Colón and Unión fans can watch their teams free on LPF Play | OneFootball

In an exclusive interview with Darío Pignata on the ADN program on Radio Gol 96.7, Mario Echeverría, Secretary of Coordination of the AFA Federal Council and President of the Sanluiseña Federation, provided details about the launch of the LPF Play platform and its impact on clubs in the interior, especially for Colón and Unión.

The end of dependency on economic groups

Echeverría highlighted that the launch of this application marks the beginning of a historic process where clubs regain the management of their assets. “What happened with the large economic groups was that they imposed when, how, and for how much to renew,” he explained, noting that previous revenues barely covered two months of expenses and the rest was still provided by AFA.

With the new platform, AFA seeks to become independent from the time constraints and low-quality broadcasts of private companies. Currently, the application allows free viewing of matches from the Primera Nacional, Primera B, C, Proyección, women's football, and youth divisions.

Impactful data and the future of broadcasting

In just three weeks, LPF Play has achieved impressive numbers:

Although it is currently free as a “testing ground”, the official hinted that in the future a minimal fee is expected to maintain operability, while connectivity and infrastructure details in the stadiums are adjusted.

Benefits for Colón and Unión's women's football

For Santa Fe fans, the news is encouraging. Echeverría confirmed that both Colón's path in the Primera Nacional and Unión's participation in AFA's women's football will be available on the platform throughout the season. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of broadcasting the youth divisions, allowing clubs like Colón to showcase and enhance their young talents to the world, generating genuine income for the institution.

Equality for Federal A

An announcement that was enthusiastically received by interior football was the decision to equalize the income of Federal A clubs with those of B Metropolitana. “Now that this is managed by AFA, equality is achieved… this money goes directly to the clubs, AFA does not obtain any profit from this”, stated Echeverría, highlighting the strong support from the interior leadership for the current management.
