Real Sociedad also joins the 'Coronavida' challenge, which was started at Betis by former Realist Sergio Canales and who also supports Valencia. It is an initiative with which it is intended that the different First Division clubs support social groups that help people with problems to overcome the health alert for the coronavirus. In the case of the realistic team, it is their captain, Asier Illarramendi, who has taken the singing voice. “The players also joined this challenge to give support in our case to the Hurkoa foundation,” says the midfielder from Mutrikuarra.
Hurkoa is a foundation that deals with the care, defense and guardianship of the elderly or people with some type of illness in a situation of fragility, dependency or lack of protection in the province of Gipuzkoa. “In the situation in which we find ourselves, the most vulnerable are the elderly. That is why we want to collaborate with this foundation. Thanks to them, this league was won by all of us”, adds the central besaindarra Aritz Elustondo. Because Hurkoa is also helping those elderly people with difficulties at home, each year they serve more than 500 people in a supervised manner and 150 in its center. It has 63 professionals and 140 volunteers with whom they carry out their activity.
Under the motto “This league we all win”, the rest of the first team players join the cause of the 'Coronavida' challenge. Januzaj, Willian José, Zaldua, Le Normand, Zubeldia, Portu, Aihen Muñoz, Guevara, Oyarzabal, David Zurutuza, Andoni Gorosabel, Diego Llórente, Alex Remiro, Luca Sangalli and Martin Ødegaard appear in the video with which the Donostiarra club joins to this challenge, which consists of all the First-tier clubs joining, being nominated among them. The Real has had to nominate Alaves, who will support the cause through its captain, goalkeeper Pacheco.
