The Real Madrid Foundation visits its football social sports school in Jerez

The Real Madrid Foundation carried out an institutional visit to the football social sports school in Jerez de la Frontera, which is supported by the ”La Caixa” Foundation and is located at the municipal Picadueñas field, provided by the City Council. The event was attended by Mirian Mateos, delegate of the “la Caixa” Foundation in Andalusia and Ceuta, and Ricardo Gallego, ambassador of the Real Madrid Foundation. Both were welcomed by Yessika Quintero, councilor for Social Inclusion, Dependency, Seniors and Family, and Human Resources.

During the visit, the institutional representatives attended a training session and spent time with the students and their families. The day concluded with a family photo and the distribution of gifts, in an atmosphere that strengthened the bond between the participants and the collaborating entities. The school has become a reference point in the city, where football serves as a tool for social inclusion and fosters personal development, as well as the transmission of values such as respect, camaraderie, and equality.

The school currently serves around fifty students, all of whom are 100% scholarship recipients and come from various associations in the area, ensuring access to sports for children in vulnerable situations. Throughout the week, participants attend two training sessions, working under the methodology of the Real Madrid Foundation For a REAL Education: Values and Sport, focused on holistic education through sports practice. The initiative is supported by the ”la Caixa” Foundation, an entity that has been collaborating with the Foundation's social sports schools for over 18 years, contributing to their sustainability and expanding their impact in various regions.
