Overview

• Federal Administrative Court No. 6 granted AFA’s second injunction, suspended Disposición 16/2025, and ordered the Executive and ARCA to comply with the May 20 ruling confirmed by Sala III on August 7.
• The contribution rate for football clubs remains at 7.5%, blocking the planned rise to 13.06% plus a temporary 5.56% surcharge published in the Boletín Oficial.
• The government’s increase, announced by Minister Federico Sturzenegger as a way to recover a fiscal shortfall, had been slated to take effect on August 1.
• In its filing, AFA argued the measure abused regulatory authority, exceeded powers delegated under Decreto 510/2023, and violated an existing judicial order.
• Clubs and AFA contend the proposed hike would weaken non-profit institutions and pressure a shift to Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas, noting a government-created committee under Decreto 939/2024 had recommended only a 1% change.
