Real Madrid defender, Antonio Rudiger, is currently spearheading a significant donation effort for Berlin’s homeless, as noted by Marca and the BILD. Rudiger contributed approximately 1,700 items like shirts, pants, hoodies, and sneakers from the renowned brand, Under Armour.

Since his move from Chelsea to Real Madrid in 2022, Antonio Rudiger has been a key figure in the squad for two seasons. Recognized as a top defender globally, he’s praised for his aggressive play, tackling skills, and aerial dominance. Earning a substantial £238,000 weekly at Los Blancos, totaling £12,376,000 annually, Rudiger frequently channels these earnings into charitable endeavors, particularly in Sierra Leone, a country with which he has familial ties.

The former Roma defender recently displayed his off-field solidarity by generously donating a substantial amount of money to support Berlin’s homeless population. The 30-year-old actively collaborated with Berliner Stadtmission, an NGO, contributing over 1,700 winter garments for those unable to afford them amid the harsh -10°C temperatures in the German capital. Most of these garments were provided by Under Armour, Rudiger’s sponsor.

Antonio Rudiger donated his entire FIFA World Cup earnings to children in Sierra Leone

Following the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, German defender Antonio Rudiger gave away his entire earnings from the tournament to finance crucial surgeries for children in Sierra Leone. Rudiger’s ties to Sierra Leone come from his mother, Lily, who hails from the country and later moved to Germany.

Since establishing ‘The Antonio Rudiger Foundation For Sierra Leone’ in January 2022, the Real Madrid defender has been consistently supporting activities and medical treatments for disadvantaged children in the country.

Further, Rudiger’s efforts to donate money for the surgeries were prompted by the prevalent congenital clubfoot issue in the country, requiring surgeries and costly procedures for treatment. He has also expressed keen interest in initiating further projects in Sierra Leone.
