Election countdown: 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 elections on November 30—a key date for the club's institutional future—have been confirmed.

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 campaign activities, seeking the support of the members who will have to decide the club's direction during a period of sporting and economic reconstruction.

The next step will be the official call to Assembly, which, according to reports, will take place between November 20 and 21. At that meeting, the approval of the Annual Report and Financial Statement will be addressed—an essential requirement 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 in its final days of tenure, with two major objectives to fulfill: regularizing debts with the professional squad and lifting the FIFA ban due to the claim by Paraguayan player Alberto Espínola.

Currently, the players are three months behind in receiving the highest-value contracts—although payments to the AFA are up to date—a situation the board aims to resolve before the transfer of power. 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.

The political and economic landscape in Colón is thus as complex as it is decisive. The elections on November 30 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 helm and how the Sabalero future will be shaped.
