The Foundation's schools in the Dominican Republic welcomed legends of the club
Additionally, a group of beneficiaries had the opportunity to attend a match between the legends of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The beneficiaries of the social sports schools of the Real Madrid Foundation in Santo Domingo experienced an emotional encounter with some legends of the club, who visited the country for a match against FC Barcelona. They had the opportunity to converse with them and share what they learn daily in the schools: respect, teamwork, commitment, and personal growth.
The veterans listened attentively to the youth and spoke to them about the importance of effort, discipline, and perseverance, encouraging them to stay motivated. The stories they shared about their professional careers, filled with sacrifice and determination, left a deep impression on everyone. To complete the experience, a group of beneficiaries had the chance to attend the match between the legends of Real Madrid and Barcelona, which ended in a 2‑2 draw. Watching their idols in action was a very special moment for the young attendees, who will always cherish the memory of this encounter.
Support for over 380 children in vulnerable situations
The social sports schools that the Real Madrid Foundation runs in the Dominican Republic, in collaboration with Misiones Salesianas, the Fundación Salesiana Don Bosco, and Fundación MAPFRE, currently support over 380 children in vulnerable situations, offering football and basketball as educational and protective tools. In addition to sports practice, beneficiaries receive academic reinforcement, psychological support, medical evaluations, and family monitoring, as well as access to vocational training starting at age 16.
An initiative that strengthens the Foundation's commitment
The participants in this encounter come from the Plaza Educativa Don Bosco in Santo Domingo Este and the Hogar Escuela Santo Domingo Savio in the southern part of the city, two spaces that provide development opportunities for at-risk children. Together with the Real Madrid Foundation, they promote initiatives that transform realities. This initiative reinforces our Foundation's commitment to the comprehensive development of children and youth in the Dominican Republic, bringing positive role models that inspire and motivate these children in building a better future.
