Spectators and participants alike can expect a festive atmosphere that blends competition with generosity, as every match contributes to a shared cause.

Salsa and other lively performances will add to the celebratory mood, making the day enjoyable for residents and visitors who want to spend time together in a supportive environment devoted to giving back to the community.
As the day unfolds, a charity dinner will bring together officials and notable participants from Alicante’s political and social scenes.
