Clubs call to postpone a Torneo Apertura round: what it means for Boca | OneFootball

Unanimously, the clubs that make up the Professional League—including Boca—requested the suspension of a round of the Apertura Tournament in protest against the complaint filed by the Revenue and Customs Control Agency against the Argentine Football Association.

The official statement from the AFA begins: “In light of the news published regarding the judicial decision to summon authorities of the Argentine Football Association for questioning, this Association wishes to clarify: The Argentine Football Association has no outstanding enforceable debt for the tax obligations that have been used as the basis for the complaint filed by ARCA, and which were used as grounds for the judicial decision to summon the authorities of this entity for questioning.”

The match between Boca and Central Córdoba will have to be postponed.

In the same vein, it adds: “The voluntary payment of these tax obligations was made prior to their due date, and this matter is the basis of the claim that has already been submitted to the intervening court, and as of today is pending resolution by the Court of Appeals. ARCA seeks to consider these obligations—which are not yet due and cannot even be collected—as the basis for the possible commission of a criminal tax offense, in open contradiction to current legal regulations.”

That is why: “by virtue of the Executive Committee meeting of the Professional League, held today, the directors, by unanimous decision of all present, requested the suspension of round 9 of the LPF, which runs from Thursday, March 5 to Sunday, March 8 and of the rest of the categories of our football; in protest against the complaint filed by ARCA against the Argentine Football Association.”

Which Boca match is suspended in the Apertura Tournament

In the ninth round of the local championship, the Xeneize team was supposed to visit Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero. The blue and gold side was set to play at the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades on Sunday, March 8, starting at 7:15 p.m. However, this will no longer be the case.

The Xeneize team has a tight schedule.

Soon, the Professional League will have to reschedule this match and the entire round of the championship affected by this measure adopted by all the clubs. It should be remembered that Úbeda’s team has a tight schedule, as the match against Lanús was postponed prior to the clash with the team from Santiago, because the southern team is playing the Recopa Sudamericana.
