The match of the Argentine championship was interrupted due to a collision at the entrance to the stadium. There were no casualties.
The relationship between fans and the police in football throughout modern history is far from warm – incidents with sad consequences regularly occur around the world.
No sooner had the world moved away from the tragedy in Indonesia, where almost 200 people died as a result of a stampede after the match and inadequate actions of law enforcement officers, as another police lawlessness led to a terrible incident in Argentina.
Due to the actions of the police, who used rubber bullets and tear gas against the fans, the Argentine championship match was interrupted.
Unfortunately, there were no casualties…
On October 7, at the very beginning of the meeting of the 23rd round of the second phase of the Argentinean Examples between the Gimnasia and Esgrima and Boca Juniors clubs, the referees interrupted the game due to tear gas that entered the stadium bowl. At that time, at the entrance to the arena, a conflict between an angry crowd and the police was raging with might and main – some of the fans could not get to the match, although they had tickets in their hands. The indignation of the fans turned into a brawl, which the police decided to stop using harsh methods.
Law enforcement officers fired rubber bullets and tear gas at the crowd, which eventually hit the field and affected the players, coaching staff and referees, as well as fans in the stands. Already in the ninth minute of the first half, the referee Hernan Mastranhelo interrupted the meeting, which they subsequently decided not to finish.
My 2 year old son couldn’t breathe because of the tear gas. We feel despair and worry about all the people in the stands. This is madness. We played a regular football match, everything almost turned into a huge tragedy, we had a feeling that our relatives could die, one of the fans told ESPN.
Unfortunately, the conflict between the police and the fans led to a tragedy: a 57-year-old man died of cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital. Boca Juniors has already issued a statement:
We regret the passing of Cesar Regueiro, a supporter of the team, who died after an incident outside the stadium. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends. We condemn these actions and call for deep reflection on the situation,” the club said in a statement.
It is difficult to say whether such harsh actions of the police against the fans were justified. The hot temper of Latin Americans is known to the whole world, the news of a skirmish at a football stadium is no surprise there. However, as Boca Juniors rightly noted, all those involved should think carefully about such a situation.

Russian Football Federation (RFU) hopes that the International Football Federation (FIFA) will follow the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (THAT IS) subject to the admission of youth teams. The Secretary General spoke about it in an interview RFU Maxim Mitrofanov.
In December THAT IS recommended removing all restrictions for young Russian athletes and allowing them to participate in all competitions with the anthem and flag.
“This recommendation has become an important event for all Russian sports. We see that in many sports international federations are making decisions on the admission of our athletes,” Mitrofanov said. “And there are more and more such decisions.” Recommendation THAT IS plays an important role in this process. Let’s proceed from the fact that FIFA this recommendation will be heeded.”
“At the same time, it is important to understand that the popularity and attention, including at the state and political level, towards different sports in Europe are different. The large international basketball, hockey and football federations are more careful in analyzing the decisions they make. They probably already realized that they have overdone it in 2022. Now it is even more difficult for them to get out of this situation, also because they are afraid of facing the position of a large number of countries which, at the state level, will hinder the implementation decisions about our return,” Mitrofanov added.
Russian clubs and national teams have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

Invitation from the Togliatti Akron striker Artem Dziuba joining the Russian national football team was a positive event. This opinion was expressed in an interview by the general secretary of the Russian Football Federation (RFU) Maxim Mitrofanov.
In March Dzyuba scored against the Grenada team (5:0) and passed Alexandra Kerzakova in terms of goals for the Russian national team, he scored 31 goals.
“I rate it positively [приглашение Дзюбы в сборную]. I think it was a good decision by our coach [Валерия Карпина]Mitrofanov said. “The footballer deserves this opportunity. I am quite relaxed in counting records, but for the players and fans this plays a role. It is also important that the coach allowed the player to prove himself, showing that he had no conflict with Artem.”
“He is a good guy and a good footballer and he took the story very positively. He managed to score, it was clear from Artem’s emotions that he really wanted it,” Mitrofanov added.
In December Kerzhakov announced on his Telegram channel that he had sent a request to the International Football Federation (FIFA) about the authorship of the second goal of the Russian team in the friendly match against the German team on June 8, 2005 (2:2). If RFU admits that the goal was not scored Andrei Arshavinand Kerzhakov, then he will again share first place with Dzyuba.
