Mayor Enrique Tomás Cresto was present at the weekly meeting of the Liga Concordiense de Fútbol, where the zones were drawn for the upcoming League Cup named "Estadio Único de Concordia," which will begin on the weekend of September 24. The mayor agreed with the president of the local football coordinating entity, Julio Larrocca, on a joint work agenda for the coming months.
After touring the Estadio Único de Concordia, Mayor Cresto visited the headquarters of the Liga Concordiense de Fútbol ahead of the delegates' meeting and the draw for the new local tournament.
At the beginning of the meeting, the highest authority of the sports institution, Julio Larrocca, took the floor, welcoming those present and thanking the mayor for his presence at the home of local football: “I must truly acknowledge that back in 2016, shortly after he took office as mayor of Concordia, Enrique expressed to me his desire to finish the stadium”.
“Today we had the opportunity to tour it together with the mayor and we were pleased to see the progress of the works. Furthermore, we are happy to know that the inauguration is already planned. For this reason, we want to publicly thank him, in the setting where we should do so when things are accomplished, because this is for the good of football in Concordia. That is why our second tournament will bear the name Copa Estadio Único de Concordia,” added the president.
For his part, Cresto highlighted the possibility of collaborating from the municipality with the awards and equipment for the clubs, the intention for the Liga Concordiense to participate in the administration and management of the stadium, and the clear intention to work together as a league and municipality to strengthen the pool of players.
AMONG ALL
“The important thing about all this is that the stadium we are finishing today is being done among all of us, because many institutions collaborated, and at the time, when I took office as Mayor, the first person I came to talk to was Julio Larrocca because he knew closely everything that had happened, what was done well, what was done poorly, and the truth is that we started working hard there on a project that was born here, from this League,” noted Cresto.
“Today we are in the final stretch, but above all, the important thing is what has to do with the use, management, and maintenance of the stadium and the entire premises. That the stadium has a separate administration with significant participation from the League, but more than anything from the leadership of the more than twenty clubs that the League has, so that they can also make proposals and be part of that organization,” concluded the Mayor.
