River Plate se ha retirado de forma sensacional del Comité Ejecutivo de la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA), alegando falta de transparencia y garantías procesales. El equipo de Buenos Aires ha decidido distanciarse del organismo rector justo cuando comienza una huelga nacional de clubes en respuesta a una investigación federal por evasión fiscal. Aunque el club sigue comprometido con ciertos principios de la AFA, ha exigido una revisión completa de la forma en que se gobierna el fútbol nacional.
Edinson Cavani ha sido sinónimo de goleador de élite durante más de una década, pero puede que finalmente se esté acabando una de las carreras más prolíficas del fútbol moderno. El jugador de 39 años, que actualmente milita en el Boca Juniors argentino, ha recibido un ultimátum para colgar las botas. El uruguayo, que en su día fue el ídolo de Old Trafford y un héroe en Nápoles y París, se encuentra ahora en el ocaso de su carrera, cada vez más difícil, ya que su forma física y su rendimiento siguen decayendo en Sudamérica.
En una sorprendente decisión que ha conmocionado al fútbol sudamericano, los clubes profesionales de Argentina han acordado colectivamente ir a la huelga. La decisión, anunciada el lunes, es una protesta directa contra lo que las autoridades futbolísticas han calificado de «persecución judicial» dirigida al presidente de la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA), Claudio Tapia. El paro laboral paralizará el fútbol nacional entre el 5 y el 8 de marzo.
