Dragon Boat Marina Valencia receives the support from Valencia CF in its fight against breast cancer

An action framed within the VCF World project for World Breast Cancer Day

Valencia CF spent a day with the dragons of Dragon Boat Marina Valencia. The president of Valencia CF, Layhoon Chan, and the director of the VCF Foundation, Inma Ibáñez, represented the Club.

Strong, brave and unstoppable. This is the motto of Dragon Boat, a rowing sports club for women who have overcome breast cancer. It is a social and inclusive team in which the benefits of rowing are evident. This team of women, who have survived breast cancer, also embraces women with other types of cancer.

Valencia CF, during last season, invited Dragon Boat Marina Valencia to live a unique experience in the centenary Camp de Mestalla, through the action ADN Mestalla Solidari of the Fundació VCF.

For Valencia CF, along with Fundació VCF, the social work of the Club is tremendously important. One of the most outstanding examples is the support given to the Research Institute of the Valencian Community (INCLIVA).

Social Actions

Valencia CF also carries out various social actions such as the different donations of sports equipment to countries in Africa and America; the petition tables with the Red Cross of the Valencian Community and the Spanish Association Against Cancer; the ADN Mestalla Solidari project (3rd edition) through which visibility is given to different NGOs and Associations of the Valencian Community at Valencia CF's Camp de Mestalla on match days; solidarity auctions with the MatchWornShirt entity; and collaborations with the Food Bank.

VCF World

Valencia CF launched this season VCF WORLD, a new social project whose main focus will be to raise awareness against racism and to prevent, educate and act against any type of abuse and discrimination such as bullying or homophobia, among others.

This initiative began with the publication of a decalogue of behavior against discrimination that has been developed by Valencia CF with the special collaboration of the psycho-education department of the VCF Academy and that includes values applicable both inside the Camp de Mestalla, as well as outside the stadium.
