FC Porto wear Colombia solidarity shirt against FC Arouca | OneFootball

In the match against FC Arouca, FC Porto wore the shirt from the FC Porto All Around (Colombia) collection, in an initiative jointly promoted by the FC Porto Foundation and the Luis Díaz Foundation.

The shirt symbolizes the connection between the Club and the South American country and, on this occasion, was used to pay tribute to the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10.

After being worn, the shirts will be signed by the entire squad and auctioned by the Luis Díaz Foundation. The proceeds will support a joint initiative by the two foundations in solidarity with the Colombian people.

In this way, the FC Porto Foundation expresses its support for the communities affected by the magnitude 7.4 earthquake, whose epicenter was located near San José del Palmar, in Chocó​. The initiative carries particular significance because of Luis Díaz’s connection to FC Porto. The Colombian international represented the Club between 2019 and 2022, leaving a notable mark on and off the pitch.

With this initiative, the two foundations aim to turn the bond between FC Porto and Colombia into a concrete demonstration of solidarity and mobilization, drawing on football’s unifying power to help those most in need.

Created in 2019, the Luis Díaz Foundation was born from the former FC Porto player’s desire to contribute to the development of his region and provide new opportunities for vulnerable children and young people through sport and education.
