Villarreal and Leganes are the latest to announce actions to help and pay tribute to the victims of the DANA storm tragedy in the Valencian Community. The Yellow Submarine had their match cancelled last weekend, and will face Alaves at home on Saturday.

Ahead of the match, Villarreal have announced a giant Valencian Community flag will be unfurled, pre-match t-shirts with the message ‘Forca Valencia’ and a minute of silence will take place. The players will also wear a special black shirt, and there will be a special captain’s armband too.

Meanwhile Leganes have also announced in a public letter from owner Jeff Luhnow that they will be donating to the cause too. They host Sevilla at Butarque on Saturday night, and for each kilometre that the Leganes players run, they will donate €100 to the cause.

Ahead of the game, they will play the anthem of the Valencian Community instead of their own, and throughout the course of the week, they have collected 200 tonnes of aid at Butarque, which has been sent to the Valencian Community.
