Three Aldosivi hooligans were sanctioned after the knife fight in the stands.

The Ministry of Security identified three individuals involved in Saturday's altercation and banned them from entering stadiums

Last Saturday, the popular stand at Aldosivi became the scene of an incident that had nothing to do with football. A knife fight between factions of the barrabrava ended with injuries, people running, and an atmosphere of total tension at the José María Minella stadium.

This Tuesday, the Ministry of Security confirmed through Resolution 907/2025, published in the Official Gazette, that three of those involved in the fight were identified, and they were given a ban on entering any Argentine football stadium.

The sanctioned individuals are Carlos Manuel Juárez, Brian Nicolás Ezequiel Otero, and Lautaro Ezequiel Pires Gilardi. "An administrative attendance restriction is imposed on all sporting events in Argentine territory," the official text states.

According to information gathered by the Directorate of Security for Sporting Events, the identification was possible thanks to photographic and video records. The analysis indicates that Juárez is the number two of the "Nuevo Golf" faction, while Otero and Pires Gilardi belong to the rival group: "Nueva Italia."

The Ministry also reported that the investigation is still ongoing to find other individuals involved in the incident, which left several people seriously injured by bladed weapons. Additionally, it confirmed that the three sanctioned individuals have already been included in the Safe Stand Program, which prevents them from entering sporting events in Argentina.

A conflict with a history

The internal conflict within the Tiburón's barra is not new. The conflict between "Nuevo Golf" and "Nueva Italia" dates back to 2022, when a wave of reprisals and attacks broke out after members of the barra set fire to players' cars at the club's facilities. That episode was a turning point.

Since then, the violence has escalated. Luis "El Indio" Coman established himself as leader after those events and began a territorial dispute with other factions for control of the stand and parallel businesses.

One of the key factors that deepened the dispute, according to investigative sources, is the sale of drugs around the stadium, an activity that pits both factions against each other for territorial control.

The violent episode last Saturday is just a new chapter in an internal conflict that shows no sign of stopping, using football as an excuse but with other businesses as the real backdrop.
