Together, we will come through this 💚⚽ Desde Fútbol Más España, estamos profundamente agradecidos de ser parte de la comunidad Common Goal y sumar esfuerzos para apoyar a quienes más lo necesitan en Valencia tras esta tragedia. El fútbol no solo nos une en los momentos de alegría, sino que también nos da fuerza para reconstruir, sanar y crear espacios seguros para nuestra infancia, donde puedan jugar, aprender y soñar, incluso en medio de los desafíos más difíciles. Seguimos comprometidos con trabajar juntos por la recuperación y resiliencia de las comunidades afectadas, demostrando que el fútbol es una herramienta poderosa para transformar vidas y enfrentar las realidades del cambio climático. Gracias, Common Goal, por movilizar al fútbol global para generar impacto local. ¡Juntos somos más fuertes! 💪🌍
Football at its most raw. 49,000 people came together at Valencia’s Mestalla stadium last Saturday ahead of a game against Real Betis to remember the lives lost during the recent floods. This was the strength of a community united by football on full display. For 90 minutes that community was given a sense of escapism, joy and hope through the beautiful game. César Tárrega, a native of the region, scored the opening goal in the 4-2 win and held up a shirt with the message: ‘Tots junts eixirem' - 'Together, we will come through this.' The past month has shown once again that climate change is not just a threat – it’s a daily reality for many people across the world and will inevitably hit underserved communities the hardest. Common Goal community organisation Fundación Fútbol Más España is working to share information to help those in the area and will be offering further support on the ground in the coming weeks. And Common Goal will continue working with organisations around the world to ensure climate resiliency through the game – by mobilising the global football industry and supporting the football for good sector through capacity, funding, and partnerships to drive local socially transformative climate action. Love and strength to everyone in Valencia ❤️
