A conflict has erupted between Argentine President Javier Milei and Claudio Tapia, the president of the Argentine Soccer Association, over corruption allegations. Tapia faces accusations of selling complimentary World Cup tickets for approximately USD 850, violating regulations that restrict such tickets to invitations only. Amid ongoing investigations, Tapia was granted a bond of 30 million pesos (around USD 20,000) to travel abroad, including attending the World Cup in North America. Reports indicate that federal prosecutors are scrutinizing the AFA's financial operations in the U.S., particularly concerning a company linked to alleged mismanagement of AFA funds. Milei has been vocal in his criticism of Tapia, asserting that corruption within the soccer administration is worsening. The president's administration has also proposed privatizing the soccer business, which has led to further tensions between the two. Tapia, in response, emphasized his commitment to improving the sport and maintaining his leadership amid these challenges.
