Colón request end to stand ban, security weighs green light | OneFootball

The province’s Security Department is considering lifting part of the sanction in Colón, ahead of the clash against Godoy Cruz. What is it about?

Colón made moves again ahead of a key match. The club’s leadership took steps to have the sanction on the north stand of the Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium lifted, ahead of Sunday’s match against Godoy Cruz.

The disciplinary measure has remained in effect since the incident against San Miguel, when a banner appeared reading “The mafia does not betray – Barrio Centenario,” a situation that led to the intervention of provincial authorities.

A specific request from Colón and a partial response

In recent hours, the club sought to ease the restrictions to restore that section’s usual atmosphere. However, according to what has emerged, the official position would be to keep the ban on banners.

Still, there could be some easing in another area: authorities are considering allowing the entry of musical and percussion instruments, something the red-and-black club had expressly requested.

A recent precedent

The sanction had already sparked controversy in the match against Racing de Córdoba, the first in which the restrictions were enforced. On that occasion, the provincial director of Security at Mass Events, Fernando Peverengo, had been clear: the administrative ruling remained in force, although its continuation would depend on the crowd’s behavior.

“We’re going to analyze how the match unfolds and, if there are no unusual situations, we can reconsider the measure,” the official had said.

A new flashpoint

Far from dying down, the issue flared up again in the club’s last home match, where another banner was seen in the north end, this time with a message aimed directly at Peverengo.

That episode reignited tensions and complicates any attempt to fully lift the sanction in the short term.

Against this backdrop, Colón is getting ready to host Godoy Cruz in a particular atmosphere. While on the sporting side the team needs the support of its fans in a decisive match, institutionally the negotiations continue to restore normality in one of its most emblematic stands.

For now, the easing would be partial. And the crowd’s behavior will once again be under scrutiny.
