MADRID, 4 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Movistar announced this Wednesday the return of the ‘Movistar Solidarity Matches’ under the slogan ‘Let’s play to help’, whereby all the points scored in the Endesa League matches next weekend will be converted into 15 euros to help the most in need, in an initiative that has also been joined by the women’s teams of Valencia Basket, Unicaja and Movistar Estudiantes.
On this occasion, the telephone company, together with its sponsors acb, Movistar Riders and the women’s teams, will collect kilos of food for FESBAL (Spanish Federation of Food Banks) to help those most in need. The more points scored by the players of the acb clubs and the women’s teams and the more rounds and goals scored by the representatives of Movistar Riders, the more kilos of food will be donated to those most in need.
Thus, Movistar will donate 15 euros for each point scored in all the matches of matchday 15 of the Endesa League on January 7 and 8. In addition to the goals scored by the teams, they will also donate 15 euros for each point scored by the player who signs the highest score in the ‘Movistar Solidarity Matches’.
In addition, the amounts collected in these nine games will be joined by the women’s teams of the clubs sponsored by Movistar, who play that same weekend and whose matches will have the same donation per point converted, and the eSports team Movistar Riders. In his case, the company will donate €20 per Counter Strike game played in his clan on the FACEIT platform, and €75 for each goal scored by the riders Andoni and Tuga in the FIFA World Cup qualifier.
Fans will be able to collaborate from home, donating through the web and it will also be possible to participate through social networks. The company will enable donations on Twitter, contributing €1 for each retweet to a charity publication, with a maximum of €5,000. The proceeds from this solidarity weekend will be converted directly into food (1 kilo of food = 1.1 euros).
With this new edition of the “Movistar Solidarity Parties” continuity is given to the action that took place with solidarity days in the 2019-2020, 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. In December 2020, 24,494 euros were raised, which became food for the Food Bank, while last year, 35,389 euros were raised, which supported those affected by the eruption of the La Palma volcano.
