Miguel Del Sel: “One day, as every fan dreams, Unión will be champions” | OneFootball

The second vice president of Unión, Miguel Del Sel, combined his perspective as a club executive with details about Midachi’s tour and the club’s footballing future. In a relaxed interview, the comedian and director reviewed the current sporting and institutional situation of the entity on Avenida López y Planes. He explained how he divides his time between show business and management, showing himself to be highly optimistic about the future of the Santa Fe institution.

His executive role and the dream of a star

Del Sel detailed how he adjusts to the club’s day-to-day needs without neglecting his artistic commitments. “I devote all the time I can to the club. Today I fulfill almost an ambassadorial role: I go to away stadiums, represent the board, and I feel we’re received with a different level of respect. I try to contribute so that more—and better—is said about Unión,” he said.

As for football, the executive stressed that the new signings need a logical adjustment period and asked for the public’s support for the young players taking their first steps in the top division. “We have an almost entirely new squad, with several kids making their debut. They need that settling-in time to get to know each other,” he explained. Even so, he left a statement that gives the entire red-and-white fan base hope: “Someday, just as all the supporters dream, Unión will be champions.”

Projects, youth academy, and the complex reality of basketball

On the other hand, Del Sel defended the direction taken by the board led by president Luis Spahn. He said the institution managed to put its finances in order by overcoming old legal disputes and debts, allowing for sustained investment in social and educational infrastructure. In that regard, he praised the youth academy as the real driving force behind Tatengue. “All clubs are focused on their youth divisions—there’s no other alternative. Kids like Del Blanco, Esquivel, or Machuca are the support that allows the club to keep moving forward,” he stated.

Finally, the Midachi figure turned his attention to the club’s wider sports activities and referred to the difficulties of securing Unión’s place in the top tier of Argentine basketball. “Basketball has an extremely high budget. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to maintain a competitive roster if ticket revenue and the support of the people aren’t there,” he explained, concluding that the board’s financial effort must be backed by a strong response from the public.
