At the beginning of this year 2020, the health status of Turki Al-Sheikh, president of Almería, worried the fans of the Almeria club, as well as football fans. The sheikh announced through social networks that he should travel to the United States to undergo medical treatment. At that time, a multitude of players shared messages of support for the owner of the Andalusian club.
Now, a few months later and after overcoming the disease, Al-sheikhha announced that it will carry out a solidarity initiative in gratitude received from all the fans.
“To the people of my beloved city of Almeria: After all your support during my agonizing illness here I am. I have recovered and I want to return a small portion of everything I received, so I am going to donate € 200,000 to buy the covid-19 vaccine. The mayor of Almería will help us distribute it among the people of our city. You are in my heart ”, the club itself announced in a statement signed by the president of Almería.
