FC Cartagena is preparing for a transition in leadership after a tough season that saw them relegated from LaLiga Hypermotion. The club, which is now under scrutiny from its passionate fan base, is set to be taken over by new owners, including investment firm Inversiones Arrisanz S.L., helmed by businessman Pedro Arribas Marañón. This change comes after longtime concerns over financial mismanagement by prior president Francisco Belmonte and his board.

The Federation of Supporters’ Clubs of Cartagena has been vocal about the club’s dire state, urging fans to reconsider renewing their season tickets. With the club currently positioned at the bottom of the league, the supporters escalated their demands for a shift in leadership, highlighting the need for transparency and respect towards loyal fans.

The new owners have committed to modernising FC Cartagena while aiming to maintain its local heritage and avoid relocation. Their proposed agenda includes improved financial oversight and active engagement with supporter organisations to build a sustainable framework for the club’s future success, as they prepare to compete in the Primera RFEF, the Spanish third division.

While fan groups have welcomed the impending transition, they express cautious optimism. To demonstrate continued engagement, the Federation of Supporters’ Clubs is planning a demonstration on July fourteenth. As hopes for rejuvenation hang in the balance, it remains to be seen if the new administration will effectively deliver on its promises and strengthen the bond with the historic club’s loyal supporters.
