Barracas Central win two Premios Alumni awards, more nods follow | OneFootball

While Argentine football is going through a new controversy following the latest meeting of the Argentine Football Association, the Alumni Awards have just taken place to recognize different aspects of Argentine football. In this context, and despite the huge surprise, Barracas Central walked away with two awards and was nominated in other categories within the sport.

After the decision to award a League title to Rosario Central for being the absolute leader in the 2025 Annual General Table, and the unusual backwards guard of honor performed by Estudiantes de La Plata over the weekend, the atmosphere remains tense with every decision involving any team in the country. And, as expected, El Guapo is under the spotlight…

The truth is that, quite surprisingly, Barracas Central won the Alumni Awards for Outstanding Institution for the best attention to visitors and for Merit in stadium remodeling. In clear recognition of the multiple works carried out at their venue and the way they host visiting delegations, the red-and-white team was honored by the organization.

The renovations carried out at the Claudio Tapia Stadium are valued at approximately 10 million dollars and have allowed the club to have a much better facility than it had in the recent past. During that long period, they were forced to change their home ground for a considerable amount of time, playing at various stadiums of other Argentine football teams.

Not only that, but El Guapo was also nominated in two other categories: Outstanding Manager in Men’s Futsal and Outstanding Head Coach in Men’s Futsal. In this ever-growing discipline, they are one of the leading teams in every domestic competition, which is why they were included among the contenders for the award.

An important point to highlight is that Tapia was also recognized for his leadership work as president of the Argentine Football Association. On the other hand, and amid another controversy in the air, Ricardo Sastre was recognized for his actions as president of Deportivo Madryn. This is how the 2025 Alumni Awards were consolidated.
