Deportivo and fan federations seal pact to revive Marathón Inferior
RC Deportivo announced that after a meeting on Friday 28 August with representatives of the various fan groups, a framework collaboration agreement was reached. The pact aims to restore a climate of trust and unity, reinforce the ABANCA‑RIAZOR atmosphere and work jointly for the benefit of deportivismo, with the Federación and Peñas fully involved.
Framework agreement aims to rebuild trust
The understanding allows the needs voiced by the fan collectives to be balanced against the club’s legal, organisational and security obligations as the match organiser. It explicitly recognises that the supporters play an essential role in the stadium’s identity and ambience. The agreement also references the backdrop of the El fondo marathón inferior during the Deportivo‑Zaragoza encounter.
Commitments focus on safety and stadium atmosphere
Both parties share the objective of preserving Marathón Inferior as a principal animation space within a framework of coexistence, respect and responsibility. Reciprocal commitments have been set to facilitate the functioning of the stand and to prevent any conduct that could damage the club, its supporters or the broader deportivismo community. The pact reflects a shared will to recover confidence, reinforce coexistence and keep ABANCA‑RIAZOR a great asset of RC Deportivo.
The agreement also outlines a series of concrete points, though the source does not list them individually. It stresses that the fan groups will cooperate with the club to ensure safety standards are met while enjoying a vibrant matchday experience. In turn, the club commits to uphold the legal and organisational duties that accompany its role as event organiser.
With the signing of the agreement, both sides pledge to leave past differences behind and embark on a new stage. The focus shifts to supporting the team in achieving the best possible results upon its return to the first division. This forward‑looking stance underscores the collective ambition of all deportivistas.
RC Deportivo thanked all fan representatives for their willingness to engage in dialogue, their search for common ground and the commitment shown to reach a solution. The statement was issued by Iago Lopez, and the full release appeared in La Opinión A Coruña.
