It was an exciting start to the campaign for Cadiz, who sit third in Segunda. After kicking off the season with victories against Mirandes and Albacete and a draw at Leganes. Drawing 3-3 at Real Soledad B, 1-0 wins against Eibar and Malaga, before a dangerous intensity in AD CUUTA. And at the beginning of Cadiz’s you have not finished the last three years, but they do not get to the goal of promotion.
There are many factors behind the good start of Cadiz, from BAJAN Kovacevic and Iker Recio’s Stilwart’s Stilwart PAIR Back, to Youssouf Diartra’s Runless Running in the Midfield field, to Victor Wehbi Aznar Ussen However, behind these scenes, one player who has helped to cross their role is Ben Harburg.
Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Harburg spent his childhood in various places from Michigan to Switch. However, it was during his time in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain, that he fell in love with football after attending the Cadiz Match at MSA Capital, a Global Investment firm ($2B) in assets under the Finally, he decided that he wanted to accumulate his money in the world of sports after watching the Netflix series Sering Sunderland ’till I die.
“What motivated me to go into football ownership,” Harburg said in an exclusive interview with Espagle Fotball Espaiña. “Like all of us at the time, I was locked at home and I was stripping the shops, and I thought that he was one of the cows of the tv, which I think is from a serious point of view, like the point of view of the owner, the point of view of the kit, the Pastor of the place in the Church.”
“They exposed in depth all the possibilities, and I think that motivated me to look hard at football ownership and I can tell you, I was getting all that out of my phone and out of my mind, and I was putting all my energy into football, which was really fun.”
Harburg decided to start his sports ownership journey in Spain, the same place where he was introduced to the great game. He looked at all 80 clubs in Spain’s top three divisions, linking key metrics such as city size, GDP size per Club VS. In the end, he found that Cadiz was the best buy of all these groups. That is why, on October 29, 2021, – Suspect became a shareholder and watcher on Cadiz’s Board of Directors after buying a 6.5% stake in the club.

But in spite of the slight anointing of the drop, Cadiz established themselves as the main killers of Spain after holding the real MADRID and barcelona to draw. And despite losing their first five games, Cadiz would end up finishing 14th, beating the likes of real betis and atletico madrid along the way. However, their magical carry turned into a pumpkin in 2023/4, with Cadiz placing 18th placed in the second tier.
“Being identified is not the end of the world,” Harburg added. “If you are transferred from Spain to Spain in the second division, it is a day of booking. But as long as you are in the lines of Spanish football, you can watch the division of the first division, as long as you get the division of Global TV, and there are other languages where the first division does not get access to global TV in Greece.”

“If you are promoted back to Laliga, as your Revenue increases, but also your costs increase, so in fact you can find that the Laliga Club is lower, because I bought it in the construction of equity; Bernabeu and Camp Nou, but unfortunately, in Spain, we have Monster clubs like Deantivo de Co Coruna, Malaga, Almeria, racing Santander playing in the second division. “
“These are big clubs, the Bigs are important for always playing more seasons than us in the first division, so it’s not a strong farm thing or something strong, and it’s been very difficult.”

“It feels like we’re on the right track now. We’ve cleared most of Deadwood’s time, and we’ve got a young team, but we think this goal will be developed, even if it takes another person or two years.”
“To increase the funny thing where there are often one or two clubs that deserve to be shaken automatically, and we are sitting in the automatic automatic slots, where we encourage when we show a clear release, but so if we think we like to be there, but when we think we can slip through the door, but we will take it. But that is the goal. There is no other bar in the second category.”
