Argentina Halts AFA’s ‘UNAFA’ Promotions After Regulator Rules It Is Not an Authorized University

Officials say the project lacks state authorization to operate as a university.

Hace un mes, según la propia publicación de la AFA, Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia encabezó junto a Alberto Barbieri la “presentación oficial” de la UNAFA
El Ministerio de Capital Humano había intimado a la institución educativa de la AFA.

Overview

  • The Subsecretaría de Políticas Universitarias ordered AFA to immediately stop all UNAFA advertising and gave five business days for a formal response.
  • The UNAFA website went offline hours after the government notice, interrupting publicized registrations and course details.
  • The notice, signed by Matías Zubiría Mansilla, cites Resolutions 206/1997 and 4600-E/2017 and articles 39 and 68 of the Higher Education Law that reserve the term “Universidad” for state‑authorized institutions.
  • Authorities say AFA had promoted undergraduate and postgraduate offerings, including a master’s in management of sports entities and 2026 enrollments, without official recognition.
  • The action intensifies scrutiny of AFA president Claudio Tapia as coverage also references disputes over a domestic trophy designation and circulating judicial information about a possible Sur Finanzas money‑laundering case.
