It was reported by Jorge Rial in his X account, who detailed that the Argentine Football Association understands that there was a breach of contract because they were not allowed to pass the final through the application. “This adds to the gross technical failures,” he added.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) terminated the contract with ESPN Argentina for broadcasting rights to the Super Cup. The explanation has to do with a “breach of contract”, since It was only broadcast on Star+ and not through the cable signal as requested.
The end of the AFA contract with ESPN
The information was communicated Jorge Rial in his X account (exTwitter) and explained that “everything was as a result of the River vs Estudiantes final. “I couldn’t transmit it through the app and I did it anyway.”. He did not give more details, but it is speculated that this could be applied to new Super Cups and not to the tournament.
Awaiting confirmation on the decision to end the ESPN contract
Confirmation from the entity that regulates football or from the sports signal itself remains to be confirmed. The driver added: “This adds to the gross technical failures” that occurred during the broadcast, which the fans also denounced.
Through a statement, The AFA stated that Torneos y Competencias breached the agreement with the entity. “The Argentine Football Association informs that the transmission of the final match of the Super Cup played yesterday between the clubs River Plate and Estudiantes de La Plata carried out exclusively through the ‘Star+’ platform constitutes a clear breach of the agreement for the organization and operation of the tournament signed with the company Torneos y Competencias SA,” he said.
What also remains to be confirmed is, if this also applies to the League Cup, what will happen to River’s matches?
