Martín Zuazquita: «We're one step away, both teams in top local leagues» | OneFootball

President Martín Zuazquita shared his thoughts on the club’s current institutional situation, its sporting moment, and the challenges they face day by day.

The festive day brought together a large crowd that showed its support for the institution’s work. “The truth is, it’s an immense joy. Today, the club lunch was a total success, with more than 550 people,” the leader highlighted, while also emphasizing the community’s support and the current moment across the different sports: “The sporting side is doing its part too, so that makes us even happier”.

As for the competitive outlook, Zuazquita offered a positive yet ambitious assessment of the main sports. “We’re just one small step away, and we have the club’s two biggest federated categories competing in the best leagues in the area,” he said.

A club with a comprehensive sports offering

While soccer and basketball are the main pillars with the biggest draw, the president reviewed the range of activities available at Alumni: “We have taekwondo, volleyball, competitive roller skating—which is also doing very well; in fact, today they’re competing in Reconquista—and artistic roller skating, which started with a group competition, so we’re very happy about that too because it will help the discipline grow”.

Regarding soccer, he recalled the team’s recent prominence after winning the Liga Esperancina a year and a half ago and competing at the highest level: “We were also very confident in soccer about achieving something important. It slipped away from us by just a little against the champion when we lost on penalties, and they proved to be the best team in the league, so we believe we’re up to that level”.

On the basketball side, the goal is to earn promotion to A1. After narrowly missing out in the first half of the year, the focus is now on the final stretch of the season: “In basketball, we just missed the A1 promotion final in the first half of the year, but we still have two promotion spots at the end of the year, and I think that’s even more important because it gives you a whole year to fight to stay in the category”.

The call for support in difficult times

To conclude, Zuazquita emphasized the effort made by the leadership and the need to maintain social support in order to face the institution’s future.

“Keep collaborating, keep supporting us, because truly, in times of crisis like the one the country is going through, it becomes very hard to maintain a club with the infrastructure Alumni has. So to the public in general and to our members, please keep supporting us, come to the club to help, and help this grow even more”
