Stefano Di Carlo Wins River Plate Presidency With 61.77% in Record Turnout

The 36-year-old executive takes office Monday, continuing the ruling project through 2029.

Overview

  • A club record 25,890 members voted at the Monumental in an election that used a single electronic ballot for the first time.
  • Di Carlo will be joined by vice presidents Andrés Ballotta, Ignacio Villarroel and Mariano Taratuty under the Frente Filosofía River banner.
  • At 36, he becomes the youngest River president since Antonio Vespucio Liberti’s 1933 tenure.
  • His immediate agenda centers on the first team’s form, the push for Copa Libertadores qualification, the Nov. 9 Superclásico at La Bombonera, and a post-season review of Marcelo Gallardo’s role, which he has publicly backed.
  • The result extends the leadership line of Rodolfo D’Onofrio and Jorge Brito, with a four-year term to 2029 under rules that bar immediate re-election.
