The current Secretary General will head the ticket for the November elections, accompanied by leaders from the current Board of Directors and with the support of D'Onofrio
"I want you to be assured that every day we wake up and go to sleep thinking about winning the Copa Libertadores," Di Carlo said during his presentation. "We're going to make an infinite investment and focus on soccer. Because the ultimate and primary goal is to win the Copa Libertadores. We must win the Copa Libertadores," he added.
What had been discussed in the halls of Monumental for months is now official:Stefano Di Carlo will be the official candidate for president in the elections that River will hold at the end of the year to renew its authorities. His launch took place on Tuesday night at Parque Yrigoyen, San Martín, in the presence of club groups and key figures.
According to available information, the ticket is composed of Andrés Ballota (current treasurer) as candidate for vice president, Ignacio Villarroel (current vice president) as second vice president, and Mariano Taratuty (current president of Works and Infrastructure) as third vice president, a position recently added to the bylaws.
Additionally, Clara D’Onofrio, daughter of former president Rodolfo D’Onofrio, who publicly supported the candidacy, will be first regular board member.
Meanwhile, the event was attended by historic figures such as Beto Alonso and members of the current Board of Directors, including Juan Gallo (current alternate board member), Agustín Forchieri (current Deputy Secretary), and Julián Leunda (current president of Communication and Press).
River's elections will take place on Saturday, November 1, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., at Monumental stadium, and the electronic voting system will be implemented. Active members over 16 years old (with at least three years of membership as of August 31, 2025) will be eligible to participate, which is the date when the official lists will close.
