River and Rosario Central showed an AFA poster before the final: “Football has no needs or emergencies”

The campuses of River Plate and Rosario Central They displayed a poster bearing the Professional Football League logo and the Argentine Football Federation with a clear message after the DNU signed by the President, Javier Mileilast Wednesday which, among other things, establishes that Argentine clubs are authorized to become sports companies.

“Football has no needs or emergencies”was the message that the AFA wanted to send through television in the official broadcast (the match was broadcast on Public TV and on ESPN Premium).

In the last Ordinary General Assembly of 2023, in November, Cludio Tapia, president of the AFA, declared himself against the SAD with the almost unanimous support of the clubs: “We will not fight against something that does not exist” The SAD is something that some see as something that goes beyond what we support, which are non-profit civil associations. Some have even established it in their statutes. I congratulate the clubs that have revalidated this support,” Chiqui said.

Unlike the previous presidential run-off, far fewer football teams demonstrated against the SAD

Almost as a preview of what would later be known on the national network, the president of Banfield, Eduardo Spinosa, closed the Annual General Meeting in which the club members approved the report and budget with a prescient phrase.

“As long as I am president, I will do the impossible so that Banfield continues to be a non-profit civil society,” Spinosa said and a few hours later the president of Argentina Javier Milei announced the decree that gave the green light to the Company to Sports Actions (SAD).

Without the strength of the times of the ballot, when the majority published a proclamation against the SAD on social media, after the DNU allowed it, only a few clubs expressed themselves in that direction. Read the full note.
