There is grief in Argentine football over the passing of Javier “Pipo” Marín, a historic leader of Acassuso and current member of the AFA Executive Committee.

Marín built much of his institutional career at Acassuso, where over the years he held various roles. He was currently serving as the first vice president. His work at the club established him as a key figure within the structure of Argentine football.

Thanks to his tireless work, he managed to join the Argentine Football Association, where he worked alongside Julio Humberto Grondona and, later, Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia during their presidencies. Currently, he was part of the AFA Executive Committee and chaired the Development Commission, from where he contributed to the planning and strengthening of multiple areas of local football.
