On one side, Vanesa Martín, María Peláe, La Mari de Chambao, Elvira Sastre, Marta Soto, Pitu Aparicio, Alba Sweet, Bosska, and Salma. Or, in other words, the Folklóricas. On the other, a cast that remains a secret and will be known as the Golfas. This is the event that will take place next Sunday, June 21, at the Arroyo de la Miel sports center under the name 'La Pataíta Golfa,' aiming to raise funds for Golfo Rescate Animal and Te Ayudamos a Adoptar Fulanita Dog.

Inspired by the historic charity match that took place in 1971 at the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, home of Sevilla Football Club, featuring flamenco and copla stars like Lola Flores or María Jiménez (the Folklóricas) and women from pop and cinema like Encarnita Polo or Paloma Cela (the Finoli), this event featuring artists and influencers revives that carefree spirit to transform it into a grand charity festival where football will be the focal point.

There will be live music, DJ sessions, children's activities, paella, and a charity bar.

The day, which will start at 12:00 PM, will be hosted by Dani Rovira and Tomás García, who will act as masters of ceremonies and speakers for the event. Besides the match, the audience will enjoy live music, DJ sessions, children's activities, paella, and a charity bar, as well as an original match-performance that will merge sport, spectacle, and creativity to provide unique moments for the attendees.

'Streaming' and Row 0

The charity action will be carried out in collaboration with Golfo Rescate Animal and Te Ayudamos a Adoptar Fulanita Dog, and the organization has set up a Row 0 for all those who wish to collaborate with the initiative even if they cannot attend in person. The event will also be available live via streaming, allowing people from anywhere to join this charitable action.

"For Benalmádena, it is a pride to host an event of these characteristics, capable of uniting sport, solidarity, culture, and citizen participation for the benefit of such an important cause as animal welfare," pointed out the Benalmádena Councilor for Animal Protection, Áurea Peralta. Meanwhile, the Councilor for Sports, Alejandro Carretero, highlighted that "from the City Council, we continue to support initiatives that turn our sports facilities into spaces open to the entire citizenry, promoting values such as coexistence, inclusion, and social commitment."
