The Real Madrid Legends charity match brings hundreds of attendees together in Suances in support of Cohorte Cantabria research

The Fila 0 (Row 0) remains open for those wishing to collaborate with the project promoted by IDIVAL and enter the draw for an official jersey signed by the Legends.

The Valdecilla Research Institute (IDIVAL) has expressed a very positive assessment of the charity match held last Saturday at the La Ribera field in Suances, which brought together the veterans of S.D. San Martín de la Arena and Real Madrid Legends, with the goal of raising funds for the development of the Cohorte Cantabria project.

The match, which ended with a 0–4 victory for the visiting team, stood out for its charitable spirit and the excellent response from the public, who filled the sports venue as a show of support for biomedical research in the region. Beyond the score, the event highlighted the community’s social commitment to initiatives that contribute to scientific progress and improved quality of life.

The pitch welcomed well‑known football figures such as Carlos Alonso “Santillana,” who performed the ceremonial kickoff, along with José Antonio Camacho, Martín Vázquez, Luis Milla, Raúl Bravo, Congo, and Javi Balboa, among others.

Tickets, priced at 10 euros, sold out within a few days, reflecting the strong interest generated by this charitable initiative. However, the Fila 0 (IBAN: ES59 2100 2069 4702 0027 7526, indicating “FILA 0,” the donor’s name and phone number, and listing SAN MARTÍN DE LA ARENA as the beneficiary) remains open for those who wish to contribute. Donations over 20 euros will be entered into a draw for an official jersey signed by Real Madrid Legends.
