Tapia called for the focus to stay on football in the annual table decider
After the joint press conference between Boca, Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central, the AFA president sent a message about the atmosphere surrounding the annual table decider and urged people to move away from refereeing controversies.
The definition of the annual table added a strong voice from the AFA. Claudio Tapia expressed his wish that the end of the championship be played with more attention on the sporting side, in a context in which Boca, Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central shared a press conference ahead of the final stretch.
Tapia's message amid the decider
The AFA president was clear in outlining what he expects for these decisive days on the calendar. His stance was aimed at preventing the public conversation from being dominated by issues unrelated to the game.
Claudio Tapia, president of the AFA: “Let football be talked about, not refereeing”.
In that same vein, he added an idea that sought to bring order to the competitive atmosphere around the final stretch of the tournament.
Claudio Tapia, president of the AFA: “There is no need to spread things that do not exist, there is no need to predispose people badly, we have to enjoy football”.
A finale with Boca, Argentinos and Central in focus
Tapia's reference came after a joint press conference between Boca, Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central, three protagonists mentioned on the eve of the definition of the annual table. The message from the head of Argentine football's governing body sought to frame that moment with a tone more focused on the competition than on off-field debate.
For now, the confirmed information is that institutional position from the AFA and the context of the decider involving those three clubs. Without adding scenarios or speculation, the idea Tapia left was to keep the focus on what happens on the pitch.
