Barracas Central win two Alumni Awards 🏆, shortlisted elsewhere | OneFootball

As Argentine football navigates a new controversy following the latest meeting of the Argentine Football Association, the Alumni Awards have just taken place to recognize various aspects of Argentine football. In this context, and despite the enormous surprise, Barracas Central walked away with two awards and was nominated in other categories within the sport.

After the decision to award a League title to Rosario Central for being the absolute leader in the 2025 Annual General Table and the unusual back-turning guard of honor performed by Estudiantes de La Plata over the weekend, the atmosphere remains tense with every decision involving any team in the country. And as expected, the "Guapo" is under scrutiny...

The truth is that, surprisingly, Barracas Central won the Alumni Awards for Outstanding Institution for the best visitor service and Merit for the stadium renovation. In clear recognition of the multiple works carried out at their venue and how they host the delegation visiting their facilities, the red and white team was praised by the organization.

The renovations carried out at the Claudio Tapia Stadium are valued at approximately 10 million dollars and have allowed them to have a significantly better establishment than what they had in the recent past. During that long period, they were forced to change their home ground for a considerable amount of time at different Argentine football team stadiums.

Not only that, but the "Guapo" was also nominated in two other categories: Outstanding Manager in Men's Futsal and Outstanding Coach in Men's Futsal. In the discipline that is constantly growing, they are one of the leading teams in each of the domestic competitions, which is why they were included among the contenders to win it.

An important fact to highlight is that Tapia was also recognized for his managerial work, being in charge of the presidency of the Argentine Football Association. On the other hand, amid another controversy in the environment, Ricardo Sastre was recognized for his actions as president of Deportivo Madryn. Thus, the 2025 Alumni Awards were consolidated.
