He added that as a parent of three children, he will soon be a father of a quarter, always “I encourage them to do sports and encourage them not only for the health benefits of sport, but because it is a method of teaching and instilling values.” The player, who despite the strong humidity of the Panamanian capital never stripped of the sack of his suit, also spent some time on the court watching the children’s work and did the honor of the training day.

It’s important for me to convey the experience I had as a player to the kids. The truth fills me with a lot of pride to be here and to see the children enjoy playing football, it is a joy for me and Real Madrid and its foundation,” he said.

The Amigos del Real Madrid Foundation in Panama (Farmep), was established in 2005 as a private non-profit organization, whose legal entity is endorsed by the Panamanian Institute of Sports (Pandeportes).

The foundation was inaugurated on January 28, 2006, in the City of Knowledge, Clayton and from 2009 changed its headquarters to the Omar Recreational and Cultural Park, in the Panamanian capital. It also has sub-headquarters in Chitré, in Azuero, and Tolé, in the province of Chiriquí, in the west of the Central American country.
