Unión stand with 'Chiqui' Tapia: official statement backs March strike | OneFootball

The Club Atlético Unión has made its institutional stance official regarding the conflict shaking Argentine football, confirming its full adherence to the strike of activities ordered by the AFA from March 5 to 8. Through a statement, the Santa Fe entity justified the measure as a necessary response to what they consider «public and political attacks» and «leaks of decisions before their judicial notifications» against the leadership headed by Claudio Tapia.

The Tatengue leadership emphasized the need to shield the association's management from external interventions. In the text, the club states that it is «essential to safeguard the autonomy of Argentine football and the system's ability to generate, manage, and project its own resources», describing these as the strategic pillar for the sustainability of the clubs and the development of competitions at all levels.

Despite the firm political support, the institution admitted that the cessation of activities entails a logistical and economic sacrifice, directly affecting the match that was to be played against Talleres. «We know that the interruption of activity during these days produces concrete consequences for our club: it modifies sports schedules, affects income linked to the competition, and postpones the meeting of our people with the team», they explained from the club, reaffirming that they assume this cost in defense of the institutional stability of the national football's governing body.
