Decisive hours for the amnesty in Argentine football: canceled the disqualifications for the start of the championship?

First they bet on Boca, given the number of disqualified players in the Champions Trophy against Racing. Later they spoke of “various clubs”. The truth is that in recent days a rumor has stated that the AFA is analyzing the possibility of issuing an amnesty for what disqualified players for accumulation of yellow and red cards for minor infringements can start the next professional championship without fulfilling the suspension of the last tournament. At the request of several clubs, the idea was transferred by the LPF to Chiqui Tapia, who is in Colombia alongside the Argentina national team in the South American Sub 20, and in turn was transferred to the Disciplinary Court, which has the final say and now he has to work against the clock to see if he accepts the motion.

Although the initial interest focused on Xeneize, in the corridors of the AFA they ensure that there are not a few leaders interested in clearing the cards from their players. And the argument has to do with the tight schedule that played out last year due to the World Cup and the lack of competition that didn’t allow them to clean up their players.

“During these three months, many clubs have asked for the penalties to be waived due to the scale of the football disruption,” the AFA said. The controversy continues like this: “The races to get to the World Cup were very compact and the break was very long so the sanctions would have already been discounted”.

As strange as the reason may seem, if the amnesty is applied it will be for all categories and tournaments, including futsal and beach soccer. And the Executive Committee is the one that has to decide, with the approval of the Court.
