AFA Releases Contracts, Defends 30% Faroni Commission as Reports Track Funds to Perugia

The statement did not address the reported money trail tied to the Perugia acquisition or announce an audit.

Overview

  • A year-end communiqué titled “La única verdad, es la realidad” defended current commercial practices and published Grondona-era agreements to illustrate earlier revenue splits.
  • The federation says renegotiations since 2017 shifted distributions to up to 70% for AFA and 30% for partners, contrasting with prior models involving ISL, Santa Mónica and Guillermo Tofoni.
  • Recent investigations report transfers linked to the Perugia purchase, including money moving from TourProdEnter LLC at Bank of America to Sports Next Gen Ltd., with TourProdEnter managed by Erica Gillette, who holds contracts with AFA.
  • El Día cites at least $6.2 million tied to the operation, and La Nación reports $5.7 million sent from TourProdEnter to Sports Next Gen between January and September 2025.
  • AFA accuses former commercial counterparts of trying to destabilize its leadership to recover prior benefits, as scrutiny of the handling of the national team’s commercial rights intensifies.
