The specially designed T-shirts with the theme of individual energy as an expression through the theory of color, symbolized the entry pass for the picnic, through which Alkaloid employees and friends have donated approximately 2 million denars to date. Alkaloid AD Skopje continued its humanitarian mission at the 10th consecutive donor event, following a pause of several years due to pandemic restrictions. The humanitarian picnic was organized under the auspices of the Trajche Mukaetov Foundation, in the presence of the employees, their family members and their friends.

The players of HC Alkaloid participated in the event, adding to the humanitarian picnic with their presence.

“Today we marked a significant milestone, celebrating 10th anniversary of collective solidarity at this gathering, which has grown into a festival of humanity for all Alkaloid employees. Around three thousand of our colleagues and friends donated funds through the Trajche Mukaetov Foundation, which will be directed to SOS Children’s Village. We began a strategic partnership with this organization in 2022 with the goal of facilitating the current costs for the children under their care, providing educational support, access to professional counseling, and similar, because every child deserves a happier and more carefree childhood.”

The Director of Funds and Communications of SOS Children’s Village, Silvija Brajovikj, noted: “For the past three years we have shared a wonderful partnership with Alkaloid, which not only demonstrates their commitment as a company, but also their genuine care for the most vulnerable in our community – children without parental care. The donation marks the continuation of the 3rd year of godparenthood and support for one foster family, covering daily living expenses and the developmental needs of the children, who receive not only material support, but also love, security and a sense of belonging.”

Alkaloid’s collaboration with the Macedonian branch of SOS Children’s Village began in 2022 when one of the houses at their site in the Chento settlement was named the Becutan House, with the company covering its operational costs. In 2023, on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the Becutan brand, a percentage of sales from this children’s collection was allocated with more than 2 million denars being collected and donated for this organization. SOS Children’s Village currently cares for nearly 500 children and youth in the country, who lack parental care or are at risk of losing their parents. The organization operates on the principle of donations from individuals, companies, institutions and various forms of partnerships. Anyone can donate, and the donated funds are used exclusively for the needs of the children in care.

HC Alkaloid secured another Super League victory, dominating HC Prilep with a score of 45:23 (23:13) in the fourth round, in a match held at the Avtokomanda arena. This fourth consecutive victory propelled the team to the top of the league standing.

From the onset, HC Alkaloid took a solid lead, spearheaded by Bingo’s four goals, reaching 12:5 and then extending the advantage to 17:6 with a five-goal run, by the 20th minute. Prilep struggled with technical errors, and our goalkeeper, Marko Kizikj, made a significant impact by saving 13 shots in the first half, which ended with a score of 23:13.

The second half was largely a formality, giving coach Kiril Lazarov the opportunity to rotate the squad and give everyone some playing time. Every player who stepped on the court scored, except for defender Nikola Markoski and goalkeeper Ivan Galevski. The top scorer was Nikola Kosteski with seven goals, followed by Martin Serafimov, Igor Gjorgjiev, and Francisco Oliveira with five goals each.

Next up for HC Alkaloid is an away game against CHC Tikvesh in the Super League.

Mirza Dzomba, an icon of Croatian handball, paid a visit to HC Alkaloid in Skopje and attended the first team’s training session. His presence at the training was inspirational, and he also had brief meetings and introductions with our players.

HC Alkaloid went into a winning streak with a victory over the always formidable HC Butel Skopje, in their first away match of the season. Without much tension in the score, HC Alkaloid proved to be the stronger team tonight, securing two points.

HC Alkaloid dominated the first half of the game from almost the beginning. The home team led only until the score was 3-3; after that, both Alkaloid’s play and defense progressively improved. After several scores were tied, Alkaloid pulled ahead with a more comfortable 10-8 margin. The two-goal lead did not last long, though, as Alkaloid surged ahead 12–10, followed by a decisive 5-1 run, bringing the score to 17-12 and shifting the momentum of the game entirely.

Arnaud Bingo and Nikola Kosteski were the most effective players in this phase of the match. HC Alkaloid opened up a seven-goal advantage in the second half (20-13, 21-14, and 23-16). A brief lull, however, made it possible for the home team to narrow the deficit to 24-21, threatening a more dramatic finish.

With 10 minutes remaining, HC Alkaloid scored two consecutive goals, regaining a comfortable five-goal advantage (27-22). By the five-minute mark, the lead had increased to eight, securing the victory.

HC Alkaloid will play HC Prilep at home, in the upcoming round.
