Overview
- The Liga Profesional instructed Estudiantes to form a guard of honor for Rosario Central before their Nov. 23 match, a gesture not set out in the regulations and one the team had yet to confirm.
- The national government labeled the process that recognized Rosario Central as 2025 league champion as “desprolijo,” concentrated criticism on AFA executive Pablo Toviggino, and signaled no intervention or immediate measures.
- Estudiantes issued a formal statement asserting no vote was held on the recognition, while AFA-aligned voices including Toviggino and Banfield president Matías Mariotto maintained there was unanimous approval with Estudiantes represented.
- Lanús president Nicolás Russo backed the AFA decision, underscoring divisions among clubs following the mid-season change and the new designation.
- LaLiga chief Javier Tebas criticized the state of Argentine club football, and AFA president Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia publicly defended the domestic league in response.
