This week, the World Confederation of FC Barcelona Supporters’ Clubs participated in the XX Seminar of Presidents of Supporters’ Clubs’ Federations of Aficiones Unidas, which took place in Madrid. During three days, the event brought together the presidents of the 36 federations of supporters’ clubs of 1st and 2nd division Spanish football teams, including Antoni Guil, president of the World Confederation of Supporters’ Clubs and also vice-president of Aficiones Unidas.
Strategic Plan 2023-2026
The seminar, headed by Jorge Guerrero, president of Aficiones Unidas, presented the organization’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026. The security of the fans in the stadiums continues to be a key issue, as well as the organization of congresses and events throughout the year to promote the meeting between supporters. On the other hand, one of the innovations was the presentation of an app for all supporters’ clubs’ federations that allows them to manage tickets, travel and other promotions for supporters.
Among other questions, the seminar also discussed the communication plan of Aficiones Unidas and aspects related to its internal organization. Other subjects were the international action, with the incorporation of an external agent, as well as the relationship with the non-professional categories of Spanish football (1st and 2nd RFEF). Social and solidarity actions, together with other future projects, completed the contents.
On the other hand, it is worth mentioning the participation in the seminar of two representatives of La Liga, with which Aficiones Unidas maintains a continuous collaboration.
Voting for the 2025 Congress
During the event, the organizer of the 2025 National Congress of Supporters Clubs was chosen by vote. The winner was the Federación de Peñas of CD Castellón, which won over the Federación de Peñas of CD Tenerife. This year, the congress will take place in Cartagena, while in 2024 it will be in Cadiz. Once again, the seminar reflected the harmony between supporters that Aficiones Unidas promotes, and which is shared by the Confederació Mundial de Penyes.
