The tension that surrounds the Lakua Sports Club has already transferred to the soccer field. Players from different categories have shown this Saturday, day … in which the competition returned, his discomfort due to the economic and sporting situation that the entity is suffering. Before the start of the different games, mainly school matches, some kids have displayed banners with messages such as “board of directors resign” and “presi, resign.” Likewise, they have also refused to play the first minute of the match as a sign of protest. A demand that they have made even more evident by all the players kneeling on the ground after the referee indicated the start of the match.
These protests come a day after the tense meeting held between the Board of Directors and the families of the 800 kids who make up the Lakua structure. The meeting, which required police presence to avoid possible altercations, showed the abysmal difference that exists between both parties. The parents demanded the resignation of the president and he, in turn, promised to present an economic report, as the families requested, to try to calm the schism. The club, joined by Athletic, has a debt of close to 100,000 euros and is suffering from the departure of some coaches.
Sources from the board indicated that of the 684 families in the club, 420 owe one or two fees, which are often paid in three installments and amount to 450 euros in federated football and 420 in school football. The families, for their part, attribute this situation to the poor economic management of the current board of directors and the “critical” situation of Lakua. In parallel, the Alava Provincial Council, which met with the Lakua leadership on December 30, will commission an audit of the Vitorian team to review the movements and reveal if any anomaly has occurred, as EL CORREO announced this Friday.
