Just a year ago, last summer, the Costa Brava Sports Union began a much shorter adventure than expected. New name, change of scenery, brand new shield. The old UE Llagostera was leaving the village. At first he had to do it in L’Estartit, but he was halfway there: at the beginning, he would play in Palamós. Then it would be seen. Twelve months later, there is almost nothing left of that. The countdown has begun for his disappearance. Isabel Tarragó and Oriol Alsina, still the owners, will sell all their shares. Now yes, definitely. Nothing to say and then not to do, like a few months ago, when it seemed that businessman Carlos Sanchez had to become the new owner. Yes, the Barcelonan got his head around it: putting money, making and unmaking. But the sale never materialized, so changing hands, at the time of the truth, nothing at all. Bye now. In a matter of days, the Barça entity will be history. Neither Costa Brava, nor Llagostera. Nothing. CF Badalona will acquire a majority stake. From initial conversations to action. All the machinery is already up and running and the sale will be completed soon.
They are not rumors, information coming and going. It is a confirmed fact. Miguel Ángel Sánchez, president of the scapular club, explained this yesterday during the information assembly that was held at the Municipal Stadium and was attended by a hundred members, waiting to know the immediate future of his organization “The legal services are still working and we hope to give the news about the purchase of the Costa Brava next week.” First confirmation, before corroborating that, with this operation, the Barça club would “disappear”. It will be the point and end for a reference of the Girona demarcation. No longer for his most recent stage, with a step to forget this year in the First RFEF, but for the successes of a Llagostera that came to compete two years in a row in the Second Division A (from 2014 to 2015). This does not mean, however, that Oriol Alsina forgets about it forever and goes on to dedicate himself only to his private business.
What will this change of hands entail? The Costa Brava, bought by Badalona, will compete in the Second RFEF and will do so with a name that is yet to be decided. Two options are valued: Badalona Futur or Badalona 1903. At the same time, the current CF Badalona (which will be coached if nothing changes by Santi Alvarez, so far at the helm of the youth) will remain in place and play a category below after having downloaded a few months ago. As there is no more room for maneuver, it will not be until next year (summer 2023) that both sports limited companies will end up merging so that only one club remains, in this case the historic one, which will remain playing. in the highest division. For now, the plan for this course is that the renewed Badalona, which comes out of the purchase of the Costa Brava, play in the Municipal scapular, do it in the Second RFEF and be trained, possibly, by Oriol Alsina. He is one of the candidates but not the only one.
If all goes well as planned, the string of teams will be important. The Costa Brava has already informed the Catalan Football Federation that it is resigning from the position that its subsidiary should occupy in Segona Catalana. One more step that corroborates his imminent disappearance. This gap would be filled by Juventus of Lloret de Mar, until now in Tercera Catalana. Jump of category that, if it ends up taking place, will bring about another change because who also will go up is the branch of the Bescanó, from Fourth to Third Catalan.
