The Real Madrid Foundation and Rey Juan Carlos University renew their collaboration agreement
The cooperation enables the development of a social sports school and an adapted football school in Fuenlabrada (Madrid).
The Real Madrid Foundation and Rey Juan Carlos University (URJC) held an institutional event to renew their collaboration agreement, in place since 2004. Roberto Carlos, ambassador of the Real Madrid Foundation, and Julio González Ronco, managing director of the Real Madrid Foundation, welcomed Abraham Duarte Muñoz, rector of Rey Juan Carlos University, at Ciudad Real Madrid.
Football to promote values
Thanks to this agreement, Rey Juan Carlos University provides its sports facilities, enabling the development of two Real Madrid Foundation projects in the Madrid municipality of Fuenlabrada. On one hand, a social sports school serves over a hundred students, who train twice a week. Through this school, the Foundation applies its educational program For a Real Education: Values and Sport, using football to promote values.
On the other hand, the same space hosts an adapted school aimed at people with disabilities. The school has around ten students, allowing for close monitoring focused on improving their quality of life, autonomy, and independence. Additionally, some of these students participate in LaLiga Genuine, representing the values of Real Madrid in a competition that gains greater visibility and following each season.
Duarte Muñoz: “This project reaffirms our commitment to people in vulnerable situations”
During the event, the rector of Rey Juan Carlos University, Abraham Duarte Muñoz, highlighted the continuity of a project “that reaffirms our commitment as a university to all people who may find themselves in any vulnerable situation.” For his part, Roberto Carlos emphasized the human value of the agreement: “We will continue working together, convinced that sport shapes individuals and opens future opportunities.”
With this renewal, the Real Madrid Foundation and Rey Juan Carlos University reaffirmed their commitment to a social sports model that establishes Fuenlabrada as a benchmark in applying sport as an educational and social tool.
