Rayco Díaz, was only 22 years old, and in addition to being the goalkeeper of the regional group, he also trained the kids in the Benjamin category. "This year has been very hard, especially the first games, in which the boys have done very badly. I sincerely believe that they have not yet assimilated it, but little by little they are moving forward, life goes on, although we will never forget this great boy, especially the children he trained," says Juan Pedro Valiente, president of the Club.

In this "emotional" and "simple" recognition of the young Rayco Díaz, whom Valiente describes as "a great person, simple, humble, very loved and appreciated by the children he trained and by the regional group", was celebrated this Wednesday from 7:30 p.m. at the Tías Municipal Field. Sporting de Tías, UD Lanzarote for being the "most representative group on the island" and Atlético Tiense, where the young man was on loan for a season, participated in the competition that was organized.
