Athletic Club Expresses Support for Palestine Before La Liga Clash
(MENAFN) Spanish football team Athletic Club will demonstrate solidarity with Palestine before their La Liga encounter against RCD Mallorca on Saturday evening, the club declared on Friday.
“Honey Thaljieh, Athletic Club 125th anniversary ambassador, a group of Palestinian refugees in the Basque Country, and representatives from UNRWA will receive a show of support at San Mames before Athletic Club vs RCD Mallorca kicks odd,” the club stated.
The announcement revealed that on September 21, the Athletic Club Foundation initiated a collaboration with UNRWA Euskadi, which started in October and focuses on aiding Palestinian refugee children in Syria.
This program will deliver physical education sessions to nearly 8,000 disadvantaged children attending 16 schools managed by UNRWA.
UNRWA Euskadi is the local branch of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East operating in the Basque Country, an autonomous region in Spain.
To highlight the Foundation’s dedication to the Palestinian refugee population, Athletic Club has arranged a brief tribute ceremony set to occur before the Athletic Club vs RCD Mallorca match at San Mames.
During the event, the stadium’s video screens will feature the slogan: “Athletic Palestinaren alde. Stop genozidioa’ (Athletic stands with Palestine. Stop the genocide).”
