Celebrations with schoolchildren 23 years of Cerro Largo Fútbol Club
An important social and recreational activity was carried out by the department’s professional institution within the framework of a new anniversary that it celebrated this Wednesday, November 19.
As has been done in previous years, Leaders, Coaching Staff, players, officials and collaborators gathered children from various schools in Cerro Largo to celebrate the 23 years of its foundation.
“This is what we do almost every year, invite the schools. Last year we didn’t, but when we turned 21 we toured the rural schools and did a similar activity here. As we are with those construction projects, we are quite complicated with time and we decided to do something here. We talked to Laura –Director of School 13- to take charge, she took charge and brought us 300 kids from around 16 schools. It is a party for them” he said Dr. Ernesto Dehl to THE DIARY PROFESSIONAL.
“The party has to be for the children first. The truth is that they have fun. We wanted to give them the new t-shirt from the new Tifosi brand, the company that will dress us in 2026. We made an agreement with them. It is the first time that the institution is called a sports clothing brand and gives them all the clothing as sponsorship. We are talking about approximately USD 50,000 of clothing that would be arriving in the month of December” estimated the President of Cerro Largo FC
“This is part, it is not 100% official, but it is very similar to official and of very good quality” express.
“It’s a very nice day. Having all these children here is wonderful. Besides, it caught me at a stage where I have a grandson, that changed my life, my heart softened after so many years and one already thinks about other things” he counted.
HONOR ANCESTORS
“All the teachers were working, the coach was there, the Mayor came, the sports managers came, the players were there, now Eduardo Ferro just appeared, an old leader who contributed a lot for Cerro Largo, as the founders contributed.” Dehl specified. “Here we must not forget the Cortondo, the Diez, the Zamora, the Núñez, Macaco Ubilla, Chico Huguet, so many people who have done so much for this” stood out. “Since our time has been so long, you can see more things that we have done, but of course, it seems that we were inventoried in this. We have been around for about 20 years, I am inventoried” said.
“Do you know how I honor them? People can criticize me, but I try to honor things and honor people, and how I honor them, trying to make the team and the institution stronger and stronger.” he pointed out. “It is the way to honor them, the work they did, that idea they had where they got together and formed the Cerro Largo Fútbol Club with the clubs. The only way to honor people is by doing things as best as possible and trying to project them into the future, so that tomorrow we are not here and that the next leaders honor us with the work, the dedication, the hours, so that Cerro Largo becomes bigger and bigger.” raised in the midst of the celebration of the 23 years of the department’s professional institution.
Later, he proudly stated that Cerro Largo is no longer the smallest team and has become, among those in the interior of the country, the one that has won the most. “There are the statistics, we are the team that has won the most, more than Tacuarembó, more than Deportivo Maldonado, more than Plaza, we have won more games, we have grown” projection.
SPORTS COMPLEX PROJECT
Dehl was very enthusiastic about the sports complex that is already under construction on the outskirts of the city of Melo, on national route number 8.
“We are going to spend a lot of money, I started with one room and ended up making 4 rooms, two bathrooms, and a roof terrace” he joked.
“It’s going to be beautiful. There are people who are working very well like Engineer Diego Sosa, Joselito Cuña, Zoilo Pereira’s Company that we have hired” stood out.
“A container is arriving from China with everything we need: 400 benches, weight equipment and so on. What is being done is looking very nice, with a lot of effort” he stated.
GREATER UNDERSTANDING WITH THE ASSOCIATION
“We have to understand each other better with the League once and for all” he proclaimed. “We cannot have an unlit tackle on the day of a final because for many people those games are life or death. It is nothing more than starting to talk to each other” asked the President of Cerro Largo FC
“They are two different concepts: professional and amateur, but they can coexist peacefully. We have to support each other, but they have to make us a call and we will solve it” said Ernesto Dehl in relation to the use of the electronic board at the Municipal Stadium.
