Fran Sol launches crowdfunding for family of Tenerife's Jesús de Miguel

In early November 2026, footballer Fran Sol, a striker who had previously played for Tenerife, launched an online crowdfunding campaign for the family of Jesús de Miguel. De Miguel was a Tenerife player whose death had shocked Spanish football.

Sol said the money raised would go to the late player's relatives. The appeal spread quickly through the football world, and fellow professionals, including some of Sol's colleagues and players from other clubs, shared it and donated. Reports said the total passed €100,000 within days of its launch.

The campaign mattered because it turned the sadness of the football community into direct practical help for a grieving family. It was one of several gestures of support after the death. Tenerife, the player's club, also announced separate financial support for his young daughter.

The fundraiser became the starting point for the later donations and for the family's public thanks to those who contributed.
