AFA Tribunal Provisions Two Suspensions After Supercopa Final Brawl

The tribunal opened an investigation giving clubs five days to submit defenses as it seeks the LPF delegate’s testimony to clarify clashes in the tunnel.

Overview

  • The AFA Tribunal provisionally suspended Fabricio Iacovich (Estudiantes) and Agustín Sández (Rosario Central) under Articles 47–48 of the disciplinary code, removing them from official competition while the case proceeds.
  • The tribunal formally asked the Liga Profesional delegate to report what they saw or were told about the confrontations in the stadium tunnels and dressing-room corridors, citing video evidence not detailed in the referee's report.
  • The tribunal published its first resolution on Thursday and gave both clubs a five-day deadline under Article 36 to read the expediente and submit written descargos before any final sanctions are decided.
  • Referee Darío Herrera’s match report names Estudiantes officials Juan Sebastián Verón, Marcos Angeleri and Pascual Caiella for verbal aggression, but the tribunal has not yet included them in formal charges.
  • A separate judicial complaint was filed about Rosario Central’s post-match celebrations, and the disciplinary process could still lead to player suspensions that affect lineups, fines or bans for officials and parallel court scrutiny.
