The Argentine Football Association announced the end of a 12-year ban on away supporters, originally in place due to violence, including a spectator's death. A staged reintroduction will coincide with the league's upcoming fixtures. AFA president Claudio Tapia noted that this decision is historic and partly driven by the excitement surrounding World Cup winner Ángel Di María’s return. Test events are planned for this weekend, and clubs need approval from authorities to host away fans while ensuring responsible behavior from supporters.

AFA president Claudio Tapia hailed the decision as a historic day, marking the return of visiting fans and motivated in part by World Cup winner Ángel Di María's re-entry into Argentina's top flight.
Test events for this new policy are scheduled, including Di María's presentation at Rosario Central and River Plate's match against Instituto de Cordoba.
Buenos Aires Province Security Minister Javier Alonso emphasized that clubs must obtain approval to host visiting fans and ensure proper behavior from their supporters.
