Antonio Luna, Borja Bastón y Jota Peleteiro feature in an emotive video to mobilise the fans with this solidarity campaign • The players have donated the letters A, B and O from their shirts.

On occasion of the game that will be played on 6 March in Ipurua when SD Eibar will face FC Barcelona, the gunsmiths will collaborate in a joint campaign with Wiko, a smartphone manufacturer and one of the Basque club’s sponsors. This action intends to ask all armero fans to give azulgrana blood, to prove that the DNA that makes them give their all and be so devoted inside the ground is also reflected in their everyday life.

To mobilise the fans and encourage them take part in this initiative, three of the gunsmiths’ players have recorded an emotive video in which they speak of their contribution to this appeal and in which they show that Eibar runs in the blood. Antonio Luna, Borja Bastón and Jota Peleteiro have donated the letters A, B and O from their shirts (in allusion to the blood groups) and will take to the field in the game against Barça with these letters missing from their shirts.



To bring about this initiative on the day of the game, SD Eibar and Wiko have reached an agreement with the Basque Transfusion and Human Tissue Centre. This organisation will install a mobile unit on the day of the game in Unzaga Square where fans can register as blood donor volunteers. During the week following the game, donors will be contacted to inform them of the location and opening hours of the donor centre nearest to their home where they can go to make their donation.
