The derby between Valencia CF and Levante UD, held on November 21, was far more than just a football match. Thanks to a special initiative promoted by BKT — a leading manufacturer of Off-Highway tires and Official Tire Partner of LALIGA — the players’ entrance onto the pitch became a powerful symbol of solidarity and hope.

To mark this occasion, Fundació VCF invited 11 children from the Escoles Blanquinegres program, all from families affected by the DANA storm, to accompany the Valencia CF players. At the same time, Fundación Levante UD gave the same unforgettable opportunity to 11 children with intellectual disabilities, ensuring they were at the heart of the celebration.

FOOTBALL, SHARING, AND LEGENDARY SURPRISES

The magic began on Thursday, November 20, when the children enjoyed a day dedicated to football and friendship. A highlight of the event was the presence of two club legends: Miguel Tendillo for Valencia CF and Héctor Rodas for Levante UD, who shared stories and inspiration with the young fans. To conclude the day, BKT and LALIGA presented personalized gifts to each child, creating a lasting memory of their experience.

Through this initiative, BKT and LALIGA strengthen their bond with the communities that surround the world of football, offering tangible support to a population that has faced incredibly difficult times. Once again, sport proves to be a transformative tool, capable of meeting the needs of the new generations—especially in vulnerable contexts—and giving them moments of pure joy.

This activity confirms how deeply BKT cares about the dreams of the youngest fans. Together with LALIGA, we are already working on new projects to ensure that many more children can see their football dreams come true. Because at BKT, every dream counts.
