Tapia gets full AFA backing, Ascenso TV rights up for grabs | OneFootball

The leaders of Argentine football gave a strong and unanimous backing to Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia and Pablo Toviggino during the Executive Committee session of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), held on January 21. A vote was held to endorse all management actions of the top authorities, which was approved by all present, reinforcing the political ratification of the direction taken by the current leadership. The procedure was carried out with the certification of a public notary to provide formality and institutional support.

The meeting resulted in significant decisions both institutionally and economically, detailing all the agenda items. Among them are the changes in authorities for clubs that recently held elections, cases of young players leaving under parental authority, and increases in the prices of general admission tickets for stadiums.

Broadcasting of lower divisions, up for tender

In parallel, the opening of a tender for the commercialization of broadcasting rights for the lower division categories (Primera Nacional, Primera B Metropolitana, Primera C, and Torneo Federal A) was approved. This strategic measure aims to ensure transparency, competition, and better economic conditions for the clubs involved.

According to the available information, there are currently three bidders who have already submitted their numbers. However, more meetings and negotiations are expected in the coming days. The AFA's Official Bulletin details that interested parties have until next Monday, January 26, at 4 p.m. to submit their formal proposals at the AFA headquarters at Viamonte 1366.
