Relief in Alta losing Cordoba: AFA managed to only have two teams in the category

After 21 dates of the current tournament, which had three declines planned, two by averages and the rest by annual table, today everything changed.

The AFA Extraordinary Assembly resolved that 28 teams remain for next season and two will be relegated. Unanimously, this year only two clubs will go to Nacional. The worst of the averages and the last of the General 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.

Institute is benefited?

Today Institute, would be saved. The meager results mean that in the table of averages it is one of the teams that would lose the category if the tournament ends on this date.

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. Faced with this situation, Alejandro Medina, captain of Arsenal, 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 relegation it will be a benefit for us. It would come in handy for us. barbaric 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.

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 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, then it would not be 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,” holds
