WE ARE ALL ONE HEARTBEAT

The Catalan Football Federation launched during the 2020-2021 season, with the publication and sending to all its Clubs of circular no. 46, the campaign We Are All One Heartbeat, where the signing of an agreement with the Leo Messi Foundation, the "la Caixa" Foundation CaixaBank, the defibrillator provider company CardioSOS and the FCF Foundation is explained, addressing the cardioprotection of all Catalan football and futsal. The objective of the campaign WE ARE ALL ONE HEARTBEAT has been to promote the installation of defibrillators in all football fields, pavilions, and futsal courts throughout Catalonia, with the clear purpose of avoiding cases of sudden death in sports, providing a service to the sports environment, to footballers, and to the general public, but also making outoor installation possible -on the street- of the equipment to serve all citizens. The campaign, which has had the participation of footballer Leo Messi, had an investment of 200,000 euros in order to directly cardioprotect up to 180 possible sports facilities where there could be a lack of a defibrillator device while it has sought to promote and disseminate the need for renovation of existing devices as well as the agreements already signed by the entities with the cardioprotective companies. The cardioprotection program is part of the WE ARE ALL ONE TEAM campaign, to promote and boost Catalan amateur football and futsal, focusing, among other axes, on promoting safe and healthy sports practice, taking into account that the health of federated members is a priority issue for the FCF.
