🇦🇷 Weapons and booze, scandal rocks Argentine promotion celebrations | OneFootball

Argentine regional football is embroiled in a major controversy following the leak of images of the Tucumán Central squad.

The "Rojiblanco" team, which recently secured its place in the final of the Northern Region of the Torneo Regional Federal Amateur, held a celebration that went beyond the sporting realm. In the viralized photos, several players can be seen celebrating on the official team bus while carrying firearms and consuming alcoholic beverages.

The sporting achievement, which should have been the main focus, was overshadowed by the seriousness of the images. Tucumán Central reached the decisive stage after a solid campaign on the field, but the spread of this audiovisual material has generated widespread outrage on social media. The use of firearms in a professional celebration context represents an ethical breach and an unacceptable security risk.

The situation has put football authorities and provincial sports security agencies on alert. While the fans await the final that will determine a crucial promotion, the focus has shifted to the possible disciplinary sanctions that could be imposed on those involved.

This type of incident reopens the debate about the behavior of professional athletes off the field and the responsibility of clubs in managing their squads.

From an institutional standpoint, the club has yet to issue an official statement detailing the internal measures that will be taken in response to this behavior.

Public opinion and national media have described the incident as a "dangerous celebration," pointing out that the visibility of such conduct in both amateur and professional football damages the image of the sport.
