The Xana Foundation was founded by Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique to honor his daughter Xana, who passed away from bone cancer in 2019. The foundation provides comprehensive assistance and support to children and young people affected by oncological diseases and other serious illnesses, as well as to their families.
