Estepona FC releases pink shirt to raise funds for local cancer charity

Estepona FC has launched a limited-edition pink and white shirt to support the Estepona branch of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), according to Euro Weekly News. The shirts go on sale at the stadium’s official shop from Sunday, October 11, at 6pm.

Each shirt costs €40, and the club says the profits from every sale will fund the AECC’s work in the town. Only a limited number have been produced.

Matches tied to the campaign

Sales open on the day Estepona play Club Atlético Central. Representatives of the AECC, a national charity that works on cancer prevention, research and patient support, will take the ceremonial kick-off.

A week later, on Sunday, October 18, Estepona host Marbella FC, the day before International Breast Cancer Day on October 19. All eleven starters will wear the commemorative shirt for that fixture.

Women from the local AECC group feature in the campaign

Three women from the local AECC group, all of whom have overcome breast cancer, appeared in the campaign photoshoot. They were joined by players Cristian “Titi” and Bakary Sow.

The club says it wants to reach women who have faced or are facing the disease, as well as the families and friends who support them. In its words, “behind every figure there is a story, a person and a fight”.

Club officials have thanked the three women for their generosity and courage, along with the club’s sponsors and the Estepona AECC for their involvement in the project.
