An unforgettable day was protagonized by the schools of Buñol to commemorate March 8, International Women's Day.

The 3rd-grade students from the schools of Buñol, CEIP San Luis, CEIP Cervantes, and the 2nd-grade students from the Sagrada Familia Atalaya School, visited the first women's team at the Ciudad Deportiva, in an emotional action framed in the commemorative events of March 8, International Women's Day, together with the City Council of the locality.

The day began with a talk by two women who are clear examples of reconciliation, overcoming challenges, and athletes, Alharilla, and Ruth García; the team captain, a pioneer in elite Spanish football who took a break in her career to become pregnant, shared her daily life as a mother and footballer and highlighted the progress that female players are making. "When I started, my football role models were male; now, fortunately, girls can have women as role models thanks to the evolution of women's football," she emphasized.

On the other hand, the current councilor and director of institutional relations of the women's football section, Ruth García, also shared her journey as a player and emphasized the importance of girls nowadays wanting to be like Alba Redondo, María Méndez, Leire Baños, or any of the players who make up our squad.

The action also served as a gathering for the three schools in the locality, who enjoyed joint activities on the training fields. The mayor of Buñol, Virginia Sanz, expressed, "We wanted to propose a day of coexistence, merging it with Women's Day. Levante UD is a benchmark for women's football throughout Spain, and we wanted to take advantage so that the students could have a day of sports and women."

The hundred students who participated in the action also witnessed the training of the first women's team, and at its conclusion, they could meet the players, get their autographs, and take a photo with the entire squad as a memento of an unforgettable day.
