| On July 9, 2019, Queen Letizia attended a meeting of the Council of the Royal Board on Disability and presented the "Queen Letizia 2018 Awards" at Corral de Comedias Theatre in Ciudad Real. This year's awardees were AMÁS Social Foundation, Almagro Classic International Theater Festival Foundation and director Javier Fesser with the film Champions (Campeones). The film tells the story of a basketball coach who is sentenced to community service and is forced to work with a team of mentally disabled players. The film is inspired by Aderes team in Burjassot (Valencia), a team consisting of people with mental disabilities that won twelve championships in Spain between 1999 and 2014.
