Emprendeporte improves the well-being and self-esteem of unemployed and retired individuals through sports

The Real Madrid Foundation continued promoting the Emprendeporte program during the 2025/26 season, an initiative that uses physical activity as a tool to enhance the physical, emotional, and social well-being of unemployed individuals. Through regular sessions and workshops on sports psychology and coaching, participants work on aspects such as self-esteem, motivation, resilience, personal initiative, perseverance, and teamwork, with the goal of applying the lessons learned in sports to everyday life and job search processes.

Emprendeporte Plus
The Foundation also continued the Emprendeporte Plus initiative, aimed at retired individuals, which promotes active and healthy aging through exercise, helping to prevent sedentary lifestyles and maintain overall well-being.

The program is carried out at the municipal sports centers of Pradillo and Félix Rubio, in collaboration with the Madrid City Council, and is complemented by educational activities, nature outings, excursions, and sporting events that strengthen camaraderie and the sense of belonging among participants.

Season Activities
Among the season's highlights, the beneficiaries participated in a social sports activity on the clay court installed at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for the Mutua Madrid Open. Additionally, once again, they took part in the Solidarity Race of the Real Madrid Foundation, which brought together sports, camaraderie, and personal achievement.

Thanks to the support of Unicaja, the Real Madrid Foundation continues to strengthen a program that combines physical activity, education in values, and personal support to create opportunities for well-being, inclusion, and development for unemployed and retired individuals.
