What turnout are Colón expecting from members for the new election? | OneFootball

On November 30th, Colón will elect its new leadership, and it will do so in a context that starkly reflects the pulse of the year: the number of members has dropped to less than half compared to the peak recorded at the beginning of the season.

At the start of the year, the Sabalero had reached a historic record with 29,200 members, a number that fueled hope, expectation, and marked massive support for a project that later could not be sustained on the field. As the months went by, sporting instability and the country’s economic impact took their toll. The lack of results dampened motivation, and financial strain did the rest.

Currently, the membership roll is around 14,000, a figure that highlights the steep decline in 2025: more than 15,000 people have left, a drop that explains the loss of electoral atmosphere and the disinterest now perceived in the club’s day-to-day life.

With this scenario, projections for the election are modest. It is estimated that just over 5,000 members will turn out to vote, a low number considering there will be five lists competing for the helm.

An election with such low turnout would be a warning sign for a club that, just a few months ago, had the largest membership roll in its history. But the current sporting situation ended up eroding that base, and the election will take place under the impact of a season in which Colón fell far short of its people’s expectations.

The renewal of leadership will come at a decisive moment: with a reduced membership roll, little margin for error, and the obligation to regain credibility, motivation, and a sense of belonging in order to rebuild a strong Colón from within.
