Elche and Betis Auction Their Jerseys for Jesús de Miguel’s Family – Starting Bid: 50 Euros

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Elche and Betis Auction Their Jerseys for Jesús de Miguel’s Family – Starting Bid: 50 Euros.

Elche and Betis are turning their solidarity into a concrete auction: After the match, the clubs’ jerseys are to go to fans and friends of football. The proceeds are earmarked for the family of Jesús de Miguel, the Tenerife player who died after a collision with Owono, the goalkeeper for Andorra.

The action is part of a broader movement of solidarity. As reported by ABC.es, Betis player Fran Sol initiated an online fundraising campaign. Players including Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente and Álvaro Fidalgo have joined it, some publicly and others anonymously.

While the ABC.es report focuses primarily on the fundraising efforts of the players and clubs, El Mundo provides the specific details of the jersey auction. The action is therefore tangible: there is a fixed starting bid, an end to the bidding period and a clear purpose for the proceeds.

The Auction Starts at 50 Euros

The auction begins after the final whistle and will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 9. This gives interested bidders time to bid on a jersey after the match between Elche and Betis. All the jerseys start at 50 euros.

The auction begins after the final whistle and will remain open until Monday, November 9, at 11:59 p.m. All jerseys start at a price of 50 euros.

The information provided answers the most important questions about the start, end and minimum bid. However, it does not reveal how much money the auction will ultimately raise: The number of jerseys being auctioned, the bids submitted and the prices achieved will all be decisive. Neither of the two reports provides a total amount or a fundraising target.

Elche and Betis Expand the Players’ Support

The clubs are going beyond mere expressions of solidarity. According to ABC.es, Elche and Real Betis are involved in different initiatives to support Jesús de Miguel’s surviving family. The participation of Betis players is also visible to varying degrees: Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente and Álvaro Fidalgo were named, while other players are taking part anonymously.

The campaign initiated by Fran Sol forms the organizational core of this support. The two clubs’ jersey auction adds a tangible item directly connected to the match itself. According to the reports, the proceeds are intended for the family of the deceased player.

For those affected, what matters in the end is not just a single contribution, but the sum of various donations. The private fundraising campaign and the proceeds from the auctioned jerseys go into the same support framework, with contributions from players added on top. However, the reports do not describe the process in detail.

Fatal Collision

According to ABC.es, the fatal collision occurred last Monday. Jesús de Miguel was playing for Tenerife when he collided with Owono, the goalkeeper for the Andorran national team. The report identifies the collision as the cause of the tragic death and shows that the solidarity did not begin only after a public campaign, but started immediately after the incident.

Fran Sol, Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente and Álvaro Fidalgo represent the response of the players involved. One initiated the online fundraising campaign, while the others contributed publicly or anonymously. Elche and Betis subsequently turned it into an action by their clubs, with the auctioned jerseys being offered for the family of the deceased player.

What the Reports Confirm — and What Remains Unclear

Confirmed: Elche and Betis are auctioning their jerseys, all of which start at 50 euros, and bids can be submitted after the final whistle until 11:59 p.m. on Monday. In addition, there is a fundraising campaign initiated by Fran Sol that several Betis players have joined.

Not specified is how exactly the auction will be conducted, which platform will accept the bids, how many jerseys will be auctioned and what share of the proceeds will go directly to the family. Neither of the two reports gives a specific funding target. Those wishing to support the action should therefore wait for further information from the organizers rather than expect a particular donation target.

The combination of the campaign, quiet participation and auction makes the aid effort broader than a single monetary donation. At the same time, it remains tied to tangible items: a jersey, a fixed starting bid and a time window. This makes it clear that Elche, Betis and several players are standing together in support of Jesús de Miguel’s family.

Conclusion: Help Becomes Tangible

Elche and Betis are making a clear statement through their jersey auction. Each item starts at 50 euros, and the auction ends at 11:59 p.m. on November 9. Together with the campaign initiated by Fran Sol and the participation of players such as Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente and Álvaro Fidalgo, this creates a broad solidarity campaign for Jesús de Miguel’s family.

How much money is ultimately raised remains to be seen. What is certain is that the clubs, the players and the organized supporters are relying not only on a symbolic gesture, but on concrete donations, private contributions and an auction with clear terms and conditions.
