Rosario Central Sanctioned With Flag Ban and AFA Fine Over Obscene Banners

Provincial security imposed targeted limits for the Talleres match following obscene banners directed at Newell's coach Cristian Fabbiani.

Overview

  • Santa Fe’s Ministry of Security set restrictions for Sunday at the Gigante: no flags in the river‑side platea or the Popular Regatas, and no wind or percussion instruments in Regatas.
  • The AFA disciplinary tribunal imposed a financial penalty equivalent to 500 tickets, estimated at about 15 million pesos.
  • Minister Pablo Cococcioni framed the response as a system of rewards and punishments tied to incidents at recent matches.
  • Rosario Central’s board repudiated the displays and vowed to prevent a repeat, and president Gonzalo Belloso issued a public apology to Cristian Fabbiani.
  • Two obscene banners targeting the Newell’s coach appeared during the Boca match and quickly circulated on social media.
