Dalo Bucaram, president for life and sports manager of 9 de Octubre, reappeared and demanded that the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) cancel the amounts owed to the clubs to participate in the 2022 Ecuador Cup; He also questioned the handling of the Tricolor call and the arbitration issue.
In December 2022, in an interview with EL UNIVERSO, the leader of the patriotic team revealed that Ecuafútbol owes his institution $320,000 ($200,000 for the runner-up, $100,000 for the semi-finals and $20,000 for its Copa Ecuador campaign).

When asked about the amounts owed, Bucaram stated: “The Federation does not even have money to pay its employees, and the money that is for the clubs is spent on the trips of the relatives of the managers (of the teams). re-elections. That’s why we are like this.”

“Unfortunately, as there are grateful stomachs, no one says anything in the media, but the truth is that the money for the clubs was to pay for their stay in Qatar in 2022, and that’s why they owe us to this day. This is reality,” he added in a conversation with the media before the meeting in the Pro League.

He also stated: “It is a bad administration (in the FEF, with Francisco Egas as president), because it cannot be criticized, because first they spend money on trolls to question those who tell them the truth, and also on people who express opinions to support a supposedly successful model, which is nothing more than a corrupt model, because all clubs would like to put our players in the national team so that they can sell them well.”
On the matter of refereeing in the national championship, Bucaram commented: “Roger Zambrano Alcívar (president of the National Arbitration Commission) is a man who acts honestly, but he is the useful fool of Ecuafútbol. It would be good if Zambrano, as director of CNA, investigates the senior FEF manager who won the contract for the video arbitration system (VAR) through his wife.” (D)
