APREVIDE Closes Racing’s Stadium for Three AFA Home Matches Over Pyrotechnic Violations

The order starts with the Nov. 8 home date against Defensa y Justicia, triggering a later ban on crowd‑animation devices.

Overview

  • Racing must play its next three AFA home fixtures at the Estadio Presidente Perón behind closed doors, effective immediately.
  • The three subsequent home matches will be staged without drums, trumpets, flags, tirantes or telones, with all animation items barred.
  • APREVIDE cited lack of control and vigilance and breaches of Laws 11.929, 23.184 and 23.192 linked to the pyrotechnic‑heavy reception before the Flamengo semifinal.
  • AFA has been notified, and the club faces the loss of matchday revenue and the competitive impact of playing without home support.
  • The sanction aligns with stricter recent penalties for similar incidents, following precedents involving River Plate and Independiente.
