Olimpo President Issues Stark Appeal, Seeks 3,000 Paying Members to Avert Cash Crunch

Dagna says member dues must replace lost income from lower-division football.

Overview

  • Alfredo Dagna called the club’s finances “tétricos” for the next two months and said Olimpo has “less people than a cinema” paying dues.
  • He set a minimum target of 3,000 socios paying their monthly quota to stabilize operations.
  • Dagna said the monthly fee is about 20,000 pesos, arguing many fans choose to spend that amount on a beer instead of the club.
  • He rejected giveaway-driven sign-up campaigns, mocking offers like “three kilos of yerba” or “three free tanks,” and demanded concrete commitment.
  • Olimpo remains in Torneo Federal A after a November 16 elimination by Douglas Haig, and the off-season lull is compounding revenue pressure.
