Damyang County (Governor Lee Byeongno) announced on the 21st that football player Na Sangho (currently with FC Machida Zelvia) has donated a Hometown Love Donation to Damyang County.

After representing the national team at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Na transferred to FC Machida Zelvia of the J1 League in January this year and has been actively playing for the team.

Originally from Subuk-myeon, Na was the first person to make a Hometown Love Donation last year. This year, he once again generously contributed the maximum amount to support the development of the region.

Na has agreed with the purpose and necessity of the Hometown Love Donation program. In addition to donating last year, he also appeared in promotional videos as a talent volunteer, making significant contributions to promoting and activating the Hometown Love Donation program in Damyang County during its early stages.

Na stated, "It is meaningful to be able to donate the Hometown Love Donation to Damyang County again this year," and added, "I will continue to do my best to help my hometown."

At the donation ceremony held on the 20th, Na's older sister Na Mihae, who recently appeared on the SBS variety show 'Kick a Goal', was also present.

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation program allows individuals to donate up to 5 million won per year to local governments (metropolitan or basic) outside of their place of residence. Donations are fully tax-deductible up to 100,000 won, with a 16.5% tax credit for the excess amount, and donors receive return gifts worth up to 30% of their donation. Starting from January 2025, the annual donation limit will be raised to 20 million won.
