River Plate Sets Nov. 1 Presidential Vote With Record Eligible Membership

Officialist Stefano Di Carlo frames the choice around on‑field recovery, support for Marcelo Gallardo, plus a conditional plan to roof the Monumental.

Overview

  • Roughly 87,000 members are reported as eligible to vote in Saturday’s election at the Monumental, which will choose Jorge Brito’s successor and could eclipse the club’s 2021 turnout.
  • Five lists are on the ballot: Stefano Di Carlo (Filosofía River), Daniel Kiper (River Campeón Deportivo y Social), Carlos Trillo (River Somos Todos), Luis Belli (River Primero) and Pablo Lunati (Ficha Limpia en River).
  • Di Carlo said restoring sporting results is the absolute priority and voiced continued support for coach Marcelo Gallardo after a difficult run.
  • He described an advanced project to roof the stadium that contemplates about 15,000 additional places and a potential capacity above 100,000, asserting it is financed with “genuine resources” without cutting planned football investment.
  • In parallel governance and sporting updates, San Lorenzo president Marcelo Moretti was cited to an indagatoria on Nov. 6 after a suspension was revoked, Toluca said Alexis Vega will miss about 3–4 weeks with a grade II hamstring injury, and Orlando City announced Pedro Gallese will depart at the end of 2025.
