Argentina Imposes Indefinite Stadium Ban on Independiente Barra Leader After August 20 Violence

The ministry is using right-of-admission powers to curb organized fan violence following the August 20 clashes.

Overview

  • The National Ministry of Security renewed a nationwide, indefinite right-of-admission barring Juan Eduardo Lenczicki from all sporting events in Argentina.
  • The sanction is already in effect and will be formalized under Resolution 1039/2025 upon publication in the Official Gazette on Monday, September 1.
  • Authorities will register the restriction in the Programa Tribuna Segura to enforce access controls across venues.
  • Officials say the measure targets individuals linked to violent conduct and command structures within radicalized fan groups.
  • The action responds to the August 20 Copa Sudamericana unrest at Independiente’s stadium that included aggressions against supporters of both teams, with criminal and CONMEBOL disciplinary reviews continuing.
