The Sanitas Foundation and the Real Madrid Foundation promote inclusive sports for more than 700 children
Together they organize the 17th Inclusive Basketball Campus and the football and basketball schools.
The Sanitas Foundation and the Real Madrid Foundation have renewed their collaboration to continue promoting initiatives where sports act as a driver of inclusion, learning, and personal development. Through this agreement, both entities will continue projects that encourage shared sports participation among children and young people with and without disabilities, fostering coexistence from an early age.
The collaboration includes, on one hand, the organization of the 17th Inclusive Basketball Campus by the Real Madrid Foundation, which will take place in July 2026 in its walking and wheelchair modalities. On the other hand, it will allow the continuation of inclusive football and basketball schools, which are held during the school year and promote sustained participation.
Model based on equal opportunities and the value of diversity
For years, both entities have been working together on a sports model based on equal opportunities, participation, and the value of diversity. These activities turn sports practice into a shared experience that helps reinforce values such as effort, personal autonomy, respect, teamwork, and solidarity.
Yolanda Erburu, Vice President of the Sanitas Foundation: “Sport is a tool to promote inclusion”
“At the Sanitas Foundation, we understand sport as a valuable tool to promote inclusion from an early age. This collaboration with the Real Madrid Foundation allows us to continue creating spaces where children and young people coexist, learn, and grow together through sports.”
Butragueño: “Together we are proving that inclusion is not just an idea”
“I thank the Sanitas Foundation for their commitment, their trust, and for continuing to believe in this project alongside the Real Madrid Foundation. Together we are proving that inclusion is not just an idea: it is a reality built every day, in every training session, every campus, and every team.”
More than 150 participants benefit each season
The alliance between the Sanitas Foundation and the Real Madrid Foundation, initiated in 2009, has involved more than 700 children and young people in the initiatives developed together. Additionally, more than 150 participants benefit from this collaboration each season.
