Overview
- Argentina’s league organizers introduced a new recognition for the club with the most points over the Apertura and Clausura, and Rosario Central finished first with 66 to receive the trophy and add a star to its crest.
- The AFA and LPF presented the move as a Committee Executive decision and said the Supercopa Internacional will not be held.
- Estudiantes de La Plata publicly stated that no vote took place, contradicting the AFA’s claim of unanimity and intensifying questions about transparency.
- The LPF clarified that the new recognition does not grant extra continental berths and leaves existing qualification criteria unchanged.
- A Rosario Central delegation led by president Gonzalo Belloso with Ariel Holan, Ángel Di María and Jorge Broun collected the cup at AFA offices, as online reaction featured ridicule and criticism of the process.
