Atlético de Madrid, in solidarity with the fight against epilepsy
The Atlético de Madrid Foundation, together with Carla Pereyra, are joining the campaign ‘Plays to score a #GoalForEpilepsy,’ an initiative to give visibility to the social stigmas suffered by children with epilepsy.
Within the framework of National Epilepsy Day, this action promoted together with the Spanish Epilepsy Federation (FEDE), the Spanish Epilepsy Society (SEEP) and UCB Pharma, seeks to raise awareness and inform about this disease that affects thousands of people.
The campaign uses football as a metaphor, highlighting the importance of strategy, teamwork, and perseverance to face the challenges posed by epilepsy. “In football, as in epilepsy, as in life, there are many moments…
And to move forward, we must have a shared strategy, as a team, never alone,” said Carla Pereyra, ambassador of the Atlético de Madrid Foundation. Elvira Vacas, president of FEDE, emphasizes the need for shared leadership to promote real change in the lives of people with epilepsy: “This campaign is not a symbolic gesture: it is a strategic move to advance towards a more just, more informed and more empathetic society.” With this valuable initiative, Atleti demonstrates its social commitment and team spirit, scoring a goal in favor of inclusion and empathy.
