Sevilla announced on Tuesday the convening of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting for next Friday, December 4 at the Palacio de Congresos in the Andalusian capital and warned that it will have a special protocol due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The club, in a statement, specifies that depending on the evolution of the pandemic and the possible measures that, where appropriate, the health authorities adopt, the board of directors reserves the right to modify or alter the conditions of the protocol of access and permanence in order to preserve the health of its shareholders.
Among these measures, it has been decided that the shareholders' meeting, set for 3:00 p.m., should end no later than 8:30 p.m. in anticipation of limitations to mobility at night.
This appointment comes surrounded by controversy after last summer the former president José María del Nido formally requested the convening of an Extraordinary General Meeting to proceed with the renewal of the entire board of directors, including its current president, José Castro, an initiative that it sought to “professionalize the financial management of the club and promote the growth of its sports area,” as announced at the time by the 'Sevillistas Unidos 2020' collective, also a club shareholder and supporting the former president.
