Overview

• Pablo Toviggino accused President Javier Milei of turning his back on football after Argentina sent no government representative to a New York summit on 2030 planning.
• The meeting gathered FIFA’s Gianni Infantino, CONMEBOL chief Alejandro Domínguez, AFA president Claudio Tapia and the presidents of Uruguay and Paraguay, with CONMEBOL approving a proposal to expand the tournament to 64 teams and let Argentina play its entire group stage at home.
• Toviggino said “no fue Milei, no fue el canciller, no fue nadie,” while Milei was in the United States and met with President Donald Trump earlier that day.
• Tapia struck a more measured tone, posting that he was honored to represent Argentina and publicly congratulated the presidents of Uruguay and Paraguay for attending.
• The clash extends a months-long feud over football governance, as the government pushes club ownership reforms and alleges Toviggino’s links to the Carnaval streaming channel and suspected illegal espionage against Karina Milei.
