It's official: Luis Enrique and his daughter, Sira Martínez, confirm the family rumor

Luis Enrique and his daughter, Sira Martínez, have taken the definitive step with Xana's legacy

Luis Enrique and his daughter, Sira Martínez, have taken the final step and announced a very special piece of information for their family: they're involved in Fundación Xana. Luis Enrique and Sira Martínez have done so with emotion and also with great pride, confirming that they're moving forward with the good cause.

The family has gone through very tough times. Xana Martínez, the youngest daughter of the former Spanish national team coach, was born in 2009, and she was the youngest in the house because her siblings, Pacho and Sira, were already teenagers when she arrived. They had a considerable age difference, but they loved her deeply.

At the beginning of 2019, life changed for them: doctors diagnosed Xana Martínez with bone cancer (cáncer en los huesos), and the news was devastating, but the family showed strength. They accompanied Xana every step of the way and were always with her, until the end. On August 30, 2019, the girl passed away, she was only nine years old, and her departure left an immense void in the family.

Since then, Luis Enrique and Elena Cullell have wanted to transform the pain: in November 2023, they created Fundación Xana. It's a family-run, charitable, and non-profit organization. Its mission is clear: to help families going through similar situations, to offer them support, and to accompany them with sensitivity and commitment.

Now, the foundation has taken a new step: the solidarity t-jerseys have already arrived, as Sira Martínez has shared on her social media. She has done so with enthusiasm and a heart full of hope. The initiative represents much more than a simple garment; it's a symbol, a show of solidarity and love.

PSG's announcement account has also echoed the gesture and they've applauded it. "Participating in this noble cause, alongside those who work every day to accompany children and teenagers with serious illnesses, is an honor," they've written with pride. They've thanked Fundación Xana for this project and have described it as a campaign full of strength and humanity.
