Montebelluna, the mayor freezes the football club: “The merger with Treviso must not be done”

Bordin is categorical: “The club is autonomous, but all the Montebelluna football teams are the pride and identity of this city: they must remain here”

MONTEBELLUNA. Merger of Calcio Montebelluna with Treviso: a categorical “no” arrives from the mayor Bordin, who sounds like a tombstone on the projects of the two sports clubs.

“I want to clear the field of any doubts,” said the mayor Adalberto Bordin, «Montebelluna football and all its teams must remain in Montebelluna. I absolutely do not believe that the hypothesis of a merger with Treviso can be endorsed by the Administration. Calcio Montebelluna is honor, history, identity and pride of our city, the company beats in the heart of the Montebellunesi, even those who are not passionate about football ».

«I specified that the municipal administration has no power over the choices of the sport Society», Continues Bordin,« I remember that I personally wanted a Board Commission to be convened in which to discuss and deepen the theme of the future of Montebelluna Calcio. This is because it is one of the most important sports clubs in the territory and because I believe that it is the duty of each councilor to ask himself questions and reflect deeply on the issues that affect the territory and citizenship. Precisely for this reason I felt it was my duty to immediately involve the minority. Unfortunately, however, some minority municipal councilors have tried to exploit the work of the Commission, giving the impression that the mayor and the majority are in favor of the merger with Treviso.

Nothing could be more false ».

The president of Montebelluna Calcio, Alberto Cataniahe recently stated in the council committee that he will abide by the decisions

of the municipal administration but has also made it clear that, in case of opposition to the merger, he will not do

investments in Montebelluna football.

A delicate situation, therefore, heralds further developments.
