LaLiga Genuine is already a consolidated project on the national stage and promotes equality, tolerance and respect through the power of football, but also through socio-labour inclusion programs and support for the training of its members.
Each of the matches played throughout the season represents an opportunity for participants to show their passion for football and demonstrate that, with determination and support, everyone can achieve their dreams.
