At the same time that this Friday, January 2, marked the return of the professional team of the Colón Athletic Club with the help of Ezequiel Medrán, thinking about what will be the debut in the season 2026 against Deportivo Madryn at the Brigadier López, Sabaleros fans and members have been responding in a spectacular way to what was the season ticket promotion to fill the field in all home games.
The people, always the people of Colón
“There is a month or so left to start playing. On the one hand, there are almost no north and south corporate boxes left. On the other, there is already a confirmed sale of 65 percent of places that were sold in the last two seasons.
“In other words, the people’s response is impressive in every sense and is an important economic resource in the midst of this crisis, one of the worst in recent years due to how we receive the club,” they acknowledge at the Sabalera headquarters.
The Sabaleros leaders, as soon as they took office with José Alonso at the helm, decided to “bring the club closer to the people” in every sense. On the one hand, absolutely popular values and comfortable plans, even with a friend plan where up to 25 percent discount applies for the combo of four subscriptions.
The president’s first idea was “not to increase” and start facilitating payment. For example, ten percent discount for cash cancellation. At the same time, interest-free installments with different banks and cards. For retirees, special promotions too.
This combo of intelligent actions that Columbus developed generated these numbers that are amazing: The boxes are beginning to sell out and many seats have been sold.
With Colón in total crisis (the current management received the institution in default in all senses), where the leaders have already made contributions with external resources of more than a million dollars, the income from the sale of subscriptions to plaques and stalls means oxygen for an overflowing treasury.
The “Pulga” with an “extension of license”
Regarding football issues, Colón continues to arm himself. The novelty, so to speak, at the beginning of the preseason, was the decision that the Board of Directors made with Luis Miguel Rodríguez. The “Pulga”, who turned 41 on January 1, has a contract until December 2026 but will not be taken into account by Ezequiel Medrán in the sports project.
In this context, the CD notified PR10 of a “license extension” until January 15 inclusive, warning that the measure is “without disruptive intentions.” The feeling is that Colón, today focused on the fundamental issues (inhibition in FIFA, building the squad, etc.), “gains time” with this measure and avoids a major conflict.
Regarding the reinforcements category, Progress continues for Federico Lértora to be a reinforcement in 2026 and for Alan Bonansea to come to Santa Fe: Sarmiento de Junín also intends for the former “9” of the Board of Trustees.
As is known, Colón will debut at home on February 8 at 8 p.m. against Deportivo Madryn, host of the last two seasons of promotion. The yellow and black squad, now led by Cristian Díaz replacing Leandro Gracián, continues to be strengthened.
“Deportivo Madryn continues working on its reinforcements for the next season of the First National Tournament and has now completed a signing of enormous importance.”
This is the Colombian striker Mauricio Cuero, who comes from Deportivo Garcilaso of Peru and who has experience in the first division of our country, with notable spells at Olimpo de Bahía Blanca, Banfield and Independiente,” they report in the Windy City.
Colombian striker Mauricio Cuero is the ninth reinforcement of Club Deportivo Madryn with a view to the 2026 Season of the First National Tournament. The 32-year-old footballer joins the “Aurinegro” team led by Cristian Díaz, after his last experience at Deportivo Garcilaso, a team in Peru’s League 1.
Cuero, has an extensive career in South American football, Mauricio wore the shirt of Olimpo, Banfield, Independiente, Belgrano, Olimpia of Paraguay, as well as Tijuana, Atlas and Santos Laguna in Mexico.
