This was confirmed by the Secretary of Public Security of the Province, Marcos Romerowho explained the refusal due to the change of command in the Government, scheduled for the day after the football match.
“Usually nothing ever happens, but when it happens we always say ‘how this was not planned’. If it happens, we are leaving a problem for the incoming management,” Romero explained in a radio interview.
“A query came from Newell’s (to play the semi-final at the Marcelo Bielsa) and we told them to wait for our response because the League had not communicated. We found out about the confirmation from some flyers: on the part of the League we were totally unconsulted “explained the official on Cadena 3.
The refusal four days before the game means a change in logistics for the organization, the teams and even the fans who may have already bought tickets or made accommodation reservations.
“We are not going to collaborate on this date on Saturday, not because we have not been notified, we can ignore that. They are going to have to find another location.. The League should have had the date we are on, there will be a change of authorities, it is a complicated date,” Romero highlighted.
The official reiterated that this is not a slight for the confirmation of the headquarters without approval and highlighted the predisposition of the government he represents on other occasions.
“The League always talks to the clubs, the clubs consult us and that’s how the dialogue with the clubs and the League begins. It was always a very well-oiled dialogue, I couldn’t say it’s the other way around. With the Argentine Cup, the Province of Santa Fe “He always opened the doors for these games to go ahead. It is not a lack of will, but a matter of neatness,” Romero concluded.
For now, the Professional Football League announced the change of venue for the match that will define one of the finalists of the Cup that will close the 2023 season.
