Footballer Ante Budimir's goal secures 100kg of frozen food for the needy

Croatian international Ante Budimir's goal for Osasuna against Celta has triggered a significant humanitarian donation: 100 kilograms of frozen vegetables for underprivileged individuals. This contribution is part of an ongoing initiative by the Osasuna Foundation and Verleal, a brand of Congelados de Navarra, a frozen food company.

Under their agreement, Verleal commits to donating 100 kilograms of frozen products to the Navarrese Food Bank for every goal scored by Osasuna's first team throughout the season. The Navarrese Food Bank then distributes these donations to those in need. Budimir's penalty goal in the 63rd minute of Osasuna's away match against Celta, which secured a 2-1 victory, marked the latest contribution to this cause.

This campaign fills us with pride because it shows the firm social commitment of all the institutions involved in this agreement. At the Osasuna Foundation, we remain firmly committed to helping those most in need. That is why every goal this season will have special meaning because it will go beyond the sporting framework and achieve a very positive effect on society.

The humanitarian campaign, aptly named "Nahrani golom" (Feed with a Goal), commenced on August 24 with Osasuna's 0-0 draw against Levante. The initiative's primary objective is to assist in providing basic nutrition to citizens facing vulnerable circumstances. Both the Osasuna Foundation and Verleal emphasized their shared goal of fostering solidarity, equality, and social responsibility through the unifying power of sport.

Osasuna President Luis Sabalza expressed pride in the campaign, highlighting the strong social commitment of all involved parties. He stated that each goal this season will carry special significance, extending beyond the sporting realm to create a positive societal impact. Raquel Miramón, Verleal's brand manager, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing football's capacity to mobilize society and Verleal's commitment to balanced nutrition and community solidarity.

Football has a great ability to mobilize society, and we believe that initiatives like this show our commitment to balanced and quality nutrition, as well as solidarity with society.
