Road to the elections: Colón board aims to settle two major debts | OneFootball

The electoral clock has already started ticking in Colón. With the November 10 deadline passed, the five lists that will compete in the upcoming November 30 elections have been confirmed—an event that will be key for the club's institutional future.

The groups that have formalized their participation are: José Alonso, for Tradición Sabalera; Ricardo Luciani, for Sangre de Campeones; Ricardo Magdalena, with the list bearing his name; Gustavo Abraham, for Pasión Sabalera; and Carlos Trod, leading Unidad Calonista. All are already fully engaged in their campaigns, seeking the support of the members who will have to decide the club's direction during a period of sporting and economic reconstruction.

Now, the next step will be the official call for the Assembly, which, according to reports, will take place between November 20 and 21. At that meeting, the approval of the Annual Report and Balance Sheet will be addressed—an essential point to enable the electoral process—where the current leaders will also have the opportunity to account for their management and present the institution's financial status.

Meanwhile, the Board of Directors led by Víctor Godano is going through its final days in office with two major objectives to fulfill: settling debts with the professional squad and lifting the FIFA ban due to the claim from Paraguayan player Alberto Espínola.

Currently, the players are owed three months of the highest-value contracts—although payments due to the AFA are up to date—a situation the management is trying to resolve before the handover. At the same time, efforts continue to lift the international sanction, a necessary condition to be able to sign players in the next transfer window.

Thus, Colón’s political and economic landscape is as complex as it is decisive. The November 30 elections will mark the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, with urgent challenges in sports, administration, and finance. Amid this scenario, the club from the Centenario neighborhood is preparing to decide who will take the lead and how they will attempt to steer the Sabalero’s future.
