Vélez arrived at the Amalfitani in private cars over unpaid bonuses
Vélez’s squad and coaching staff decided not to board the team bus before the match against Tigre and arrived at the stadium in 19 private cars. The move was linked to unpaid bonuses owed by the board to the group.
The atmosphere at Vélez was marked by an unusual measure before the clash with Tigre: the squad and coaching staff refused to get on the bus and went to the Amalfitani in 19 private cars. The decision was a clear sign of the internal unrest over unpaid bonuses that the board owes the group.
Instead of turning up with the usual matchday logistics, the players and coaching staff chose to make their own way there and also did so without the club’s kit. That gesture reflected the tension behind the scenes and served as an organized protest before they went out to play.
According to the information available, the Vélez board owes bonuses to the squad and coaching staff. That was the origin of the rebellion seen before facing Tigre in the Torneo Clausura.
The protest left a clear image: the group chose to show its displeasure with a visible, coordinated show of force. Arriving in private vehicles instead of the club bus exposed a complaint that could no longer go unnoticed.
