in the country.
