Nadal, Cardassar's guest of honor at the match against Atletico Madrid
The president of CE Cardassar, Jaume Soler, confirmed this Monday that Rafa Nadal will be one of the guests at the Copa del Rey match between the modest Mallorcan club [Cardassar] and Atletico Madrid at the Es Moleter stadium [in Sant Llorenc, Mallorca] on Wednesday.
Nadal is a great soccer fan and well-known supporter of Real Madrid. In fact, he played for regional teams in his native Manacor before beginning his successful career in tennis.
"We want Nadal to be present in a historic game for us, but we are also very aware of the new measures that the Government will take to stop the coronavirus," said Soler.
Nadal was one of the thousands of volunteers who gave their help to the people of Sant Llorenç, a town devastated by a tragic storm that took the lives of thirteen people in October 2018.
The image of the Mallorcan tennis player, cleaning the mud from one of the town's houses with knee-high boots and a shovel, went around the world.
The Cardassar president also recalled that
Nadal donated one million euros to Sant Llorenç, and that the municipality
named him an adopted son for his involvement in cleaning tasks.
Another initiative of the city council chaired by the mayor of Sant Llorenç, Mateu Puigròs, has been
to name a street after Nadal, winner of twenty Grand Slam titles. ¤¤
