The investigation into the Argentine Football Association (AFA) follows a complaint from the Agency for Revenue and Customs Control (ARCA), alleging that the AFA has failed to pay nearly 20 billion pesos in pension contributions. This case is currently the most developed among several legal inquiries directed at the AFA and its top executives. Legal action has escalated with the involvement of Judge Diego Amarante, who has summoned AFA President Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia and Treasurer Pablo Toviggino for questioning and barred them from leaving the country amid allegations of misappropriation of tributes and social security resources.

On March 5, 6, 7, and 8, coinciding with the start of a major national football tournament, professional football clubs in Argentina, under the umbrella of the Liga Profesional, have unanimously called for a strike across all categories in protest of the ongoing financial issues. This decision reflects the clubs’ exasperation with the AFA’s management and the negative impact on the football league’s operations. The strike not only jeopardizes the tournament's commencement but may also have broader implications for the reputation and financial health of Argentine football.

These developments signify a crucial moment for the AFA as they navigate serious legal challenges and potential unrest from football clubs, which are vital stakeholders in the national sports landscape. The outcome of these legal battles could reshape the governance of the AFA and the direction of professional football in Argentina, determining the future stability and trust in the institution that oversees the country's most popular sport.
