The president of the VCF Footballers Association, Fernando Giner; and VCF Inclusivo coach Fran Borcha and players Eduardo Gómez and Álvaro Reyes, also visited the tables.

"Today, we once again join the AECC on such an important day, in which we are also joined, for the first time, by the heads of Oncology from renowned Valencian hospitals," said Teo Swee Wei.

"With this collaboration, we want to involve Valencian society, whether connected to football or not, supporters of Valencia CF or not, both young and old."

"We wish and hope that many people will join in with the initiative, today and always," he concluded.
