AFA Greenlights Pilot Return of Away Fans for Two Primera Nacional Matches

The controlled test signals a step toward rolling back a near 20-year ban if operations run safely.

Overview

  • AFA, which announced the pilot on Wednesday, will allow away sections at Quilmes–Nueva Chicago and ColegialesTemperley in Primera Nacional.
  • Both matches are slated for Sunday, April 19, with Chicago set to visit Quilmes at the Estadio Centenario and Temperley to travel to Munro.
  • The plan was set with Buenos Aires security, with Minister Javier Alonso and APreViDe chief Guillermo Cimadevila named by AFA for their role.
  • Police operations will be tight, and any wider rollout will hinge on fan behavior inside and outside the grounds.
  • The move follows round‑nine trials in interior provinces and tests a reversal of a visitor ban that dates to 2007 after deadly violence.
