During the seventh round of the Torneo Apertura of the Liga Profesional, the match between San Lorenzo and Instituto de Córdoba at the Nuevo Gasómetro aimed to highlight the ongoing institutional conflict involving the leadership of the Argentine Football Association (AFA). As part of this demonstration, all players took to the field with a unified message on their T-shirts reading: "Enough of persecuting us. AFA is all the clubs.", signaling solidarity with the AFA amidst this controversy.

This public display comes in the wake of a planned strike that will suspend the ninth round of the championship, scheduled between March 5 and 8. This strike, driven by clubs in response to escalating tensions, aligns with the legal inquiries that both Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, the AFA President, and Pablo Tov have recently faced. The push for solidarity through the players’ T-shirts seeks to unify the clubs against perceived external pressures.

According to reports, fans reacted variably to this initiative, with some expressing support for the players' action while others raised questions about the appropriateness and timing of such demonstrations in the sport. The situation illustrates the broader tensions between sports governance and political influence in Argentina, emphasizing the need for unity among clubs to protect their interests and autonomy in the current climate.
