On Monday (27), the president of the Argentine Soccer Association (AFA), Chiqui Tapia, confirmed the cancellation of the season in Argentine soccer. In an interview with the newspaper ‘Olé’, the agent anticipated information that is about to become official next Tuesday (28).

We are going to close the tournaments.

At that time, the Superliga Cup was being played: Boca Juniors was the champion of the Argentine Championship. The competition adds points for the season and would define, in a classification table joining the first phase of the Super League Cup and Argentina, the teams that would be relegated and the places for continental competitions.

Currently with 24 teams, the Argentine Championship will receive accesses, leaving 28 clubs. Only in 2022 the reduction will happen again. Currently, Gymnastics La Plata, Board of Trustees and Central Córdoba would fall in the “averages”, average score of the last three seasons, method used in Argentina to define the relegated.

Already thinking of 2021 Libertadores, Boca Juniors, River Plate, Racing and Argentinos Juniors are guaranteed in continental competition. For the South American, Vélez Sarsfield, San Lorenzo, Newell’s Old Boys, Workshops, Defense and Justice and Lanús will represent Argentina.

However, there is an open spot in the Libertadores due to the Argentina Cup. The intention of the AFA is to compete in the competition when soccer can be played again, but if the tournament has to be interrupted, the solution could be to give Vélez a place, which would go to Libertadores. With that, the Union would receive the vacancy for the South American.
