As of 14.01, the telephones of the ANFP offices and that of Juan Parra, interim general manager, did not stop ringing. Chilean clubs seemed to alternate to call. The question, however, was repeated: “What about the CDF deposit?”
The Chilean soccer casts panicked. The signal of the Turner group was delayed one day in the payment of US $ 6.2 million per month, corresponding to the month of May. Under the contract, the US firm must make the payment during the first five business days of each month. This period, according to the calendar, corresponded to Friday of the last week.
After the panic, which lasted all afternoon, Sebastián Moreno sent a circular to the clubs. He explained that the fee will be paid this Tuesday by CDF: “In accordance with the above, the funds from said transfer will be available in their checking accounts on Wednesday May 13, 2020.”
This monthly payment, which includes the payment of $ 190 million for the First and $ 86 million casts of the B, is the main economic supporter of each institution. “For us, the silver of the CDF is key. It is super important, I would say that it represents the survival of the club. If CDF does not pay we will be in trouble, ”declared Luis Baquedano, from Unión Española, a few days ago. “If they do not pay, it is difficult for many clubs that will not resist without that money,” says Freddy Palma, president of Curicó Unido.
The two-day delay occurs on days of high tension between the ANFP and the Soccer Channel, due to the inactivity of the industry. And it coincides with a harsh letter sent to Sebastián Moreno on Friday, May 8, by Jorge Carey, CEO of Turner Chile, to which La Tercera had access.

In the signal that the Chilean soccer matches transmit, they do not understand the position they have taken in Quilín. They do not understand why a negotiating table was formed, composed of Victoriano Cerda (Huachipato), Mario Conca (University of Chile), Juan Tagle (Catholic University), Eduardo Olivares (San Felipe) and Felipe Muñoz (Rangers).
According to the two-page letter, to which he had access Third, the executive of the US firm is responding to a letter sent on May 4, in which he is asked to review the aspects related to the execution of the contract between both parties in order to solve any difference. The television signal accuses that he is owed matches of 2019 due to the suspension of the championship due to the social outbreak.
The surprise, however, occurs in the second paragraph of the letter. None of the members of the negotiating table was indifferent. According to Carey, Moreno had already started negotiations in December 2019 with a group of advisers. The talks lasted until the end of February, the month in which it was even possible to write a pre-agreement that had to be approved by the council of presidents, but was never submitted to club presidents.
CDF’s head did not hide its annoyance. He made it clear that he was surprised by the lack of seriousness of the ANFP, for opening a dialogue table based on an agreement on which progress had already been made. In fact, he requested a meeting for next Thursday or Friday. In the block of the rebellion they blame Moreno directly for the problem with the monthly payments and the tension with the sports chain.
Meanwhile, the cast agreed to call themselves to approve the resignation of Sebastián Moreno, this Friday (15.00), by Zoom.
