Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, president of the AFA, has set his domicile in a municipal plot in Pilar where the Argentine Football Association's museum is under construction. Controversy arises over an error in the address numbering, though the organization is proceeding with its new headquarters. The property and construction machinery belong to the Pilar Municipality.
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) is continuing construction of its museum on a plot in Pilar, Buenos Aires Province. Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, the current president of the organization, has established his domicile on this property, which fully belongs to the Pilar Municipality. Reports indicate that the machinery used in the work, such as cranes and bulldozers, is also municipal and has been operating even under adverse weather conditions, like recent rain.
The news has sparked controversy mainly due to an error in the numbering of the domicile registered by Tapia. Despite this irregularity, the AFA has not halted its plans to set up this new headquarters, which includes the museum dedicated to the history of Argentine football. The plot is under active development, with ongoing works aimed at consolidating the AFA's institutional presence in the area.
This situation highlights the collaboration between the AFA and local authorities, though the administrative error has raised questions about the formality of the procedures. No official statements from Tapia or the AFA have been reported regarding the matter, but progress on the construction suggests the project is proceeding without interruptions.
