It’s official: the AFA managed to eliminate a relegation this season

In the last hours in the Extraordinary assembly Delaware AFA The reduction from three to two relegations for the current season was resolved after the 21-day dispute of the first tournament of the year.

Previously, three decreases had been forecast, two by averages and the rest by annual table. It is worth noting that if it is the same team, a situation that is currently happening to the Arsenal de Sarandí squad, the team that will lose the category will be the penultimate in the annual table.

What were the reasons given by the AFA

From the governing body of national football they maintain that having 28 clubs in the first place aligns with a trend that comes from the fifa and conmebol. “Both the World Cup and the Conmebol international cups go to more teams.”

In this way, the promoters justify this decision against the criticisms that have been presented in recent weeks. “If the descents were consumed and a change was made, there it would be little serious. But in this instance, when we have not yet reached 50 percent of the season, the change does not affect anyone and it does not modify something that brings consequences.”, he maintains.

Who are the main beneficiaries?

As previously noted, the worst placed is Arsenal. With this new arrangement, the team that would go down to the second division would be Banfield, who would be located in the penultimate position of the annual table. Instituto de Córdoba, for its part, would be saved.

Faced with this situation, Alejandro Medina in statements for DSports Radio said: “If they remove a relegation, we are going to save ourselves. What I am going to say is selfish, but if they remove a drop it will be a benefit for us. It would be great for us to continue believing that there is hope of saving us.”

The cases of Platense, Sarmiento and Central Córdoba, who have not had good returns, benefit from this new alternative and also alert them in the immediate future.
