Argentinian football faced a complete halt this weekend due to 58 postponed matches following a decision by AFA executives to protest against alleged persecution by tax authorities.
In a significant event in Argentinian football, 58 matches were postponed this weekend due to a coordinated decision by the leaders of the AFA (Argentinian Football Association) to show solidarity against what they describe as persecution by the Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA) and the judge Diego Amarante. This protest is directed towards ongoing investigations concerning the alleged improper retention of taxes involving AFA president Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia and treasurer Pablo Toviggino among other officials. The AFA leadership, despite not having representatives from River Plate, Racing Club, and Estudiantes de La Plata present at the last meeting, agreed unanimously to halt all matches in a clear demonstration of power.
