Spanish football giants Real Madrid have announced a major humanitarian initiative to support victims of the recent earthquakes in Venezuela, pledging significant financial assistance to aid relief and recovery efforts.
In an official statement, the club revealed that the Real Madrid Foundation is partnering with the Red Cross to launch a fundraising campaign to help communities affected by the disaster.
As part of the initiative, Real Madrid has committed €1 million to support victims and their families as they recover from the devastating impact of the earthquakes.
The club also announced that its president, Florentino Pérez, will personally contribute an additional €1 million to the relief effort, bringing the total initial contribution to €2 million.
In its statement, Real Madrid expressed solidarity with the Venezuelan people and offered words of encouragement to those affected by the tragedy.
“At Real Madrid, we want to express our full support, affection and solidarity with the Venezuelan people during this difficult time,” the club said.
The fundraising campaign is expected to help provide emergency assistance, including food, medical supplies, temporary shelter and other essential resources for families impacted by the earthquakes.
Natural disasters often place enormous pressure on local authorities and humanitarian organisations, making international support crucial in the immediate aftermath.
The Red Cross and other aid agencies have been working to assess damage, assist survivors and coordinate relief operations in affected areas.
Real Madrid has a long history of supporting humanitarian causes through its foundation, which regularly partners with charitable organisations around the world to provide assistance during emergencies and promote social development through sport.
