Will Delcir Sonda run in Internacional’s election? Find out | OneFootball

Delcir Sonda has once again come under consideration in Internacional's political maneuvering. The businessman in the supermarket retail sector and investor in the sports industry is ending this year a six-year term on the Deliberative Council and may renew his seat.

RTI Esporte Agency has learned that Delcir Sonda is also being considered to join the Movimento Inter Grande (MIG) ticket. One possibility is his nomination as elected vice president, with a role on the Management Council in the event of a victory for the group.

The decision depends on the businessman’s availability, as he is considering moving to Porto Alegre to follow the club more closely. In 2023, for example, Delcir Sonda was part of Roberto Melo’s ticket, which was defeated by Alessandro Barcellos in the presidential election.

R$ 20 million was allocated to the club

Delcir Sonda’s move comes just days after a new financial injection into Internacional. Last week, the businessman transferred R$ 20 million to the club. The amount was used to pay outstanding salaries owed to players and for cash flow.

The deal was brokered by Roberto Melo. As a thank-you, Internacional is expected to send Delcir Sonda a jersey signed by the squad. The businessman also took part in operations that helped with the signings of Andrés D’Alessandro and Kléber.

Move to Porto Alegre is under consideration

Delcir Sonda is considering living in Porto Alegre again after a period of recovery from health problems. The move would allow him to be more present in the day-to-day life of the Giant of Beira-Rio.

This possibility may also influence his decision on whether to take part in the club’s administrative structure. An invitation from MIG has not been ruled out, but there is still no confirmation about what role he may take on.

For now, the main decision involving the businessman is the possibility of renewing his term on the Deliberative Council. Participation on a ticket and a possible appointment to the Management Council depend on the next steps in the internal negotiations.

Delcir Sonda maintains a long-standing relationship with Internacional

The businessman’s relationship with Internacional predates the club’s current political makeup. Over the years, Delcir Sonda has taken part in operations involving funds for signings and other needs of the Colorado.

Andrés D’Alessandro and Kléber had financial backing from Delcir Sonda in their arrivals. The new transfer of R$ 20 million strengthens the businessman’s relationship with the club, which is now also considering his name for possible involvement in the administration.
