Who owns Santa Fe?
Diego Perdomo, a civil engineer linked to women’s football a few years ago, first at Atlético Huila and then in Santa Fe, He came to the club in 2020 to support it with a series of loans, through his construction company called Perlun. He now he became the majority partner of the club. How do i do it?
“Over the past year I lent Santa Fe 3 billion pesos, including interest, for the operation of the club. In the November assembly, the team approved the loan, that is, it recognized the debt, which is part of one that Santa Fe has, today on paper, of 26 billion pesos”Perdomo told EL TIEMPO.
As he explains, president Eduardo Méndez stated that the club had no way to pay him that money, unless it was with the money that the team will receive for its participation in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores (3 million dollars). The problem is that the team has that money to guarantee its operation.
This is how the proposal arose, from the cardinal’s presidency, that those 3 billion pesos owed to Perdomo be capitalized in shares. Perdomo accepts, but not only that, he also assumes the club’s debt. He assures that today he was left with more than 50 percent of the shares of Santa Fe, being the majority shareholder.
Diego Perdomo has been the sports director of the Santa Fe women’s team since 2020. Now he has the highest economic percentage of the club.
