LaLiga Genuine Santander, the football league made up of teams for people with intellectual disabilities, returns to the city of Vigo to celebrate the start of the third phase of the 2022-23 season, after the second phase was held in Barcelona and Bilbao.
RC Celta, the host team for the weekend, wanted to share the celebration of its centenary with the protagonists of the inclusive project launched by LaLiga through its Foundation.

We wanted to come here, in addition to the centenary of the club, to value the commitment that RC Celta Integra has been demonstrating since the birth of LaLiga Genuine Santander, a unique competition in the world, where the important thing is not to compete, but to share”, indicated Tebas.
For his part, Mouriño expressed Celta’s excitement for once again hosting LaLiga Genuine Santander. “I want to thank the president, Javier Tebas, and the entire organization for allowing us to share this very special moment in the centenary of RC Celta.
