Real To Donate Money To Peru...

The Club will donate part of the money made in the derby against Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid, following their charitable convictions, will try to help the 90,000 Peruvians affected by the earthquake by donating part of the money made from ticket sales of the derby against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Real Madrid does a lot of charitable work. Besides organising events and signing agreements throught its Foundation, the Club annually collaborates with the Red Cross and with the Spanish Association Against Cancer.



After the Tsunami tragedy occured in the Indian Ocean, the Club set up several desks asking people to donate money to help the victims. The Club's latest charitable effort took place in December, when it donated all the money made from the match against Recreativo Huelva to the families of Huelva fans who died in a bus accident on their way to Madrid to see the match.
Helping out the victims of the terrible earthquake that took place in Peru a few days ago, Real Madrid once again prove to worry about poor families and people affected by natural disasters.
If you wish to help the families of the over 500 dead and over 1,500 injured in Peru, you can make a donation at the desks set up at Gates 55, 44, 33, and 6, Towers A, B and C, and the Presidential Balcony of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium

Nice of Real.

Feyenoord is the only club having a partnership with Unicef.

how about barcelona.

We pay Unicef to wear their logo FFS. When you give up €15m to put Unicef on your shirt then we can talk.

We don't have the same amount of money your have. A far bigger bit percentage of our budget over recent years went to project which we run together with UNicef. We initiated it ourselves and Unicef it thought it was so great they joined in.

Feyenoord's football academy in Ghana is called an example to all football academy by Unicef (that's why it's the only academy in Aftrica with Unicef approval), because we're not just there invest money to develop new players, Feyenoord, the local popualtion & Unicef developed various educational programs (general, anti-aids, etc). This progam has been running for years. Unicef have become Feyenoord's offcial partner, because of what we did overthere (not just money).

Just throwing some money when you're extremely rich, says f@ck all about commitment. Got a feeling your board put Unicef on your shirt, so later on you can introduce a different shirt sponsor.

You've hit the nail on the head. It's exactly what they plan to do, using the Unicef sponsor to break the ice, before bring in another sponsor which will be more benefical to Barca.

If Laporta had decided to put a sponsor on the Barca shirts there would have been a bit of a backlash from the fans, most of which are against shirts sponors.

there's another issue is you give money to Unicef (or a similar big organisation) directly, only a small percentage ends up with the people who need it (big organisations eat money). Most of our money directly goes into projects with little overhead. I'm sure the millions we spent in Ghana have been very effective.

Not most of the fans are against sponsor. I would say it's 50/50. Barça also have lots of projects you can read them here http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/Fundacio/english/ .

Really? I remember when Laporta talked about the idea of a sponsor (notUnicef) there was stuff about in the papers who most fans were angry about their club giving into commercialisation

Of course the fans who don't want it will be angry. But there are plenty of fans in favour of it. Some are annoyed that we got UNICEF instead of a sponsor that paid money, some say it's time to move on from the old traditions and adapt to the new world of football. It's probably not 50/50 but not as unequal as some of you think.

What's your opinion?

Is Barça politically left-wing ?

During the Franco years it was certainly an anti-fascist club. Once the stadium was closed for a few games because the fans booed the spanish anthem and cheered on the "God Save the Queen". Also it was the only place were peopel could display catalan flags and speak in catalan. A lot of people of the club have been involved with ERC (a nationalist left wing party) in that time and one of the presidents was killed because of this (Josep Sunyol). Nowadays it's just a catalanist club.

a Institution for Catalan pride , makes sense why Barcelona don't want any sponsor on their shirts , i even read the Nike 'swoosh' caused some controversy. Still fight the growing commercialism
