The Argentine Football Association issued a statement yesterday to clarify the confusion in some media regarding the new regulations of the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ), which allow civil associations in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (such as football clubs) to become companies or associations to cooperate with them from November 1, 2024.
“The changes in the regulations of the local institutions of the City of Buenos Aires will not in any way impose or affect the social regulations of the AFA, and being a non-profit civil association remains the fundamental requirement for membership of the AFA”, the statement stressed.
Furthermore, the entity points out that “this is a good opportunity to clarify that the AFA or its member entities are against the so-called SAD (Sports Public Limited Companies) and/or the legal structure that each private association (club, regardless of its activity) can freely decide to adopt; what the AFA and its member entities are now against, because it is clearly unconstitutional, they want to force any private entity (that is, the AFA and any private association) to associate an entity with a different legal structure with its current legal structure. The members are clearly against the statutes drawn up by their partners.”
Dictators don’t like this.
Professional and critical journalism practice is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it troubles those who think they are in possession of the truth.
This view is supported by the Federal Judiciary, which also mentioned in the statement that Mercedes’ Federal Court has suspended certain provisions of DNU 70/2023, which prohibit sports organizations from discriminating on the basis of legal form, and requires them to adapt their statutes to the provisions of the aforementioned decree.
Furthermore, the Provincial Office of Legal Persons also declared void a meeting of the José Hernández Social and Sports Development Centre seeking to transform it into a sports limited company, highlighting the important cultural and social role of the club as a civil association.
The open war between the government and the Football Association over sports associations is at its most intense.
A week ago, Mire posted on social media what he considered a lack of competitiveness at club level and a certain “authoritarianism” in the entity led by Chiqui Tapia.
Mirei relied on his campaign slogans: he spoke of “jobs” for the AFA and said he dreamed of an open regime that would encourage massive investments.
Building on the momentum created by the signing of the Basic Law, a regulation was published this week in the Official Gazette allowing civil society groups to transform into SADs with the approval of the Inspector General of Justice.
That is why the AFA reacted and issued a statement yesterday offering to clarify the situation, although it is known that the fight will have more rounds.
