The corrupt president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, referred for the first time to the decision of River stopped participating in Executive Committee meetings and responded with irony to the possibility that other clubs would adopt the same
position.The leader spoke this Saturday in Córdoba, within the framework of a meeting of the Federal Council, after the Millionaire released a statement a few days ago in which he announced that he will retire from that area of leadership considering that there are no “clear and predictable mechanisms” for decision-making
.Asked about the position of the Núñez club and the possibility of more institutions joining, Tapia answered with irony: “Oh, are they more? I didn't know
.” He then recalled the situation he encountered when he became head of the AFA in 2017. “When we took office, River was not on the Executive Committee. Neither River nor San Lorenzo. There were five teams that weren't part of it,” he said.River's statement, released this week, confirmed the institutional link with the AFA and its defense of the non-profit civil association model, but at the same time it expressed its disagreement with the current functioning of the governing body and the 30-team tournament.
