  • FK Crvena zvezda and Mozzart Foundation are helping a family from Kosovo and Metohija build a new home.
  • They purchased a signed jersey from player Rade Kruniฤ‡, with proceeds going to 14-year-old Viktorija Maliฤ‡ and her foster family.
  • Viktorija visited the club's stadium, met players, and watched a match as part of the initiative.

A significant joint effort by FK Crvena zvezda and the Mozzart Foundation is laying the groundwork for a new home for young Viktorija Maliฤ‡ from Zubin Potok and her foster family. This initiative promises a brighter, safer, and more carefree future for the 14-year-old.

Following a victory in Lille, the Mozzart Foundation purchased a signed jersey from midfielder Rade Kruniฤ‡. The proceeds, in agreement with the club and the player, were donated to Viktorija and her foster family. As part of the initiative, Viktorija fulfilled a dream by visiting her favorite club's stadium, exploring the museum, and meeting the players, especially Rade Kruniฤ‡, who is highlighted as the hero of this story.

"I am happy to be part of such actions and appeal to all who are able to help. Thank you to my club and thank you to the Mozzart Foundation for helping us contribute together and provide this family with a new home. I will always gladly be a part of such initiatives," said Rade Kruniฤ‡.

โ€” Rade Kruniฤ‡The player expressed his happiness in participating in the humanitarian initiative.

Viktorija, who lives in modest conditions with her grandmother Ljubinka after her parents abandoned her at birth, experienced her first visit to Belgrade and Marakana stadium. She expressed her delight at meeting her idols and cheering them on from the stands during their convincing 5-0 victory, which capped off a memorable day.

Jelena Zrnzeviฤ‡ from the Mozzart Foundation stated, "We are very proud of another great collaboration with FK Crvena zvezda, especially these humanitarian initiatives that are not just donations but a strong message that no one is forgotten and that together we can bring hope where it is most needed. The greatest value of every player and jersey is not only what they represent on the field but also what they can change off it. That is why we are especially pleased that Rade Kruniฤ‡'s jersey has become much more than a sports souvenir โ€“ it has become part of a new beginning for the girl Viktorija and her family."

The Mozzart Foundation and FK Crvena zvezda have a history of humanitarian work, supporting sick children, families in Kosovo and Metohija, and organizations for people with disabilities. Last year alone, significant donations were made to the "Podrลพi me โ€“ 9. januar" association in Kosovska Mitrovica and the Matiฤ‡ family in Velika Hoฤa, as well as to the "Jedro" Foundation for treating a boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
