Palmeiras support Yellow September in Copa do Brasil v Fortaleza | OneFootball

Palmeiras will promote actions related to Yellow September during the match against Fortaleza, scheduled for 9 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Allianz Parque. The campaign raises awareness about the prevention and fight against depression and suicide in Brazil.

The Palmeiras players will take the field with a special patch on their uniforms related to the theme, and one of the athletes will wear the number 188 on his back, referencing the phone number provided by CVV (Center for the Valorization of Life) for people in need of psychological help.

“The Yellow September campaign is essential for today's world. Unfortunately, the number of people with depression has increased in recent years, and we need to strengthen this cause so that these people feel supported during such a difficult time in their lives. Palmeiras will always be available to boost campaigns like this,” said Everaldo Coelho, Palmeiras' vice president of marketing and communication.

Data from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that every day at least 32 Brazilians take their own lives, and worldwide, it is estimated that a suicide occurs every 40 seconds.
