Fortitudo: play-in challenge at PalaDozza and capital increase in sight

Team, club and a date to be set. The present and future of Fortitudo is played on many tables, from the institutional to the gaming to the corporate one. Let's start with the current situation: the date and time of the second round match of the play in which will see Fortitudo host the PalaDozza the winner of the play-off between Pesaro e Turin. It is unlikely that it will be played on Sunday, the day on which Bologna-Juventus is also scheduled and, especially if there were to be Fortitudo-Pesaro, it is to be hoped that the two challenges will not be played at the same time (but a final rumor speaks of Sunday with tip-off at 17 pm). It all depends on when and where Pesaro-Torino will be played, with the Vitrifrigo Arena unavailable since it will be hosting the Tecnocasa convention these days.

Fortitudo may have to move the challenge to next week. What is certain is that whoever among Fortitudo, Pesaro and Torino overcomes the Caudine Forks of the play in, in the quarterfinals will face Cantù on Sunday 11th.

While waiting for the tangle of dates to unravel – the post season is off to a really bad start –, yesterday Fortitudo had a day that was important on the one hand, and interlocutory on the other, as far as the corporate aspect is concerned.

The members of Sporting Fortitudo, the parent company of the Effe world, met in front of the notary. The agreement had to be ratified and thecapital increase from 1,8 million euros to manage the expenses of the current season that the president's club Stefano Tedeschi must support. Some members have already provided for their financial commitment, the relative majority shareholder is missing from the roll call David Malaguti (33 percent) who have time to do so in the next 30 days. The case is different with regard to Peter Basciano which has long expressed the intention of a partial disengagement, divided into 2 percent of personal shares by proceeding to the relative subscription and 9 percent of those of the Sofir trust company which was not represented at the shareholders' meeting and which consequently could be reabsorbed by the shareholders who decide to take on a greater percentage of shares or, alternatively, be available to new shareholders.

Finally the team. Fortitudo is fresh from the victory in Livorno, but the mood and harmony do not seem to be the best, with latent stomach aches. The case of Deshawn Freeman with the pivot who, thanks to an alarm that didn't ring, didn't leave for Livorno with his teammates on Saturday morning and joined the team later in the day and after a poor performance on the pitch, he went to the locker room without greeting the fans only to be called back by his teammates.
