Free football return? Emeterio Farías drops AFA bombshell | OneFootball

Argentinian football could be on the verge of a historic change in its broadcasting model. Emeterio Farías, a historic leader in Cordoban football and current treasurer of the Cordoba League, stated that the Argentine Football Association (AFA) is preparing to announce the return of “free” broadcasts for fans through an app.

The return of a “for everyone” model

In statements to Punto a Punto Radio, Farías did not hesitate to compare this initiative to the previous government program: “It will be like Fútbol para Todos was, including the First Division,” he asserted emphatically.

This revelation comes at a time of significant internal movements within the AFA, which recently launched LPF Play (or AFA Play) as the platform responsible for broadcasting lower division matches, starting with Primera Nacional 2026. According to the official, this free access model would now extend to the top tier of local football.

Key points of the possible announcement

Although an official presentation is expected at the Ezeiza complex in the coming weeks, Farías’ words have already generated enormous anticipation in the sports world, promising to democratize access to the country’s most popular spectacle.
