In early September 2026, the Belgrano club proposed a comprehensive modernization of its Social Statute, marking the first major regulatory update in thirty years. The proposal sought to restructure government terms, increase the number of vice presidents, and simplify membership categories while lowering the minimum voting age to 16.

Around the same time, the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires moved toward broader institutional support by granting initial approval to a bill establishing a Special Regime for the Adaptation and Regularization of neighborhood clubs. This legislative initiative aims to assist local sports and social institutions with administrative and urban regularization through simplified procedures, debt forgiveness for certain fines, and access to preferential credit lines.
