Overview
- Florencia Guerra Sodero posted an Instagram story on Thursday saying “Excepto judíos: ustedes no son bienvenidos,” then deleted the post and closed her accounts as screenshots spread online.
- The Asociación Pádel Argentino immediately removed her from the national delegation and opened a disciplinary sumario under the Federación Internacional de Pádel code, and the Comité Olímpico Argentino issued a separate public condemnation.
- Media outlets resurfaced earlier posts from 2025 attributed to the same account with similar antisemitic language, prompting authorities to describe the conduct as recurrent rather than an isolated incident.
- Her family initially characterized the message as a ‘bad joke,’ but Guerra Sodero later published a public apology admitting the seriousness and recurrence of her remarks and offering to undertake reparative measures with community authorities.
- The disciplinary process remains open, the player retains the right to defend herself, possible sanctions have not been announced, and the case highlights how national federations and Jewish organizations enforce anti‑discrimination rules for athletes representing Argentina.
