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.
"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.
