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

Club Atlético Unión has made its institutional stance official regarding the conflict shaking Argentine football, confirming its full adherence to the strike called by the AFA between March 5 and 8. Through a statement, the Santa Fe club 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 management placed special emphasis on the need to shield the association’s administration from external interventions. In the statement, the club asserts 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 resources as the strategic pillar for sustaining the clubs and developing competitions at all levels.

Despite their firm political support, the institution admitted that the suspension of activities entails logistical and economic sacrifices, directly affecting the match they were supposed to play against Talleres. “We know that the interruption of activity during these days brings concrete consequences for our club: it changes sports schedules, affects income related to competition, and postpones the meeting between our people and the team,” the club explained, reaffirming that they accept this cost in defense of the institutional stability of the governing body of national football.
