The meteoric rise of the entity presided over by Amadeo Salvo as a consequence of its sporting results and public prominence gained as a result of the signing of Paco Jémez and the recent goals scored placed UD Ibiza as one of the sports clubs gaining influence both inside and outside our borders. Amadeo Salvo admitted this yesterday when asked by Diario de Ibiza about the impact that the Ibiza club has had since its reintroduction to LaLiga SmartBank, where it currently sits in 10th position, four points off of the play-offs, after 25 games.

“The club is rapidly expanding, and it is a force to be reckoned with in the Second Division. Ibiza is already a reference team in the Second Division among clubs that have not been “relegated” from the First Division and hence have more economic potential. We are pleased since we are one of the two or three best in terms of private sponsorship”, remarked UD Ibiza’s president during the introduction of Álvaro Jiménez after his debut as a Celeste in the second half against Real Zaragoza.

UD Ibiza is rapidly growing

The Valencian businessman stated that the club is “in a medium-high term in television metrics” in comparison to the rest of the Second Division teams, and that they will publish a report with audience data such as share and raiting conducted by a specialist company before the end of the season.

Amadeo Salvo also mentioned the “selling of merchandise online in other nations,” claiming that they are among “the leaders in the sector.” As a proportion of stadium attendance, the Celeste club president continued, “we nearly never get below 60-65 % of the 6,200 spectators. Can Misses is one of the fields with the highest attendance according on capacity and population. We have some limitations, but we are very happy in terms of club identity, views of our matches inside and outside of Spain, interactions and views of our content on social networks, income from private sponsorships… and without institutional aid,” Salvo argued, noting that “the Balearic Islands and some other communities are among those that do not sponsor.” clubs for professionals.

“Many of our competitor clubs have institutional sponsors that offer substantial sums of money; we have to provide it from other sources,” Salvo asserted, adding that he was “quite delighted” with the club’s current volume of subscribers, which he estimated to be close to 3,400.
