Argentine football refereeing governance conflicts

Overview

The governance of Argentine football refereeing is characterized by structural conflicts of interest between the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the Argentine Referees Association (AAA). Key officials, such as Federico Beligoy, hold dual roles as both the AFA manager of refereeing and the Secretary General of the AAA, effectively acting as both employer and union representative.

These overlapping positions have led to internal disputes, including criticisms from referees regarding the lack of union support during disciplinary actions taken by the AFA. While leadership in the union has remained stable since 2013, the dual roles of officials like Beligoy and Sergio Zoratti continue to define the administrative landscape of the sport.
