José David Jiménez, a lawyer and candidate for the presidency of the Club Sport Emelec, revealed in a recent interview that the famous team, known as 'El Bombillo', is currently receiving no income from television rights. This revenue source is critical for the financial stability of all Ecuadorian clubs, and Jiménez emphasized the importance of addressing this issue for the well-being of the club's finances.

Jiménez pointed out that the root cause of Emelec's financial woes stems from several creditors who have initiated coercive processes against the club. He highlighted the lingering instability caused by previous management, which has led to a lack of confidence among sponsors and various creditors. The atmosphere of uncertainty makes it difficult for the club to secure essential funding and partnerships that are necessary for its operational success.

To mitigate these challenges, Jiménez calls for the required quorum during the upcoming elections, stressing the urgency of defining the club's institutional situation. He believes that although commercial partners have faith in the current board, their confidence in the club as a whole is wavering due to how it has been handled in recent times. Without a strong institutional framework, Emelec may continue to struggle financially, which could impact its performance in domestic and international competitions.
