Spanish football magazine Panenka has teamed up with We Are Xuxa for a new campaign which is turning old La Liga football shirts into children’s hospital gowns.
The new campaign – Las Batas Mas Fuertas – which means ‘The Strongest Hospital Gowns’ in English is to help children ‘face their hardest match’ and recover faster.
Children at the Hospital San Rafael in Madrid have been seen wearing Messi and Greizman football shirts.
The caption of their promotional video which is filmed at the Madrid hospital says that it is to help children ‘face their hardest match’.
‘Illness is a scary rival. But it can be beaten. We’ve turned football shirts into hospital gowns.’
‘Because something great happens when we wear our team shirt. We become braver, stronger and more prepared to beat our opponent.’
A nurse at the Hospital San Rafael said:
‘The state of mind influences the evolution of a child, impacting how many days of hospitalization.’
‘A gown gives you so much joy, can reduce stress and in turn reduces the hospital stay, because it improves your mood and defenses at the same time and helps to recover faster.’
Las Batas Mas Fuertas – which is created by Spanish football magazine Panenka with We Are Xuxa – is now hoping for other hospitals to join the campaign.
