The president of the AFA stated at the opening of the assembly: "We reach places where the state does not, because we all know the number of leagues our Argentine football has: 23". Additionally, the head of the association did not remain silent regarding the tense situation that San Lorenzo is experiencing with its president, Marcelo Moretti. "Each club receives its funds on the date corresponding to meet its commitments with players, technical staff, and employees," he explained. Finally, 'Chiqui' Tapia presented the goal that the Argentine Football Association has had since taking office in 2017: to defend clubs that perform an exemplary social function. In this way, Tapia marked the beginning of the assembly, highlighting the work of the AFA in federal football and its commitment to the clubs. At the start of the 2025 Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assembly, the president of the Argentine Football Association, Claudio Fabián Tapia, criticized the national government. His statements anticipate the axes that will be debated throughout the day, focused on administrative transparency, support for institutions, and the strengthening of the social role of sport throughout the country. "The checks are over."
