Buenos Aires, November 21 (NA) -- The controversy surrounding the administrative crowning of Rosario Central as 2025 League Champion has added a new chapter, this time on the field. The Professional Football League (LPF) issued an official circular ordering the players of Club Estudiantes de La Plata to form a 'guard of honor' to welcome the Rosario team in their next encounter. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the LPF informed both clubs via a note that the action is mandatory and will take place in the match scheduled for next Sunday, November 23. The circular, signed by the Professional League, reads: 'A guard of honor will be formed between the visiting players and schoolboy escorts to welcome the newly designated '2025 League Champion'...'. This order reinforces the validation of Central's title, which was awarded for having accumulated the most points in the annual table. The measure was supported on social networks by Pablo Toviggino, one of the powerful figures in the AFA. In response to the controversy, a club official responded with a firm message on his X (formerly Twitter) account: 'Now, comply with the regulations established by the governing body, the Argentine Football Association'.
