Before the match between River Plate and Rosario Central, the River Plate Foundation held a new edition of Sin Fronteras (No Borders) alongside the clubs: Club Héroes de Malvinas and Club Espacio Puentes Cura Brochero. This initiative in the interior of the country aims to create bonds of unity in a context of support for the work of neighborhood clubs and social organizations where football serves as a social tool.
Representing Club Atlético River Plate at this charitable action were Jorge Brito, President; Matías Patanian, First Vice President; Lucas Lavagnino, a player from the professional football first team; and Clara D´Onofrio, president of the River Plate Foundation.
During the meeting, sports donations were made to ensure the clubs continue to operate. They received sports equipment such as balls, hurdles, cones, mini bosus, coordination ladders, whistles, among others. There were also raffles that included balls, sports bags, sports kits, goalkeeper gloves, jerseys, and caps.
At the event, Jorge Brito emphasized: “It is very important to be perseverant and to respect each other because it is a team sport, and being good teammates will always lead to better outcomes.”
Lucas Lavagnino left a message for the boys and girls present: “It is very important that you never give up, that with effort you can achieve your dreams.”
Additionally, Clara D´Onofrio added: “If a boy or girl is on the pitch, it means they are not on the street. That is the reason that motivates us to continue strengthening and making visible the excellent work that neighborhood clubs do every day. From the Foundation, we support these sports spaces because we can promote education and foster values.”
Club Espacio Puentes Cura Brochero is a parish club in the commercial neighborhood, a neighborhood in the southern area of Córdoba capital. It serves 60 children and offers male and female football, basketball, and an orchestra. They also have family support spaces. Club Héroes de Malvinas, on the other hand, is a parish club that has been operating for eight years in the Héroes de Malvinas neighborhood, seeking to create spaces of inclusion and support for children and adolescents from the neighborhood. Currently, between 50 and 60 kids attend the space, participating in various activities that are conducted: male football, female football, school support, Saturday workshop (music), and catechism.
