Fundación Mapfre visits the social sports school of the Real Madrid Foundation alongside Panama's First Lady
This is an initiative that promotes education, values, and the holistic development of children and young people.
A delegation from Fundación Mapfre visited the Real Madrid Foundation social sports school in Panama, where both organizations were able to learn firsthand about the program's development and its impact on the community. The event featured the participation of Maricel Cohen de Mulino, First Lady of the Republic of Panama and President of the Friends of Real Madrid Foundation in Panama; Infanta Doña Elena, Director of Projects at Fundación Mapfre; Elvira Vega, General Director of Fundación Mapfre; Óscar Ortega, CEO of Mapfre Panama and Central America; Guzmán Palacios, Ambassador of Spain in Panama; and Mateo Figueroa Tobón, Head of the Americas at the Foundation.
More than 200 beneficiaries
The Real Madrid Foundation social sports school in Panama, promoted together with the Friends of Real Madrid Foundation in Panama and supported by Fundación Mapfre since 2010, currently benefits over 200 children at risk and in vulnerable situations, providing them with a safe environment for learning, inclusion, and personal development. The program combines football practice with the educational methodology based on values of the Real Madrid Foundation, promoting aspects such as respect, teamwork, discipline, autonomy, and personal growth among participants. Through weekly sessions, students develop sports skills and strengthen key competencies for their daily lives.
During the visit, the delegation spent time with the students and was able to observe the program's operations, noting the positive impact of an initiative that blends sports, education, and social support. The collaboration with Fundación Mapfre is crucial in ensuring the continuity and strengthening of this intervention model.
The relationship between both organizations, initiated in 2010, is a consolidated international alliance that extends to projects in Brazil, the United States, El Salvador, Paraguay, Panama, Peru, and the Dominican Republic, reinforcing their shared commitment to children and youth through sports and education in values.
