Argentine Local Football Leagues Propose Governance Reforms

The Liga de Fútbol of Coronel Dorrego, led by president Diego Bertone, discussed creating a district‑level commission to inspect playing fields, especially when weather conditions raise safety concerns. Each locality would appoint its own committee to evaluate stadiums, and the proposal includes a modest increase in general admission fees from 5,000 to 6,000 pesos.

In the neighboring Liga de Fútbol of Olavarría, president Ricardo Hoffmann and vice‑president Pablo Palahy reviewed their first year in office. They announced a new system that updates referee fees quarterly based on INDEC‑reported inflation, and a random draw to assign referees to matches for greater transparency. The league also approved merit‑based qualification for the Regional Federal Amateur tournament and plans to amend its statutes, including extending officials’ terms from one to two years.
