the (almost) impossible mission to get Ancona registered in D has begun EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

ANCONA Formalize the investiture received on Monday from the FIGC; institutionalize the procedure by giving it transparency and publicity; try until the end. Mayor Daniele Silvetti carries on, starting the (almost) impossible mission of trying to enroll Ancona in Serie D as a supernumerary – he will try with a new registration – via art. 52 Noif. The only possible way. He will be the one, as communicated to him by the federal PEC, to identify the new company which by 4 July – and then possibly formalize the registration by 8/7 – will have to decide whether to aim for the D (paying 400 thousand euros) or whether fall back on Excellence (135 thousand euros), plan B which is less attractive but certainly more affordable in terms of costs. The first act, that of the publication of the notice for expressions of interest in being part of the new ownership, took place yesterday afternoon. Kicking off the operation.

Less than a week

Times are very tight, a miracle will be needed. Potential investors will have to make themselves known by 9am on Monday 1 July, giving guarantees of all kinds. First of all, what the FIGC strictly requests. For example, the indication of the shareholders (none of these must have been part of the old company in the last 5 years); a three-year business plan which certifies possession of the organisational, capital and financial requirements to participate in the championship (a treasure of around 1 million and 500 thousand euros); an infinite series of self-certifications to guarantee maximum transparency. Until now, from C to D – with failure piloted during the championship – only Catania has been given the green light. With a large project to support and at least six months to organize it. Not just over 20 days. But Silvetti intends to play it by transmitting flames of optimism. Could he have an ace of trumps to play at the right moment? Are you hopeful that something concrete will emerge from the talks of the past few days? Or that, instead, he still doesn’t have anything “heavy” in his hands and is waiting for a development while keeping the Excellence’s plan B open so as not to make football disappear in Ancona? All questions that, inevitably, will have to be resolved by next Tuesday. The 4th of July looms and imposes absolute perfection in multiple operations.

A call from Ancona

There are also some particularities in the announcement. Availability to include a member of the administrative body in the organizational chart upon indication of the mayor; the protection of the youth sector in the case of Serie D with a specific fund of 150 thousand euros (in the case of Excellence this obligation would not exist); the availability of individuals linked to the city’s sporting tradition and history to enter the company (a Gadda, for example?); the availability to valorise the area adjacent to the Del Conero Stadium where the sports center advertised by the Tiong ownership should have been built. By the way, the procedure for the revocation of the award obtained in April 2023 has begun. Other times.

Trademarks and concessions

For its part, the Municipality will grant the trademarks (through the fans, through the Committee. They represent the greatest guarantee for protecting the sporting heritage) to the chosen club by making the Del Conero stadium, of which it owns, available, upon payment of the identified rate. The die has been cast, all that remains is to wait. But not too much.

THE REVERSE Ecological Districts will not appear among the various candidates

Less than a week to reveal yourself and provide the mayor and the municipality with expressions of interest in forming the new company. Up to now there could potentially be four groups about to put their candidacy down on paper (a couple linked to the local sphere). There will not be, net of second thoughts, the Roman green company Distritti Ecologico Spa of the Passeri family (already active in the world of sport with investments and sponsorships in various companies such as Ascoli, Spezia, Salernitana and Grosseto). The contacts of the last few days, entrusted to the former general manager of Imolese, Avellino and Casertana Aniello Martone, did not materialize – from what we understand – due to the unknown sports centre, a factor included in the tender. The investment by the Ecological Districts, which also deals with plant engineering, would have been linked mostly to this aspect but then some evaluations led to a step backwards. Also on the Lazio side, just yesterday, a pour parler between Palazzo del Popolo and a representative of an important energy company should be reported but it is too little to understand to talk about interest.
