The General Inspection of Justice (IGJ) in Argentina has denied the request from the Argentine Football Association (AFA), led by Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, to move its headquarters to Pilar, located in the province of Buenos Aires. Inspectors from the IGJ visited the proposed new site and found no existing offices or facilities for the AFA, leading them to conclude that the move was more about changing jurisdiction rather than establishing a legitimate new headquarters.

The AFA's intent to change its address was seen as a maneuver to shift oversight from the IGJ to the provincial government run by Axel Kicillof, which would allow the association to operate under different regulations. This rejection highlights the ongoing struggle between the AFA's leadership and regulatory authorities, revealing deeper tensions in Argentine football governance.

This decision may have significant implications for the AFA as it seeks to redefine its position within the bureaucratic framework that governs Argentine sports. The rejection of the move shows the IGJ's determination to maintain oversight over the AFA, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and preventing any potential circumvention of regulations that might occur through such a relocation.
