Guardiola was quoted by The Sun:
“The work that Open Arms does is extraordinary in helping to protect some of the most vulnerable people in society.
“So many of those who are seeking refuge continue to find themselves in unimaginably difficult situations - often suffering illness, separation from family and, in many cases, loss of life.
“Open Arms has built a framework to protect these displaced people, both in the emergency stage when they are at sea.
“But also in educating and supporting them on land. I want to do all I can to help ensure that the valuable work continues.”
Barcelona legends and former Guardiola's teammates at the Camp Nou Xavi Hernandez and Carles Puyol have both shown their support for the charity.
