On a day like today, June 6, 1996, the Ardila Lülle Organization announced the purchase of Atlético Nacional, one of the most important clubs in Colombia. Within these 25 years, there are many twists and turns where the purslane team has been, what is certain is that of the 29 titles that the club has accumulated in its 74 years of history, under the command of the OAL, 21 arrived. no less data.
After 25 years, this economic group has had more good than bad with Nacional, perhaps the hardest times were those sections from 1999 to 2005, where they reached five finals, three local and two international, where they could only get one title. Already in 2005 the eighth star arrived, in 2007 the Colombian two-time championship and then a period of stagnation until 2011 when the purslane team lived its best sporting season, achieving between one and two titles per year until 2018, when the sporting slump returned.
With supporters and detractors, the truth is that Atlético Nacional, in the midst of how irregular Colombian football is, has been able to make a difference in its men’s teams, in the feminine they are in that process of consolidation and as the nature of these latitudes, be a club that can sell between one and two players per season to maintain that balance.
Given that they can continue for a longer time, that union with the economic group has been very good considering all the years that have passed. The important thing is that they can return to that sporting north, where profits rose according to the Olympic rounds. Because, although football is a bank of feelings, it is also a business.
