AFA announces when the 'summer schedule' for matches will kick in | OneFootball

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) confirmed this Friday the implementation of the so-called “summer schedule,” which will apply to all categories of national football starting from Thursday, November 13.

According to the announcement in the Official Bulletin, no match may be played between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., a time frame during which high temperatures tend to be most intense during the summer months.

This measure applies to the following AFA competitions: Liga Profesional, Primera Nacional, Primera B, Primera C, Women’s Football, and Copa Argentina.

The “summer schedule” will remain in effect until Wednesday, March 12, 2026, inclusive, although the possibility of extending the period is not ruled out if weather conditions warrant it.

In this way, Argentine football once again adapts to the calendar and the climate, prioritizing the well-being of players, referees, and spectators in a context of high temperatures that each year have a greater impact on local competitions.
