Football for the city and its people

The streets along the lagoon watched closely as Albos and Ruleteros joined hands to bring aid to communities devastated by the fires. A press conference marked the moment when Alfredo Stöhwing, leader of Blanco & Negro, introduced Érick Wiemberg as Colo Colo’s new reinforcement for 2023. He and Everton organized a charitable gesture aimed at supporting victims of the wildfire that struck Viña del Mar, a disaster that affected 270 homes, including the residence of footballer Jorge Romo, and left 67 people injured alongside two fatalities.

According to Oro y Cielo, every penny raised from the fundraising match at Sausalito de Viña would flow straight to those in need, with each ticket contributing to families facing hardship in Chile today. Organizers indicated the event would take place in the second half of January, with additional details to be announced later, a plan underscored by Pedro Cedillo, the event organizer.

Colo Colo faces a packed schedule, highlighted by a highly anticipated match against Magallanes on the 15th, as the Primera Tournament 2023 begins the following week. Adjusting the calendar presents a challenge, yet there is broad agreement among stakeholders to accommodate the situation. .

WHEN AND WHERE

The aim is simple: football for the city. In partnership with Colo Colo, a solidarity shirt will be worn to support Viña del Mar. All proceeds will fund relief for fire victims. A social post from Everton de Viña del Mar echoed this sentiment on December 23, 2022.
