AFA It is the largest football organization in Argentina and an institution that has brought glory to the millions of Argentines who love football. The Argentine Football Association has begun a path that could change the reality of the clubs forever in a very negative way.
AFA has filed an appeal with the federal court to stop the application of the SAD promoted by the government of Javier Milei. This measure aims to provide time for the reorganization of the Association, but also to try to prolong the application that would allow clubs to be bought by larger institutions.
As is known, the SAD They were implemented in several European clubs with truly disastrous results. However, it has been established that in Argentina it could be the way out of the serious financing problems of some clubs that are in the red.
It is known from a reliable source that there are European clubs from the best leagues interested in acquiring some Argentine clubs and it has been mentioned at one point that Newell’s was in the sights of Inter Miami to be bought and given to Lionel Messi.
Now, the AFA filed a precautionary measure in the Federal Court of Mercedes in which the request was granted for the government to suspend the application of DNU 70/2023, specifically articles 335 and 345in addition to the regulation of SADs.
However, the road for the highest Argentine football body will be arduous, because the government will insist on its interests with international clubs and their capitals. It is expected that in the coming days both parties, government and AFAsettle their issues.
The elections
AFA plans to hold its presidential elections on dates recently confirmed for next October 17. However, Chiqui Tapia is said to be the leading candidate and so far the only one who has presented himself to revalidate his mandate.
Claudio Tapia will be running for his third term at the helm of the institution, having taken over in 2017, with one World Cup and two Copa Americas, as well as the Finalissima under his belt in what is considered the most glorious cycle of recent decades.
