The Real Madrid Foundation and Globalcaja Foundation visit the 'La Cañada' detention center

The Real Madrid Foundation and Globalcaja Foundation conducted an institutional visit to the youth educational center La Cañada, located in Fernán Caballero (Ciudad Real), where the football social sports program for minors in detention is being carried out. Attending the event were Mariano León, president of the Globalcaja Foundation; Mayte Carmona Roldán, director of the Globalcaja Foundation; and Ricardo Gallego, ambassador of the Real Madrid Foundation.

The visit marks the first year of collaboration between both entities, an alliance that strengthens their joint commitment to supporting a particularly vulnerable group. During the visit, the representatives were able to see firsthand the development of the program and the positive impact it has on the daily lives of the youth. The Globalcaja Foundation highlighted how this initiative helps minors develop healthy habits through sports and instills values such as effort, respect, and teamwork.

Through the football program in youth centers, the Real Madrid Foundation supports the young participants during their stay at the center, using sports as an educational tool. Training sessions are held weekly in small groups, allowing for personalized attention and the creation of a safe space where participants can improve their technical-tactical skills and develop social and emotional competencies. This approach fosters coexistence, emotional self-control, and peaceful conflict resolution, aiding their eventual reintegration into society.

During the season, around fifty minors participated in these activities, confirming the program's positive impact. The collaboration with the Globalcaja Foundation helps consolidate this work and ensures the continuity of an initiative that uses sports to enhance the quality of life for young people.
