In this way, the Avellaneda club is authorized to introduce musical instruments and flags during the next matches” , the organization said in a statement Wednesday.
“Independiente’s behavior allowed him to have his flags and contribute all his color to the Avellaneda classic. As long as the clubs decide to support us and maintain appropriate behavior in the stadiums despite any sporting result, they will have our full collaboration”, said the head of Aprevide, Guillermo Cimadevila.
