After the embarrassing episode of the title gifted to Rosario Central, Davoo Xeneize re-entered the debate about the organization of Argentine football and launched strong criticism against the management of Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia at the head of AFA. In one of his statements, he focused on financial prizes, the tournament format, and the lack of investment at the institutional level.
"Argentine football gives a total of one million dollars to the champion of Argentine football. Do you know where that million dollars comes from? From CONMEBOL," Davoo began, pointing out that AFA doesn't contribute its own funds to reward the champion teams.
The creator detailed that this money comes from the economic support program that the South American entity distributes among the ten member federations. "AFA doesn't give a single peso to the champion of Argentine football," he insisted. As a recent example, he cited Platense, champion of the 2024 Copa de la Liga, which received 500 thousand dollars, all provided by the South American federation. "It's nothing for a champion team of Argentine football," he concluded.
In that same vein, the comparison with Brazil was inevitable. "The champion there takes 14 million," he stated, to show the magnitude of the economic gap between both countries. "I'm not saying we should match Brazil, but it's so people understand how much AFA itself contributes for Argentine football to progress," he added.
