In the context of the celebration of approximately five million citizens in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), without counting all the concentrations in different parts of the country, for the triumph of the Argentine soccer team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Alberto Fernandez offered the champion team to celebrate at the Casa Rosada.
This finally did not happen by decision of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), which in the first place intended, according to the request of the players and technical team, to take the Argentine team to the Obelisk of CABA and celebrate with the people. The President of the Nation, Alberto Fernandezin his own words, as an “accomplished soccer fan”, he says he understood that the players do not visit him due to the fatigue they suffered.
In a radio report, Alberto Fernandez He explained that “there are many speculations. I am an accomplished soccer fan and the truth is that I see things differently. I knew that the players were very exhausted and wanted a relatively short celebration. I let the AFA know that if they wanted, they had the Casa Rosada available to the players, but they chose something else.
Also, although the players did not greet from the historic box of the Casa Rosada, the leader Fernández says he is not offended by the decision of the footballers and the AFA. “If the decision was linked to not involving football in politics, I love to be doing school,” said the president. In addition to the aforementioned statements, he expressed his joy and said that he is “the president of the three cups.”
The Argentine National Team won the Copa América against Brazil, beat Italy in the final of, worth the redundancy, the Finalíssima, and beat France in the World Cup, which was held until December 18 in Qatar. Despite the inconveniences that the World Cup caravan had to advance on land, the head of state said that the celebration “was done in a climate of great tranquility, harmony and peace.”
The squad greeted from helicopters
The AFA had decided that the world champion squad would go from the Ezeiza airport to the Obelisk of CABA, so that in this way the players and technical team could celebrate the long-awaited victory with the fans. However, due to poor planning of the caravan’s route, it was unable to advance overland as planned.
The players, in the same bus in which they were for hours under the sun, since it was open-top, had to board helicopters and from there they flew over AMBA so that the people who were waiting for them could see them in some way. The festive event was a disappointment for some of those present; for others, enough and for still others, spectacular.
