Juan Antonio Acedo, president of the Urbas company, spoke about the end of the company’s sponsorship agreement with the Basketball Fuenlabrada and on the statement issued by the latter club in which it accused them, among other things, of the existence of overdue amounts pending to be paid in excess of the 225.000 euros.
“The amounts are not correct. We have not received any notarial request for payment. No invoice has been issued by Fuenlabrada for the subscription, unless we are aware of it. The contract, in our point of view, is unfulfilled by Fuenlabrada. That did not mean that we were not going to see what solution we could look for in this regard, which was our intention, “said Acedo during the presentation of a new sponsorship, this one with the CD Leganés soccer.
“I do not understand Monday’s statement because is disruptive, is to make public something that I do not see the need. More having been to talk about the subject. The president reproached me that I could have called him and i told him i was right, but due to circumstances I literally did not have time to do it. Yesterday I was upset when they called me saying that they had made the statement, especially when you speak with a person and they do not warn you that they are going to do something twenty minutes after speaking with them, “he added.
Despite this, he assures that he has a good disposition to deal with the subject: “We have not left Fuenlabrada, there was an issue between us that they decided to make public by chance yesterday when it was announced that we were starting the sponsorship with Leganés. There is not much more to say about what the objectives of that statement were. I will try by all means to reach an agreement with Fuenlabrada in order not to harm the club and that things go as well as possible ”. “They have not made it easy for me after the statement because things are said that are not true. But I’m not going to go into evaluating them now. We’ll see if we are up to the task the president and me. I’m going to put the best possible will and all of me, ”he added.
Basketball Fuenlabrada reported this Monday through a statement that the Urbas company has decided unilaterally cease to be its sponsor, but that it will demand with “a notarial request” the payment of the “backlog pending to be paid”, as well as “important sums collected in the contract in the remaining months of validity”, until the end of the 2022/2023 season.
“Basketball Fuenlabrada SAD has recently received notification from Grupo Financiero Urbas SA in which the latter expresses its unilateral intention to end the sponsorship relationship between both entities,” explains the club. “Our club wants to publicly express its deep discomfort at this situation given that the contract signed last year extends until the end of the 2022/2023 season”, so it is “fully in force and there is no reason for terminating it. to Basketball Fuenlabrada SAD “, adds the Madrid entity.
And it states that “if it continues in this way, Urbas would cause an obvious economic damage” to the entity, “since there are amounts in arrears pending payment (more than 225,000 euros), as well as important sums collected in the contract in the remaining months of validity of the same “. “Given this, the Fuenlabrada Basketball has made a notarial request requesting the immediate payment of the amounts pending payment. In addition, we have transferred to Urbas our willingness to negotiate regarding the remaining seasons of the contract before going to court”, affirms the club.
