His lucidity to analyze football intact and his warm voice in the ear returned to flood the television screen this Wednesday. The return of Enrique Macaya Marquez to comments on a broadcast of a soccer match, for the first time since the World Cup final Russia in 2018, was acclaimed by everyone, in times where screams and histrionic sentences seem to have dominated the scene. The famous journalist was present at the triumph of Racing contra Bragantino of Brazil for the South American Cup, where he also received recognition from the Academy for his career.
Members of the Board of Directors of the Avellaneda group, among whom were Alfredo Chiodini y Barbara Whitethey approached the broadcast booth before the match to give a plaque to Macaya Márquez, 89 years old.
“My last recognition was at the World Cup in Qatar by FIFA and now Racing is present again, as it was in many moments of my life. We were just remembering historic matches and I forgot to mention the Centenario match and Chango Cárdenas’ goal (to become Intercontinental champion for the first time). I was inside the court“he recalled.
“I thank you very much. My feeling is the ball, it is football,” said Macaya Márquez.
“I wasn’t so unaccustomed to going to the court or not going to the court”Macaya had commented, and explained that due to a matter of time he had not been able to return to television broadcasts, but having received the offer of DSports -who had the exclusivity to broadcast the meeting-, did not hesitate: “I am interested in commenting on it and seeing it a little closer.”
The legendary Argentine journalist Throughout his career, he covered 17 soccer World Cups, a feat never before accomplished that was recognized by FIFA. Since that first flight to Sweden that “arrived by miracle” in 1958, Macaya witnessed all the World Cups that Argentina won, and among his favorite teams are the national teams of ’78 and ’86.
At 89 years old, Macaya Márquez received several recognitions throughout her career for her dedication and commitment to her profession, including the 1987 Konex Award and the Konex Platinum 1997. He went through countless media outlets such as Radio 10, Belgrano (with whom he covered his first World Cup in 1958), Mitre, Rivadavia, Página 12, La Nación, among many others.
