The legal situation of Cúcuta Deportivo is a ‘headache’ for Dimayor, who could now be affected by the completion of the 2020 Betplay League, already quite delayed by the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
This Thursday the presidents are summoned to a meeting in the afternoon to analyze the situation, which would prevent the realization of the scheduled match between Cúcuta and América de Cali, in Armenia, at 8:00 pm and could also impact the last day of the round all against all, this Sunday.
What would be the reason? According to Acolfutpro, the suspension of sports recognition ordered by the Ministry of Sports a few weeks ago was final this Thursday, so it could not participate in an official tournament, such as the Betplay League. Other opinions speak of this Friday as the effective date of the sanction, with which tonight’s game could be played.
“Today Mindeporte sends the letter to Dimayor and FCF notifying the suspension of recognition of Cúcuta, which is what motivates the meeting this afternoon,” explained Carlos González Puche, executive director of Acolfutpro.
According to him, the deadlines have been met: “you have 5 days to personally attend and be notified. Days have passed and (Cúcuta) was not notified. From then on, you have 5 more days for the secretary to notify the billboard of the administrative act. Yesterday those last 5 days were fulfilled, then today the notification is firm, “he explained.
Now, that matter would be resolved if it were true, as José Augusto Cadena said, the 168 million pesos of debt that Mindeportes established as a fine had been paid on time. But the proof that it was not done is that this Thursday the official notification of the suspension came to Dimayor.
And it will no longer do so because here comes the other problem: the Superintendency of Society ordered this Wednesday the judicial liquidation of the entity due to the delays in its obligations, with which Cadena can no longer act as representative of the company and must wait for The authority designates a liquidator from a long list of registered lawyers, he takes possession and, once the accounts have been reviewed, he processes the payment. How long will that take? The Superintendency is not in half the rush that Dimayor is. That is why the meeting this Thursday was summoned to make decisions.
And in the meantime, a Cúcuta vs America match is pending for 8:00 pm that nobody knows if it will be played; the footballers remain in hotels in Armenia awaiting the conclusion of the appointment of the presidents and the men of Cúcuta, at this time, are in the midst of what Puche calls “a total anarchy”, without knowing who or when will remedy the labor breaches of Cadena.
What can happen? That Cúcuta does not appear and America wins three points per W. But be careful because those who are harmed in the reclassification, who lost or tied with Cúcuta before, can claim unequal conditions and a wave of never-ending lawsuits would come. Even the teams that are outside the 8 this Sunday would have legal weapons to contest the end of the League. That is what is expected to conjure in an extraordinary assembly
“In strict law, Cúcuta today could not compete, there are clubs that do not want to play but send the team, like America; but some want to play and others who do not,” added Puche.
That is the other issue: for the decisions to be mandatory, the presidents of the 36 teams must be present, but the FUTBOLRED consultations indicate that some could be missing, which would affect the universal quorum. The issue in the union that, as has been proven many times, there is no solidarity of the body, each manager watches over their interest and it is difficult to agree on them. What will happen? It will be a long, long journey.
