Huracán boycotts AFA meeting in protest over refereeing

Huracán Football Club has protested against refereeing decisions by skipping the Executive Committee meeting of the Argentine Football Association (AFA). This decision was made by club President Abel Pozo and Vice President David Garzón in a sign of dissatisfaction with what they consider harmful refereeing. The direct trigger was the match in the 12th round against Barracas Central, where the refereeing by Facundo Tello raised numerous questions. Huracán joins a critical stance already taken by River Plate and Estudiantes de La Plata, which deepens the institutional conflict with the AFA. The club's discontent dates back to last season and continues in the current one, with controversial incidents recurring in Huracán's matches, including unjustified send-offs and penalties awarded to opponents. This protest comes before a crucial Copa Argentina match against Olimpo.
