Bancamiga, always supporting Venezuelan sports, celebrates with him and all of our football.

Real Sociedad defeated Atlético de Madrid 4-3 on penalties in the final of the tournament, after a 2-2 draw in regulation and extra time. Aramburu played 113 of the 120 minutes of the match at La Cartuja stadium in Seville, giving his all in the victory for the club his father supports. He filled his family and all of Venezuela with pride.

‘El Búfalo’ (The Buffalo), as he was known, was also playing his 100th match in the Real Sociedad jersey.

“We always work to make Venezuela proud. I love my country,” Aramburu told Meridiano TV after celebrating the title wrapped in the national flag.

“My dad was born in San Sebastián,” the city of Real Sociedad, and “this is a dream come true for me,” continued the Venezuelan right-back, who joined the Basque club in 2024, after turning professional with Deportivo La Guaira in the FUTVE League and beginning his career in Spain with Real Unión.

“It’s a day I’ll never forget,” he said, his voice filled with joy.

It was a final brimming with emotion from the very first minute, with fans of both teams on the edge of their seats.

Just 15 seconds into the game, in the fastest goal ever scored in a Copa del Rey final, Ander Barrenetxea headed home a cross from Gonçalo Guedes to give Real Sociedad, coached by American Pellegrino Matarazzo, the lead.

Ademola Lookman equalized for Atlético Madrid in the 17th minute, but Mikel Oyarzabal converted a penalty just before halftime, in the 45+1 minute, to restore the advantage for Aramburu and his team.

In the 83rd minute, Argentine Julián Álvarez scored for Atlético, sending the match to extra time.

Goalkeeper Unai Marrero was the hero in the penalty shootout, saving shots from Alexander Sørloth and Álvarez.

A Vinotinto embrace

Aramburu gave it his all. “I had cramps and I held on as long as I could, but I couldn’t even walk anymore,” he said about leaving the field. “We suffered, because we knew the final was going to be tough, but we are the champions!” he concluded with a smile.

His teammate Yangel Herrera didn’t play, as he continues to battle recurring injuries, but he was part of the picture.

“Winning the Copa del Rey means so much. It’s been a very difficult year for me, and winning my first title in Europe has been incredible,” Herrera told Meridiano TV. “I hope it’s not the last.”

The emotional embrace between Aramburu and Herrera after the victory was the embrace of all of Venezuela. There is talent in our football. If you stumble, you simply have to get back up.

La entrada Bancamiga ambassador Jon Aramburu, on winning the Copa del Rey: “We always work to make Venezuela proud” apareció primero en Bitfinance.

With motivating maturity and a poise that inspires respect on and off the field, Jon Aramburu, Venezuelan full-back and Bancamiga ambassador, has established himself as a leader of the new Vinotinto team. His words resonate like an echo of a silent but powerful leadership: “This is the golden opportunity we’ve always hoped for,” and today he opens his heart to share what it means to wear the Vinotinto jersey at this crucial moment in our football history.

Just months away from two matches that could mark a turning point for Venezuela on its road to the 2026 World Cup, Aramburu acknowledges that “preparation is now individual, but everything is mental. We know what’s at stake.” Beyond the physical aspect, Jon represents the new mentality of the Venezuelan footballer who stands up to any opponent without hesitation. “Today we believe we are no less than anyone, and that changes everything.”

The evolution of the Venezuelan footballer in recent years reflects a more holistic development: it’s no longer just about innate talent, which has always existed, but rather a stronger mental structure and competitive discipline that is trained just like the physical.

“Football is a bit of everything: it’s talent and discipline, but above all, it’s mental. I think in that sense, the Venezuelan player has grown over the years, because there has always been talent in this country,” he asserts.

Qualifying for the 2026 World Cup requires more than enthusiasm; it requires impeccable tactical execution, emotional intelligence, and continuity in the game. For Aramburu, in the matches against Argentina and Colombia in September, “we have to be focused, united as a team, and stick to the plan. There will be a lot of nerves because we know what we’re playing for, but we must always stick to the plan,” because qualifiers are won with strategy, but also with conviction and cohesion.

Jon embodies the values ​​of hard work, discipline, humility, and a winning mentality

Beyond his tactical solidity and international reach, Jon has become a source of inspiration for young Venezuelans. His story is proof that talent flourishes when it is nurtured with constant work, discipline, and self-belief, reminding us that there are no limits to our dreams and that success isn’t born from perfection, but from the courage to move forward even in fear.

“On the day of my debut against Mexico, I already knew I’d be a starter, and I didn’t sleep that night. I was nervous because if I didn’t rest, I knew I wouldn’t perform. At 4 a.m., I called my dad to ask what to do, and he said, ‘Stay calm, everything’s fine, it’s just game nerves.’ I felt this was my chance and I couldn’t fail.”

On this road to the 2026 World Cup, the support of the fans isn’t just important; it’s vital. As Aramburu puts it, playing at home in a packed stadium like Maturín injects energy, elevates the team’s spirit, and becomes that drive that often makes the difference between perseverance and victory. In every cry beats the same dream shared by millions of Venezuelans.

For Bancamiga, its role as ambassador represents a bridge between football and the country that aspires to grow. Having Jon on board is a true commitment to the values ​​he embodies: hard work, discipline, humility, and a winning mentality. The pride of accompanying him, of being part of the drive that is propelling him and an entire country toward a World Cup, is shared by all who believe that sport can transform realities.

In the upcoming matches, we expect to see a tactically disciplined and physically dominant Jon, using his defensive strength to contain demanding opponents and his offensive vision to drive the team forward. His ability to read the game’s moments, close spaces, and expand the team makes him a valuable asset. But beyond the technical aspects, his presence sends a message: that Venezuelan soccer is ready, not only through talent, but through preparation. And that makes the difference.

“I am pleased that at 22 years old Bancamiga has selected me as its ambassador and to accompany other outstanding figures who are an example for the country.
