IE Football Club Hosts Successful Fundraising Event

The IE Football Club would like to thank the IE Community for their support to the Fundraising Pizza Gathering which took place last December. It was blessed from the beginning with a bright sun shining on the Serrano 99 Terrace. As soon as the clock struck 15 the crowd of students started to gather with enthusiasm.

Real Madrid tickets were raffled at the event and the lucky winners, Alexis Dos Santos and Enrique López, won 2 tickets each to visit the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and enjoy great games against top teams such as Valencia and Villareal, respectively. In Alexis' words "the game between Real Madrid and Valencia was excellent, the atmosphere at the stadium was very special...the seats are in a great location from where you can see the whole field".

The gathering was a great opportunity to spend time and chat with friends before the Christmas break while helping the Football Club. The funds will be used to cover part of the expenses of the upcoming business schools' tournaments.


The Club is very thankful to all the supporters, the volunteers, the staff and to every person who contributed to the event. We look forward to your ongoing kind support!

IE Football Club Fundraising Takes You to the Santiago Bernabeu

As a part of our goal to reach enough funds to have the club running and to be able to provide fun for our members, we have organized a set of fundraising raffles for all of IE students. The winner gets two tickets to watch the Real Madrid team at the Santiago Bernabeu and here we have the story of the experience of the one of the past winners. We hope that more of you contribute to our team, helping us with the Club, and at the same time, winning these incredible tickets.

Our first winner was Carlos Tarrats and here you have his story:

"Knowing that you are a few blocks away from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, it's a unique opportunity that is not present everyday. The IE Football Club, which I have to congratulate for the organization and energy, and the Student Office had a raffle to see the Real Madrid. I won the tickets and it was going to be 

my first time watching Real Madrid. It was a critical match because many variables were playing at the same time (cutting points against Barcelona FC, leading La Liga). Going out of the Bernabeu metro station towards the stadium with all the fans, and watching all the faces wishing and praying for a victory was an amazing experience. The game was great in terms of suspense and performance but..., sadly, Real Madrid lost the game. This is football, sometimes you win and others you lose and that's the excitement of the game, because until the game it's over everything can happen.

Thanks again to the IE Football Club for this incredible experience!"
