The Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, traveled with spokesperson Manuel Adorni and was photographed with the head of the AFA. What’s behind the greeting.
One of the political images of this Wednesday was undoubtedly the one starring the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Mileiand the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio Tapia. The photo, unthinkable weeks ago, was within the framework of a meeting they held in Asunción, Paraguay, where it was confirmed that Argentina will host at least one of the 2030 World Cup matches.
At odds with the Government for -among other things- the initiative to promote the Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD), Tapia spoke during the event and adopted a conciliatory tone. “Thank you very much, Secretary General, for having accompanied from the first moment the dream of the Argentines of being able to host this World Cup,” held.
Karina Milei traveled to Asunción accompanied by Manuel Adorni, spokesperson for the libertarian administration and one of her main trusted men in the iron triangle. Tapia waited for them with gifts: a t-shirt for each of the National Team with their first names engraved on the back.
Tapia-Milei: how the meeting took place
From both terminals they confirmed Scope that the exchange was “good and kind.” In fact, the images released show them with a smile. AFA sources even highlighted that “In the Government they have behaved very well with all the bureaucratic part of the papers to be signed” and they highlighted that “they have accompanied” the globalist initiative.
According to what this medium was able to reconstruct, the meeting between the head of the AFA has been brewing for weeks. At first, an invitation to the Ezeiza property was considered, but the opportunity to travel arose and it was Tapia himself who invited the officials.
The political climate is conducive to leaving quarrels behind: the Government is possibly going through the worst moment of its relationship with the PRO and its president, Mauricio Macri. In the Executive, dialogue was cut off with the former president and with the yellow legislators, who were not contacted after the fall of Ficha Cleana.
In this framework, the presidential advisor Santiago Caputo – also at odds with Macri on a personal level – suggested to President Javier Milei that he establish a link with the AFA to the detriment of the president of the PRO, the main interested party in the SAD project.

The meeting is also read as a gesture from the Government towards Tapia, who won before the Court in his claim against Decree 70 that allowed the entry of capital to the clubs.
Sources from Balcarce 50 told this medium that they understand “the importance of not messing with the soccer team” because of the impact it could have on public opinion. Along these same lines, the Government decided not to intervene in the AFA regarding Tapia’s re-election.
So things are, It remains to be seen how Macri digests the photo between the soccer leader and the President’s sister. This Friday, the PRO leader is expected to reappear in public as part of an activity by the Pensar Foundation.
