(Nota destinada para el Esto) El Grupo Pegaso se decidió a extender sus inversiones al futbol chileno a través de alianzas con clubes nacionales, en desmedro de Perú y Argentina, informa el diario Las Ultimas Noticias. Así lo confirmo Jose Antonio Garcia, uno de los principales directivos del holding mexicano y presidente del Atlante. Aseguro que esta decisión se debe a las condiciones económicas de Chile y a que el futbolista nacional se adapta estupendamente al futbol Azteca. Hemos tenido muy buenas experiencias con los chilenos y ahí están los casos de Sebastian González, Ignacio Quinteros, el Chamagol y otros que llevan mas tiempo, como Reinaldo Navia, el Pony Ruiz y Fabián Estay. Los directivos de Pegaso tienen la idea de invertir directamente en un club chileno para promover jugadores chilenos en México y también traer futbolistas mexicanos a Chile. Para este proyecto se cuenta con la asesoría de la empresa chilena Mercom. Por ultimo Garcia afirmo que existe un gran interés por adquirir los servicios del medio campista David Henriquez (Colo Colo) y el delantero Jose Luis Villanueva (Palestino).
Negocio redondo Me parece muy bien. Aunque la pregunta mas importante es cuantos mexicanos pueden jugar en chile? serian considerados extrangeros. Maximo 3 a 5 jugadores dependiendo si compran un club de primera o primera B. El negocio esta en vetar los jovenes. Invertir en la formacion y si salen dos o tres por ano que puedan o enviar al Atlante o vender en mexico la inversion sale positiva. Ahora imaginate si venden uno o dos a algun club europeo. Uno que vendan, pagan por 40 formado! Es importante que companias como Pegaso inviertan en Chile. Ojala que mas se unan a la causa y asi empezar a mejorar la infrastructura del futbol chileno lo cual casi no exsiste.
Re: Negocio redondo I think that the reason for it is because Chilean players adapt so well to the Mexican league that Pegaso thinks they can send young mexican players to Chile and develop them there. I think it would be a smart move to send young mexican players to Chile and take them back to Mexico when they're ready. Im only guessing that this is their plan. I bet nothing happens in this category. They see that Chilean players do very well in Mexico (and their price is cheap) so they want to make good deals and bring in players to Mexico.
es e cominezo de una globalizacion del futbol Los europeos montan academias en central y suramerica, los de morelia se unen a al Fire de chicago, la chivas de guadalajara se asocian con MLS, las aguilas de coapa siguen...... pagaso/atlante invierte en chile boca Jrs abre academia en la china.... el independiente medellin invierte en equipo Uruguayo, para intercambio de jugadores jovenes. que bien, todos ganamos! veremos mejor futbol y pronto.
Garcia del atlante se Mueve en Chile Independiente de esos planes, García confirmó que existe interés por llevar a México a los jugadores David Henríquez, de Colo Colo, y José Luis Villanueva, de Palestino, a quienes aprovechará de observar en esta visita tambien dicen que el club que los de Pegaso pueden gerenciar en chile esta entre Deportes antofagasta Y Temuco
what are the teams of the chilean tournament and where are they from? I know: colo colo = santiago u catolica = santiago cobreloa = calama what other teams are there and where are they from?
First division teams Audax Italiano - Santiago Colo-Colo - Santiago Cobresal - El Salvador Cobreloa - Calama Coquimbo - La Serena Huachipato - Talcahuano Palestino - Santiago Puerto Montt - Puerto Montt Rangers - Rancagua Temuco - Temuco Santiago Wanderers - Valparaiso Universidad de Concepción - Concepcion Universidad Católica - Santiago Universidad de Chile - Santiago Unión Española - Santiago Unión San Felipe - San Felipe
Re: First division teams Wow, so many teams from santiago, do they all have their own soccer specific stadium? what are the capacities of all this stadiums? Are santiago and conception the only metro areas with more than 1 million people in chile?
Re: Re: First division teams No, only Colo-Colo, Catolica, Union Espanola and Palestino have their own stadium... if I'm not missing any. I have no idea about the capacities, I know that Colo-Colo's is the biggest (bigger than the national stadium which belongs to no team and has 45,000 capacity), Catolica's is rather small and so are the rest. Santiago has over 7 million people, by far the biggest city and then Concepcion comes in size. Chile is full of small cities.
I thought the two most popular teams in chile were colo colo/u.catolica but then again I'm not sure. Is there anybody from chile who can correct me? And what's the colombian derby? millionarios - santa fe??
The biggest teams in Chile are Colo-Colo, U de Chile and Catolica. The university derby is Catolica vs. U de Chile, but games between any of these three are a huge deal.
what is the biggest derby: colo colo/catolica or colo colo/u.chile? or who has the most fans after colo colo, catolica or u.chile?
I read somewhere a while back that provincial Club Deportivo Ovalle upset some big Chilean Club. What division is Ovalle playing in? Any info on the city and its club?
Ovalle and biggest clubs in Chile Ovalle is a small city in Chile's northern part (4th region) known for it perfect weather valleys and agricultural products including wine and pisco!!. It has had some glorious days back in the 70 and 80's. I was not aware of the upset, but I believe they play in 1 B which is our second division league. The biggest clubs (most popular) are Colo-Colo, la U de Chile and Catolica. (all in Santiago) Of course, then you have Cobreloa that it is always on the top winning championships and doing well on Copa Libertadores. Then you have a second tier of popular teams that have a good following: Wanderers in Valparaiso, Union Espanola in Santiago and Universidad de COncepcion in Concepcion are other big ones. A team that will do well again is Everton in Vina del Mar they won the second division and automatically go to first division.
Thanks for the information on Ovalle Chile and also futbol in Chile. As long as Chile is not playing against Mexico I cheer for them in International tournaments such as the Copa America and the World Cup. If memory serves me correct I believe that Mexico lost to U de Catolica in the build up to WC 1998. I would love to see Ovalle in the 1st division. Any links where I could find out more info on the team and city? Anyway possible to purchase a team kit over the Internet? I have searched with no successful results.
First of all a few "clarifications"..... Ovalle has never had a good soccer team....they are currently playing in either second or third division....I don't even remember them playing in first division....they probably did a long time ago. Anyway....the reason you heard that Ovalle was making noise and they were able to upset some teams...is that in Chile they play different tournaments, and one of them used to be Copa Chile (not sure if they still play it), but it is a tournament were first and second division teams play.....SO.....to make the story short...Ovalle defeated some big shots (U. Catolica and Colo Colo...I think)....and that's why they made all that noise....but it was just that...NOISE. Talking about Stadiums.... Biggest Stadium in CHILE: ESTADIO NACIONAL (AKA the big elephant)....it's owned by the "national association of sports"....something like that....They have a huge complex that includes Tennis Courts, Swimming pools, etc, etc, etc….The complex was “remodeled” for the 1962 world cup hosted by Chile….anyway…the stadium holds approximately 70,000…..80,000 when it is FULLY loaded (What I mean by that is that people actually can sit on the stairs…REMEMBER security is “different” in South America) Second to the National Stadium is “el Monumental” Colo Colo’s stadium…about 45,000 people. Third is the “Santa Laura”….U. Española’s stadium….about 35,000 Then comes “San Carlos de Apoquindo”….U. Catolica….about 25,000 The rest of the stadiums are “small” to “extra-small”…. If you want to find out more about this....just ask.
