Argentina has a representative again in the FIFA advice. Claudio Chiqui TapiaPresident of the AFA, was appointed interimly by Conmebol at that position instead of the Brazilian Ednaldo Rodrigues, dismissed by the Brazilian justice. The general secretary of the South American entity, José Astigarraga, already sent Zurich the corresponding documentation.
Chiqui Tapia had already occupied that place, also internally, until 2019. But at that time, he was removed from office after the criticism of the headline against Ecuadorian referee Roddy Zambrano. After the semifinal of the Copa América between Argentina and Brazil, Tapia sent a letter to Alejandro Domínguez, head of Conmebol, in which he questioned Zambrano’s arbitration.
Immediately, Conmebol issued a statement announcing its decline: “Given the severity of the expressions publicly expressed by Mr. Tapia, considering the investiture of his position (…), the Council of Conmebol has resolved to withdraw, with immediate effect, the confidence to Mr. Claudio Tapia to exercise the interim representation of Conmebol before the FIFA Council.”
The relations between Domínguez and Tapia improved and now that this possibility was opened, again the Argentine president returns to a place in the international entity. The San Juan will complete the four -year mandate that Rodrigues had, and which concluded in 2027. The Brazilian had been designated in the 2023 FIFA Congress held in Kigali, Rwanda, and if he was maintained up to the next two years, only in the Congress of 2027 he can apply to hold the position as a holder and no longer interim.
