The Rafa Nadal Foundation has been honored with the award in the Sport & Wellbeing category at the Somos Fanes 2026 Gala, held on Wednesday, April 22, in Madrid. This recognition highlights the Foundation’s work in promoting sport as a tool for social inclusion and the development of holistic wellbeing.
The award was accepted by María Francisca Perelló, Director of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, who was accompanied at the gala by Ricardo de Diego, a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, to whom the Foundation extends special thanks for his support and presence at such a meaningful event.
During the ceremony, the impact of the Foundation’s programs was emphasized, as they aim to improve the quality of life of children and young people through sport and education, fostering their physical, emotional, and social development.
The Somos Fanes Awards were created in 2024 with the aim of recognizing professionals, institutions, and organizations working to improve people’s lives in the fields of wellbeing and health. Following the success of previous editions, these awards have become a benchmark platform for showcasing initiatives that promote holistic wellbeing in our society.
The concept of holistic wellbeing goes beyond physical health, encompassing mental, emotional, and social balance. This vision aligns fully with the mission of the Rafa Nadal Foundation and reinforces its commitment to continuing to create opportunities through sport.
