Stefano Di Carlo Elected River Plate President in Record Member Vote

The 36-year-old inherits a four-year, non-renewable term with a mandate to revive the first team's form.

Overview

  • More than 25,000 members voted at the Monumental in the club’s first election using a single electronic ballot.
  • Di Carlo will take office on Monday, becoming the club’s youngest leader since Antonio Vespucio Liberti in 1933.
  • His administration extends the ruling coalition’s project from the D’Onofrio and Brito years, prioritizing a recovery in results under coach Marcelo Gallardo.
  • Andrés Ballotta, Ignacio Villarroel and Mariano Taratuty will serve as vice presidents on the incoming board.
  • A 2023 reform limits the presidency to a single four-year term, placing Di Carlo’s mandate through late 2029.
