Фото: copaamerica.com/ The President of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio Tapia, remained firm regarding the possibility of the “Finalissima” match between Argentina and Spain being relocated to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid. On a day filled with specific rumors of such a move, the head of the Argentine football association initiated a counterattack from Buenos Aires. The Spanish side expressed a serious desire for the match between the European and South American champions to be held on their territory.
However, Tapia strongly opposed the idea of the match being played on the opponent’s home ground. The president of AFA wants the match to take place at the “Monumental” stadium in Buenos Aires. Claudio Tapia appeared at the “Commodore Pio” judicial complex today to give a statement regarding a purported concealment within AFA.
Before entering the building, the top Argentine football official was greeted by the media and used the moment to send a clear message to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and UEFA. “We did what the referee asked, that’s why we were called. We’ll fight for it because Spain wants the final to be played in Spain, and I want it to be played at the ‘Monumental’,” stated the leading Argentine football official.
This statement is a clear demonstration of disagreement with the possibility of the final being played on the opponent’s home ground. The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) seeks a compromise. They want the prestigious clash to be held in another European destination, with Lisbon and Rome among the discussed locations.
