Given the evident and notable economic impact that the pandemic has had on the club, we reached an agreement with the first-team squad thanks to which we were able to preserve the rest of the jobs without having to resort to other measures such as an ERTE, which we wanted to avoid at all times to avoid having to subtract resources from public coffers.
In this period of time, we have considered it especially relevant to contribute our grain of sand in favor of the community through SD Eibar Fundazioa and the Customer Service Office, which, among others, has developed the following initiatives aimed at helping and also doing confinement more bearable:
–Donation of protection material (masks, divers, etc.) to nursing homes in Eibar and Ermua.
–Agreement with the Red Cross to provide tablets and internet connections to Eibar families with few economic resources so that their sons and daughters can follow classes online.

Our players will miss your encouragement in the eleven days that remain and which must serve to confirm the permanence. Among all, also with your help, even if it is from home, we will achieve it.
