Deportivo to wear special jersey against Eibar in support of Valencia

The points of support for those affected by the floods in the Valencian Community are so many that, in many places where material and food is being collected, the organisers have had to stop the donations because there are already more than enough. Deportivo La Coruna are taking part in the solidarity campaign and will play against Eibar on Monday evening wearing a special shirt.

The shirt features the words ‘Força València’ in the centre of the garment and, once the head-to-head with the ‘Armeros’ is over, it will be auctioned through the club's virtual channels. The club's Foundation will then allocate a percentage of the proceeds to the victims of the catastrophe, for which the club has already mobilised 70 tonnes of basic products and 10 tonnes of clothing thanks to the support of its fans, who collected this material in Riazor.

This initiative also concerns the women's team: hence some differentiation in the two teams that have been put in contention for this matchday. The Galicians faced Real Sociedad on Sunday at 12:00 CEST and lost by the minimum due to an own goal by Raquel Garcia 4 minutes after the start. As a result of this defeat, the group is now on the verge of the relegation places with only one point more than Levante.

"Deportivo, with the support of Abanca and Estrella Galicia, the main sponsors, will show their solidarity with those affected by the DANA in the Valencian Community. Thus, the shirts of Depor and Depor ABANCA that will play, this matchday, the league matches against SD Eibar and Real Sociedad, respectively, will display the message ‘Força València’’, reads the statement from the Galician side about their solidarity shirts.
