Joint effort for security

The measure is the result of a coordinated effort between the governing body of football and the security authorities of Buenos Aires Province. In its statement, the AFA explicitly thanked the commitment of Buenos Aires Security Minister Javier Alonso and APreViDe chief Guillermo Cimadevila in coordinating the necessary operations.

A call for responsibility

From Viamonte Street, the message was clear: the success of this initiative depends on people's behavior. Supporters of all four clubs were asked to experience the day as a “celebration of sport” and to strictly comply with the rules of conduct.

“Let’s experience the passion of football responsibly so that this step will be the first of many more to come”, the official message concludes, leaving the door open for the measure to be extended to more matches and divisions in the short term if the operations prove successful.
