## Joglar Continues to lead Real Oviedo Fan Association
In a resounding display of support, the fan clubs of Real Oviedo have unanimously re-elected María Joglar as president of the Aparo, the club’s association of fan groups.The decision was made during a vote held at the Tartiere stadium press room, where numerous fans cast their ballots. This marks Joglar’s third consecutive term as president, solidifying her position as a leading figure in the club’s community.
Joglar, a computer scientist by profession, initially took the helm in 2021, becoming the first woman to ever hold the position in the Aparo’s history. She was the sole candidate for the presidency then, as she is now, demonstrating the unwavering confidence fans have in her leadership.
“I had expressed my intention to step down, but it truly seems they won’t let me go that easily,” Joglar jokingly remarked to LA NUEVA ESPAÑA after her re-election. The elections, held every three years, are a testament to the democratic spirit within the fan community.
A key factor in Joglar’s continued success is her commitment to teamwork. She emphasized that her return to the presidency was contingent on retaining her existing team of ten dedicated individuals who work tirelessly for the association. This commitment to continuity and collaboration has clearly resonated with the fan base.
The Aparo’s leadership team remains unchanged, with Jaime Campillo and Álvaro Fernández serving as vice presidents, Álvaro Iglesias as secretary, and Adrián Fernández and Adrián González as members of the board. This stability promises a continued focus on supporting Real Oviedo and fostering a vibrant fan community.
Joglar’s re-election underscores the growing presence of women in leadership roles within the world of sports. Her dedication to the Aparo and her commitment to inclusivity serve as an inspiration to fans and aspiring leaders alike.
