The Chilean Tennis Federation headquarters at Cerro Colorado 4661 remains occupied by barred official Milovan Kegevic amid a mounting administrative and financial crisis, biobiochile.cl reported. The facility is currently grappling with a power outage stemming from a multimillion-pesos utility debt, exposing deep internal fractures within the national sports organization.
Power Cut Exposes Facility Takeover
The operational breakdown came to light when electricity to the Las Condes property was severed over unpaid bills. According to an official statement released by the federation, the current board cannot resolve the utility crisis because the facility remains locked from the inside by Kegevic and individuals linked to his faction.
Official Recognition Versus Material Control
The governing body maintains that Juan Bugueño leads the legitimate board of directors in functions. This administration holds official recognition in the Civil Register, the Ministry of Sport, the Chilean Olympic Committee, and World Tennis, formerly known as the International Tennis Federation. The sports organization stated that the Electoral Qualification Tribunal, known as TRICEL, previously recognized Kegevic’s disqualification from the presidency, leaving no institutional basis for him to claim administrative authority or continue occupying the premises.
People Associated with Kegevic Live in Headquarters
Federation representatives acknowledged that the barred official retains the right to pursue legal action. However, the board asserted that ongoing litigation does not grant title or justification to maintain physical control of the headquarters or prevent the recognized board from taking possession. The federation added that people associated with Kegevic are currently living inside the Cerro Colorado property, utilizing spaces legally assigned to the national sports entity rather than its administrative leadership.
