Facundo Tello honoured as top sports figure in Buenos Aires Province | OneFootball

Facundo Tello was the main protagonist of a bill presented during the sixth ordinary session of the year in the Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Buenos Aires, where it was proposed to honor him as an outstanding sports personality.

The initiative came from legislator Fernando Compagnoni, a native of Bahía Blanca just like the 43-year-old referee. In presenting the motion, the provincial deputy highlighted the referee’s extensive and rich career at the domestic, regional, and international levels as pillars to be considered.

Through a document, Tello’s career was reviewed, from his beginnings in the Bahiense Referees Association (ABA) in 2005 and his entry onto the national stage in 2009, passing through the Liga del Sur, Primera Nacional, and Primera División, and his move to the global stage by taking part in competitions such as the South American U-20 Championship, Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana, Copa América, South American Qualifiers, the Euro Cup, and the Qatar World Cup in 2022.

The document submitted to the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies with the aim of honoring Facundo Tello.

Compagnoni’s argument for Tello’s distinction

“The successful career of Facundo Tello from Buenos Aires was crowned with his appointment by FIFA to represent Argentina at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In this historic experience, he officiated Switzerland-Cameroon, South Korea-Portugal, and Morocco-Portugal,” Compagnoni highlighted to the other members of the Buenos Aires Chamber of Deputies, as stated in a written document bearing his signature.

The provincial legislator also praised the referee as the second Argentine to officiate at the Euro Cup, ‘consolidating his reputation as one of the most outstanding Argentine referees on the international stage.’
