The ANFP lives times of anguish. To the political crisis that has its president Sebastián Moreno in serious problems, which today increased with the resignation of Martín Iribarne to the board of directors, now adds the complex economic situation of the entity, which suffers the consequences of the coronavirus, among others causal.
Last Wednesday, a day before the two face-to-face councils that were scheduled were suspended, the club’s helmsmen had the opportunity to learn about the ANFP’s financial statements and the 2020 budget, through a virtual meeting, led by the manager General Juan Parra. And the figures, to which he had access Third, they left the presidents very worried.
One of the reasons was that income fell 27%. As of December 31, 2018, Quilín had received $ 33,490 million. However, as of the same date last year, the box had only spent $ 24,293 million. In other words, the association stopped receiving $ 9,197 million. Too much, some managers comment.
The ANFP explained that the drop was mainly due to a lower income from commercial and television rights related to the Chilean team (- $ 13.4 billion); the friendly that was not played against Peru due to the refusal of the players, in full social outbreak (- $ 422 million) and a reduction in the rights of the Chile Cup (- $ 451 million).
Regarding liabilities, accounts payable increased to $ 3,397 million, 34% more, mainly due to an increase in debt with the MundoTour travel agency for more than 600 million pesos and to the awards for the women’s team that participated in the World Cup in France.
While administrative expenses reached $ 7,794 million. Although the item was reduced by 13% compared to 2018, the amount is considered high by club controllers. Regarding accounts payable, the result was $ 8,294 million.
The result of the exercise was a profit of just $ 38 million, which implies a reduction of almost one hundred percent compared to 2018, the year in which a profit of $ 3,331 million was achieved.
Another point that left club presidents with a headache is the budget for this year. Due to the complex scenario that the industry is going through, the ANFP had to correct the initial budget downwards: from the 27 billion pesos that the entity expected to receive, it went down to only 21 billion pesos.
The huge reduction is mainly explained by the ravages that the Covid-19 outbreak has generated in the world and, especially, in South America. In this regard, the suspension of the Copa América in Argentina and Colombia deprived Quilín of earning $ 5,330 million. This also resulted in a failure to receive $ 292 million corresponding to a Nike bond. They also stopped receiving income of $ 815 million when they did not play the playoff date for Qatar in March.
As a result of the coronavirus, the ANFP also saved some costs, such as $ 2,287 million for the failure to hold the Copa América; $ 812 million for not playing the Playoffs; $ 894 million for the suspension of youth, children’s and women’s soccer tournaments and $ 421 million for suspension of the Olympic Games and other federative costs.
In summary, considering profits and costs, the Covid-19 deprived ANFP of earning $ 2,630 million to date, which has Quilín coffers in serious trouble.
Thats not all. According to the 2020 budget, 87% of the income comes from the adult Chilean team ($ 19 billion). Of that amount, $ 11,727 million corresponds to the contract between ANFP and Chilevisión to transmit to La Roja, that is, almost 60% of the total. Here comes another headache for Moreno and the clubs, because as this medium announced, the Spanish company Mediapro, to which CHV subsidizes 80% of the rights of the agreement, is not paying CHV. In other words, the budget of the governing body of Chilean football runs a serious risk of collapse.
From Quilín they try to calm the waters with the argument that CHV has 60 days to pay the rest of the April fee of the contract with the Red, of which it owes 70%.
“The ANFP has initiated a series of actions in order to balance the flows of the 2020 budget year. Among its actions, negotiations with suppliers stand out; suspension of payment of fees, payment of insurance, investment projects, hiring or renovation of personnel, collective vacations, adjustment of personnel remuneration and anticipating operational flows of the Selection, “said Juan Parra, general manager of Quilín, to this means, medium.
The economic scenario of the association worries the clubs and also the Quilín board itself, since with these figures it becomes increasingly complex to get loans like the one already being managed with the banks.
