Big problems, big solutions. This seems to be the recipe that several First Division clubs have chosen in the face of the economic crisis that is affecting Argentina in general and football in particular. The case of the hurricane can very well be taken as an example of how football can confront a complicated situation from a financial point of view and with social and cultural implications.
The leadership led by David Garzón has in the second vice president, Abel Poza, the president of amateur football, Patricia González, and the sports director, Beto Robles, the leaders of a work plan for the lower leagues that began in March last year, and begins to bear fruit.
From a crude diagnosis, Huracán understood that it was necessary to strengthen the Inferior and at the same time play a social role: launched a plan to identify and recruit talents for young people in the first two areas of the Conurbano and in the interior of the country.
The club proposes the signing of agreements for the transfer of percentages on future sales, which avoids the appearance of intermediaries and representatives. At the same time, it offers the selected children an infrastructure that has grown in recent months based on the shortcomings found: a pension with all the comforts in which 35 children live and a team of doctors, psychologists, educational psychologists and nutritionists who they strictly integrate football, by Marcelo Broggi.
Hurricane’s idea is that kids learn in Ninth, Eighth and Seventh, categories in which sporting results are absolutely secondary. The competition will come later, and for this it has started a full renovation of La Quemita manager of Poza, the property manager.

The nine football fields have had a synthetic one since March and a second one is planned for December. The changing rooms of the First Division have been renovated and everything points to the interaction between professionals and young people who are just starting. Coexistence, they argue, works as a model to follow.
The first results are starting to appear: the almost one hundred people who work in Huracán amateur football, supported entirely by the club’s budget, have contributed to the formation of projects that are already appearing in the First Division: Santiago Moya, Patricio Pizarro, Enzo Luna, Valentín Sánchez and Santiago Luján are some of the products of this re-foundation of the Parque de los Patricios entity.
Professionalism to deal with management and an amateur spirit to dedicate a lot of time to the company: this is the formula many companies bet on in times of complicated economics. The hurricane has been in existence since March last year.
