Marcelo Moretti, president of San Lorenzo, experienced a painful loss on Monday night with the passing of his father. Despite medical efforts, his father's health could not be restored, leading to this tragic outcome.
In solidarity with Moretti, Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), expressed his condolences through social media. "The old ones never leave, they always accompany us," Tapia wrote, offering strength to Moretti and his family during this difficult time.
The tragedy struck Moretti while San Lorenzo was facing Racing in a match of the 2025 Apertura Tournament. Unfortunately, his father suffered a health crisis during the match and passed away minutes later, despite medical attempts. The news reached Moretti during the first half of the game, forcing him to leave the Nuevo Gasómetro stadium immediately.
