The FC Barcelona Foundation will auction the first team players' jerseys to raise funds for disaster victims

The FC Barcelona Foundation will auction the jerseys that its players will be wearing this Sunday against RCD Espanyol at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, to raise funds to assist the population affected by the extreme weather disaster in several parts of Eastern Spain this week. The club and the Foundation will be announcing further projects soon.

FC Barcelona believes it is essential to carry out a coherent and clear support exercise, and above all, professional, avoiding actions that are ineffective or could even hinder the work of rescue teams.

The Foundation recommends its members and Barça fans not to send clothing or food at this time, as they overwhelm humanitarian corridors and the routes opened for emergency services. Anyone who does wish to help should use the aid lines from the organizations it collaborates with (Red Cross, Caritas, and Food Bank), who are experienced in emergencies and will deliver all basic materials to the affected areas.

Direct aid

Contact have been made with the mayors of the worst-hit municipalities to coordinate concrete actions that can help them in the coming weeks or months, and to which funds raised by the club and the Foundation will be allocated. President Joan Laporta is trying to contact them directly to support them during this time and seek joint solutions.

Minute's silence

A minute's silence is being observed in memory of those who lost their lives before all games being played at FC Barcelona this weekend.
