In Seville, 19000 stuffed animals were thrown from the stands of the Benito Villamarín stadium, which will be donated to children most in need.
Betis fans threw a cascade of stuffed animals into the Benito Villamarín stadium during a match against Real Sociedad
The Seville stadium was dyed with a thousand colors when, during the half-time of the match between Real Betis and Real Sociedad, the fans threw thousands of soft toys from the stands. The local team's foundation has encouraged fans to bring puppets, which will be donated to children most in need so that they can also find a gift under the tree.
A gesture that has now become a real tradition. An appointment that, unfortunately, was skipped in 2020, due to the pandemic and the absence of the public, but which returned with strength in this Sunday's match. The Sevillian team celebrated with a 4 to 0 victory!

However, generosity won the most important game. According to information, a total of 19.000 stuffed animals have been collected, which will be assigned by the Real Betis Balompié Foundation to various associations. Among those who have already received some of the gifts are the Spanish Refugee Assistance Commission.
A gesture that highlights how sport can be the spring to create situations of fun, but also solidarity!
