“Freemasonry based in the Canary Islands joins UD Las Palmas, for sure.” The previous phrase is from a Canarian Mason, the veteran Francisco Fernandez, a learned expert and member for many decades of that association on the islands. He bet on the yellow win of UD Las Palmas against the match of LaLiga EA Sports to be held this Saturday against Real Madrid at the Gran Canaria Stadium. Fernández told Mundo Deportivo that the UD Las Palmas “It’s a team already represent the values of FreemasonryGarcía Pimienta already said staying at First is a matter of pick and shovelsuch as equality, justice and unity, and that This is the best definition of the great quarry of the Canarian team“.
On the other hand, when consulting the Grand Lodge of Spain in the Canary Islands, a philanthropic association which, contrary to what is commonly thought, is characterized by discretion and non-secrecy, He refused to issue an official “warning”. When it comes to football, the low profile goes to another dimension and Francisco Fernández, a historic member of Freemasonry in the islands, clearly says: “the Canaries, Before this match with Real Madrid, we see everything in yellow“. The islands The Canary Islands, along with Catalonia, are the southern EU territories where most Masons are ‘registered’according to official sources, to which we must add those who sleep and those who use unofficial rituals of great influence on the islands and Catalonia due to trade and tourism with the rest of the world.
The Football’s association with Freemasonry dates back to 1863, when the Football Association was formed in the Freemasons Tavern, London, now the New Connaught Rooms, next to the Freemasons’ Hall. There are several Masonic lodges named after their famous teams: Anfield Lodge, No. 2215, Everton Lodge No. 823 and, more recently, Football Lodge No. 9921.
The elegant light blue of Manchester City. There have been legends about colors for a long time, or rather, the colors of Manchester City FC of the English Premier League. In 1894, the club went through a financial crisis and was saved by the masons, who requested that the team wear Masonic blue colors instead. But there is more: the Newcastle United had the support of lodges such as Progress No.5783 providing support to find sponsors in difficult times.
Is there talk of Canarian football at parties? Fernández, emphasizes that “these things are not discussed, I have never seen them, but their values are, and The very work of UD Las Palmas in the quarry is that, the creation of a school for good citizens“he maintains Francisco Fernández, member of one of the oldest Masonic lodges in the Canary Islandswho added “put it on a personal basis so sparks don’t fly” which “here in the Canary Islands, even people from Real Madrid, this weekend are from UD Las Palmas and when CD Tenerife is in the First Division, which it will be, the brotherhood will be absolute in Tenerife above all, as we all push the yellow colors.”
Support for the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Gran Canaria. Fernández pointed out that “not only at UD Las Palmas or CD Tenerife, We are pushing for Gran Canaria to host the 2030 World Cup of FIFA under Spain’s candidacy” since “The values of FIFA and the UN represent usFernández said.
The fight UD Las Palmas against Real Madrid “and the VAR”adds Fernández, represents “the spirit of what we want in society”, and UD Las Palmas is that: “unity from below, from the effort, the yellow quarry is very similar to what we doto train, in a permanent process of improvement, great men, a training that must return to society through integrity, and that’s just football“.
Masons in the yellow locker room. Francisco Fernández, who makes sure that he does not have an internal rank, remembers that in UD Las Palmas had Masonic players“I suppose that with the young people there are now it doesn’t even cross their minds, but In the past, I was already a veteran, I enjoyed sharing experiences with players from the yellow team to first team professionalsI do not mention the name of one of these that comes to mind out of respect and because of the memoirs he wrote he mentions it subtly, though We never talk about sports not inside or outside, they are things of respect“.
Las Palmas was the first provincial capital of Spain to be recognized by a plenary agreement in 2016, the honor of Spanish Freemasonry and its members and declared a friendly city for this kind of postulates. The Grand Lodge of Spain had the recently deceased former Minister of Sports, Jerónimo Saavedra. This 2024, the leader of the Canary Islands PSOE and Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Angel Victor Torressaid that In educational centers it is necessary to do pedagogy work and training for “young people to see what Freemasonry really is, which many want to demonize,” he added.
Real Betis. In Spain and former high officials of the PSOE of Seville, Emilio Carrillodefends the following thesis: the green and white shield of Real Betis highlights that it is “a sporting institution that is a reference for Freemasonry.”
In Carrillo’s opinion, the 13 bars of the shield remind us that “it is the most important number for freemasonry“. That Betic shield “represents change and transmutation, access to wisdom and knowledge of the mysteries through alchemy, death and inner rebirthhence it is often associated with the figure of the Phoenix rising from his ashes.”
