Latacunga Mayor revokes stadium administration agreement

Latacunga Mayor Fabricio Tinajero has revoked the use and administration agreement for the San Felipe Stadium and Coliseum, previously held by the Eloy Alfaro Neighborhood Sports League. The municipality stated the decision aims to protect public heritage and ensure sports facilities serve the collective interest of the city's 217,000 residents.

The administration noted that the facilities, donated in 1978, were being used for political proselytism. Despite facing threats of violence and intimidation, the municipal government reaffirmed its commitment to community sports, guaranteeing that clubs within the league will continue to have access to the venues for their activities.
