The Real Madrid Foundation visits the Mazarrón school alongside the Ecopilas Foundation

The social sports school that the Real Madrid Foundation operates in Mazarrón, in collaboration with Ecopilas, located in the sports complex of the Murcian municipality, received a visit from the City Council's Councillor for Sports, María Isabel Carrillo; the Real Madrid Foundation ambassador and former club player Ricardo Gallego; and the Marketing and Events Director of the Ecopilas Foundation, Julio Lema. During the visit, a meeting was held with the students participating in the school.

The attendees were able to observe the work carried out weekly in the social sports sessions. Additionally, mini-recyclers and merchandising materials were distributed, reinforcing the educational component of the project focused on recycling. This school is one of the programs through which the Real Madrid Foundation and Ecopilas raise awareness among young people about the importance of healthy living, teamwork, and respect for the environment.

Commitment and Values
Since 2010, Ecopilas has maintained its commitment to the socio-educational work of the Real Madrid Foundation, contributing to the sustainability of the social sports schools in Seville, Segovia, and Mazarrón. Last season, the Mazarrón school served 75 participants, a social project where over 70% of students receive full scholarships. Over the years, both entities have placed special emphasis on promoting environmental values through awareness activities that encourage respect for the environment and responsible use of resources.

During the event, Councillor María Isabel Carrillo expressed gratitude for the presence of the representatives and emphasized the importance of this project for the municipality. She highlighted the trajectory of the social sports school in Mazarrón, recalling that it has been operational for years and its growth has been progressive thanks to the commitment of collaborating entities and the constant support of local families.

For his part, Ecopilas representative Julio Lema remarked: “It is an honor for Ecopilas to collaborate with the Real Madrid Foundation on a project with such a positive impact. Its ability to convey values through sports and the reach of its brand make it a benchmark, to which we contribute by incorporating environmental education.” Finally, Ricardo Gallego highlighted the project's impact: “These kinds of initiatives demonstrate that sports are an extraordinary educational tool and a means to build a more responsible society.”
