AWhile your name sounds like future general sports director of the Spanish Football Federation, Mateu Alemany has been the winner of this edition of The Battle of Starsthe charity tournament organized by the golf clubs of Son Servera and Pula to raise funds in the fight against ALS and multiple sclerosis.
Alemany, who was general director of Mallorca or Barcelona, succeeds the singer David Otero, winner in 2023, in the list of winners. He has won an intense double day of sports practice, coexistence between golfers and solidarity, which has counted on the presence, among others, of Pepe Reina, Javier Clemente, Bernd Schuster, Albert Riera, Mauro Tassotti, Henrik Larsson, John Arne Riise or Alain Boghossian.

This last day I received a visit from relatives of those affected by ALSto show your support in the fight against the disease. “These types of events make this disease known and allow us to obtain financial support to maintain services such as psychology, physiotherapy, etc.,” said Cati Rigo, president of the Balearic ALS Association.
Rigo had some words for Juan Carlos Unzu�who has joined in the dissemination of the tournament: “Since she made her diagnosis public, many more people are more sensitive to the repercussions and the need to continue working against her.”
Unzu� wanted to highlight, during The Battle of Stars, the importance of the power of sport: “All these initiatives have the objective of making ALS visible and in this way raising awareness throughout the world. It is necessary that more public money be invested in research in addition to helping those currently affected can live with dignity.”
“When we look in the mirror we cannot deceive ourselves. Therefore, if we have a clear conscience, we will be happy with ourselves. I have always believed in people, but now I am living it on a very deep level. It is the great capacity that people have to adapt and overcome very complicated situations,” said Unzu.
