Players took to the pitch carrying a banner bearing the names of the athletes who lost their lives, while supporters waved Palestinian flags and held images of Gaza's fallen athletes. Organisers in Bilbao described the gathering as both a tribute and a call for global solidarity, saying the heavy toll on Gaza’s sporting community reflects the broader devastation endured by Palestinians throughout the enclave.
