Despite rumors of a possible change of date or cancellation, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) finally decided to maintain the strike that will paralyze activity from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 March in the First Division and all categories of Argentine football.

The force measure was unanimously approved by the clubs in the Executive Committee, with the exception of Estudiantes de La Plata, who were not present, and seeks to express solidarity with the leadership of the agency, who maintains that there is no enforceable debt and that the payments in question were made voluntarily before their respective maturities, a proposal that has already been submitted to the Court of Appeals for resolution
.
In parallel, the leaders called for the judicial investigation not to interfere with the normal functioning of football and the institution's autonomy, in a climate of strong political and media tension.
In this way, AFA decided that the date will be played in the week before the start of the Playoffs, once the league phase is over.
The situation puts the Apertura schedule in jeopardy and creates uncertainty among fans, who will be left without soccer this weekend while the debate continues on the impact of the judicial case on national sports.
