The Unión por la Patria candidate asserted that if he is elected president, the league parties will have both fans “because it is another spectacle.” Only locals have been attending for a decade.
The minister of Economy and presidential candidate Union for the Homeland (UxP), Sergio Massaanticipated this Wednesday that if he becomes President of the Nation, he will “make visitors return” to Argentine soccer stadiums.
“They ask me, what am I going to do with football? I’m going to do that the visitors come back. Seriously”Massa slipped in the talk he had with the streamer Gerónimo “Momo” Benavídez.
On June 10, 2013, the AFA temporarily determined that there would be no visiting public in the stadiums after the death of Lanús fan Javier Jerez, at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium, during the match between Estudiantes and Lanús.
The measure remained unchanged over the years and had the endorsement of several Argentine soccer leaders, despite the fact that violence in the stadiums did not definitively cease, for example with some clashes between factions of the same group.
“It’s another show”added Massa regarding the framework imposed by the presence of visiting fans in each local soccer match.
In recent times, the figure of “neutral fan” was imposed in games with large crowds to generate greater ticket sales.
Thus, stadiums such as Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza or Madre de Ciudades in Santiago del Estero accommodated this variant when teams like Godoy Cruz or Central Córdoba had teams from large clubs such as Boca Juniors or River Plate as rivals.
