How it began
From personal memory
to a shared project.
In 2010, after the sudden death of Jordi Pitarque Ceprià, 28 of his friends came together to create an organisation that would go beyond personal remembrance.
The project would reflect two of his greatest passions —football and children— and pass on his way of understanding sport and life. The first tournament was held in 2011.
“Humility, friendship, effort and care for children remain present in every Association activity.”
Who Jordi was
Footballer.
Friend.
Role model.
Jordi Pitarque Ceprià was born in L’Ampolla on 11 June 1987. After developing at clubs across the region, he reached CF Reus Deportiu. He died on 6 September 2010, aged 23, following a cardiorespiratory arrest.
His friendship, humility, joy and determination give meaning to a project that looks to the future without ever losing sight of its origins.
