Overview

• Governor Axel Kicillof confirmed that the AFA will assume management of the Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona and begin a renovation program.
• The AFA Executive Council approved the transfer of management last week after roughly nine months of negotiations.
• Under the agreement, AFA owes a usage fee to the province that can be offset by carrying out necessary stadium works.
• AFA presented a four-part plan focusing on the playing surface, roof, lighting, and interior infrastructure and connectivity, with short-term works slated to start.
• The venue is intended to host Argentina’s national teams and major domestic finals, and Boca Juniors is evaluating it as a temporary home if its Bombonera project proceeds.
