A new chapter in Eric García's career
The career of Eric García, defender for FC Barcelona, is at a peak moment. After a successful season that included winning La Liga and the Supercopa, the young footballer has been called up to represent Spain in the 2026 World Cup. This selection not only highlights his skill on the field but also his commitment to social causes.
In a touching gesture, Eric decided to visit the Barça Genuine team during his brief break between seasons. On this occasion, he brought with him a very special gift: dedicated books from Relats Solidaris, a charitable project that supports people in need through stories written by Catalan journalists. The proceeds from the sale of these books are entirely donated to charitable entities, such as the Fundació AVAN, which works with people suffering from neurological conditions.
García not only celebrates his inclusion in the national team; he also highlights that eight of his Barça teammates have been selected for the World Cup. “This speaks to the good work we are doing at the club,” said Eric, who hopes that more players can be considered by coach Luis de la Fuente. The significant presence of Barça in the selection underscores its role as a talent nursery for Spanish football.
Despite enjoying a well-deserved holiday, Eric maintains his professional focus. While other teams like Arsenal and Paris Saint Germain continue to train intensively for their European competitions, he hopes to return to Sant Joan Despí with a World Cup medal hanging around his neck. “I would sign to repeat this season,” he commented on his future expectations.
Through initiatives like Relats Solidaris and his personal commitment to charitable causes, Eric García demonstrates that athletes can have a positive impact beyond the playing field. The sale of the book is being channelled through El Corte Inglés, allowing more people to contribute to this noble cause while enjoying inspiring stories about sport.
