We deeply regret having to confirm the news we never wanted to publish. We are filled with pain over the death of David Cordon Cano, father of our player 'Davinchi', in the tragic accident in Adamuz, Cordoba. 'We met seven months ago and in that short time you won us over with your simplicity, charm, and generosity. Rest in peace, dear friend,' expressed the blue team on digital platforms. Cordon Cano was returning to Huelva after witnessing the match between Getafe and Valencia at the Coliseum. He was on the Alvia 2384 train, which departed from Madrid heading to the capital of Huelva, and was involved in the tragic accident. David was a member of the Spanish beach soccer team that won the European championship in 2001 and 2004, and in the latter year, he was named the most valuable player of the tournament.

Spain, as always, proving to be the most supportive country.'
