Within the framework of the first meeting of the year held this Wednesday in Puerto Madero, the Executive Committee of the Professional League decided to move forward with a general amnesty for sanctioned players. After approving the motion, the organization will refer the matter to the AFA Disciplinary Tribunal so that it can proceed with the ratification and official implementation of the measure.
This resolution benefits all footballers who had outstanding suspensions, with no limit on the number of pending matches. Thanks to this, teams like Estudiantes de La Plata —who begin the defense of their title— or River Plate (in the case of Maximiliano Salas) will be able to have their full squads available from the opening match.
In line with this decision, an extension for the closing of the transfer window has been confirmed. Clubs will have the opportunity to sign new players up to two days after the end of the first round of the Apertura. It is worth noting that the tournament begins this Thursday, January 22, and the opening round concludes on Sunday, the 25th.
Additionally, the regulation that grants an extra spot for each player transferred or loaned abroad remains in effect, allowing for new signings until March 31 inclusive.
