Two years later, the “Oliveira dos cen anos” is now part of the club’s history, attracting the attention of international media such as the New York Times, Billboard magazine, and The Guardian. The next step? “No puede ser más de aquí” (It Can’t Be More From Here) campaign, which revolves around Galician roots and identity and won the Paraugas and Mestre Mateo Awards; cultural activities with Galician artists before the match, such as Fillas de Cassandra and Abraham Cupeiro; film documentaries linked to the traditions of our land, such as “El Color del Carnaval”. Celta’s commitment to communication based on Galician roots and identity continues.
