The Executive Committee of the AFA has decided on a total cessation of activities scheduled between March 5 and 9. This drastic measure involves the suspension of the ninth round of the championship in all its categories, affecting high-profile matches such as the clash between Boca Juniors and Central CĂłrdoba in Santiago del Estero.
The strike occurs amid a suffocating investigation by ARCA against the leadership. The judiciary has issued a travel ban for the president Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia and the treasurer Pablo Toviggino. Both have been summoned for questioning under accusations of tax evasion amounting to $19.353 billion.
The paralysis of national football is due to an unprecedented conflict between the judiciary and the association. As investigations progress, clubs and fans are left waiting for a resolution that will allow the resumption of sports activities.
