The players took the field with t-shirts in favour of the refugees
The foundations of Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona join the initiative of the UNHCR Spanish Committee to raise funds in favour of the refugees.
The players of Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona took the field in the match corresponding to the third round of the National League Championship wearing shirts in favour of the thousands of refugees who have left their countries in the Middle East running away from death and destruction.
Atlético Madrid’s Foundation and the UNHCR Spanish Committee will carry out other complementary actions in the stadium. An explanatory video of the situation of the refugees and how to collaborate on www.ayudasiria.org will be broadcasted on the electronic scoreboards of the Vicente Calderón.
In addition, PERCA, the company that supplies the cushions in the matches played at the Vicente Calderón stadium, joined the cooperation with UNHCR and will allocate 50% of the revenues obtained with the renting of pillows in the match against FC Barcelona to the refugees helping campaign.
