Boca Juniors publicly backed the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, and treasurer Pablo Toviggino, who have been summoned to face judicial inquiries over fiscal evasion allegations stemming from a case initiated by ARCA. The club's leadership strongly condemned what they termed as 'repeated attacks' against the AFA authorities, positioning their support in the context of significant scrutiny facing the football administration in Argentina.

In the statement released by Boca's Board of Directors, they reiterated their solidarity with Tapia and Toviggino, reflecting a united front in light of the external pressures and accusations aimed at the leadership of Argentinian football. The context of this support is further underscored by Boca's decision to back the suspension of the ninth matchday of the Apertura tournament, which indicates their concern about the ongoing turmoil in the football governance in the country.

This backing from Boca Juniors is significant, considering the club's prominent status in Argentine football. Their public stance could influence other clubs' perspectives on the current governance issues and might lead to broader discussions about the future leadership and management of the AFA, particularly amid ongoing investigations that might affect the integrity of the sport in Argentina.
