Argentinian clubs show solidarity with Bahía Blanca

Various institutions from all over the country collaborated with the solidarity campaign for the city's floods.

After the severe storm and floods that hit the city of Buenos Aires on March 7, causing significant material damage and even loss of life, several clubs and other institutions stepped up to support those affected and organized solidarity campaigns and collections.

Some of the Professional League clubs that collaborated with this critical situation were the Big 5 (River, Boca, Independiente, Racing, and San Lorenzo). Additionally, Estudiantes and Gimnasia de La Plata joined in, having already experienced a similar situation when La Plata flooded in 2013.

Teams from the B Nacional like Colón, Estudiantes de Caseros, and San Miguel, among others, also joined the solidarity movement.

Meanwhile, not only did the clubs open a space for collaboration, but some institutions also contributed their "grain of sand," including the Federal Council of Argentine Football, which is receiving non-perishable food at the official AFA headquarters (Viamonte 1366, CABA), and AFA itself, which will send provisions, non-perishable food, hygiene items, and mattresses.
