Sergio Amat and his wife leave the project and a group of parents and directors launches to seek support to register the club in the First National before July 1.
Cartagena’s handball team, the CAB, needs “instant liquidity” to compete next season in the sport’s third tier: First National. The two people who have supported the club over the past decade, Sergio Amat and his wife, Sonia Busquier, have taken up 20% of the cost and have decided to step aside due to “lack of motivation to spend time and money in this continue to invest in the project”. A group of parents, led by Vice President Cristina Hernández, is looking for 3,000 euros to register the team before July 1.
The group led by Hernández plans to convene a meeting with the rest of the parents and draft a new guideline. “The municipal subsidy will not arrive until 2023 and we cannot sit still,” Hernández told LA VERDAD. FC Cartagena, which supports the project towards the cost of shirts and travel, has pledged to help seek support, the vice president said. In addition to the registration, the CAB needs “between 6,000 and 8,000 euros” to cover the rest of the season costs, mainly arbitrations.
At this point, the most immediate solution is to enroll the team, which has become permanent in the First National for the past two seasons. For this they are looking for a hundred sponsors, “small, medium and large companies”, to pay for the registration. “Frankly, I don’t think I could have done more for this club, including the latest actions to increase aid and try not to end this dream,” Amat, alma mater of the project, wrote in a suicide note.
The current vice president reminded this newspaper that the bases are made up of more than 200 boys and girls. Optimistically, Hernández believes that the children’s championship to be played at the Palacio de Deportes will help them get out of this situation.
