🚨Breaking news: Matchday 9 of Argentine football suspended

The Executive Committee of the AFA has decided on a total cessation of activities scheduled between March 5 and 9. This drastic measure involves the suspension of the ninth round of the championship in all its categories, affecting high-profile matches such as the clash between Boca Juniors and Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero.

Judicial Scandal and Travel Ban

The strike occurs amid a suffocating investigation by ARCA against the leadership. The judiciary has issued a travel ban for the president Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia and the treasurer Pablo Toviggino. Both have been summoned for questioning under accusations of tax evasion amounting to $19.353 billion.

An Uncertain Future

The paralysis of national football is due to an unprecedented conflict between the judiciary and the association. As investigations progress, clubs and fans are left waiting for a resolution that will allow the resumption of sports activities.
