According to reports, tomorrow the club leaders will have a meeting at the AFA to decide whether to lift or maintain the strike in football.
The strike for matchday 9 promoted by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) has generated controversy in the sports field. Supposedly, the decision was made collectively by all the clubs in an assembly as a protest against the judicial situation of Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, Pablo Toviggino, the general secretary Cristian Malaspina, the general director Gustavo Lorenzo, and the former general secretary Víctor Blanco.
For the moment, Argentine football will be paralyzed during matchday 9 of the First Division championship. That is, from March 5 to 8.
However, Esteban Edul reported on his X account that tomorrow there will be an executive committee meeting at noon, where it will be decided whether to maintain the strike from March 5 to 8 or to lift the strike and play matchday 9 as normal.

In recent hours, the version that the strike for matchday 9 of the Apertura Tournament will be lifted has started to gain strength. As the day progresses, there will be more updates, and it is recommended to stay tuned to the official communication channels.
