Velez does not go through the best present. The team led by Cacique Medina had a commendable performance in the Copa Libertadores after reaching the semifinals where they fell to Flamengo, but at the local level, the story is totally different. The fortin finished in last place after losing to leaders Boca Juniors on Sunday.

Only 48 hours later, the Liniers team was active again. This time for the date 23 of the Professional League, Banfield was local at the stadium Joseph Amalfitani. In that sense, some images went viral on social networks in the last hours in which it was possible to see that the stage was not disassembled where the king of reggaeton appeared Daddy Yankee last Saturday and in which in a few days the ragman will do it Duki (It will be next October 6 and 7).

For organizational reasons, the structure was not removed. In the photo you can see how the stage, which is behind one of the arches, was located very close to the field of play. For a security issue, several mats were placed in order to avoid injuries in the event that a footballer hits the protection.

It must be remembered that the Velez court is one of the most used outdoor venues in Argentina by national or international singers. Such is the case that, on November 4 and 5, it will be Bad Bunny. And in March 2023, the artist who will perform on the pitch at El Fortín will be Lali Esposito.

Given the commotion and the jokes that were triggered on social networks due to the situation, the club promised to make a statement through a statement. Beyond the explanation, the situation gave the match for the Professional League a curious attraction that it would not have offered if the stage had been dismantled, as happens every time a show is held at the Liniers stadium.

Regarding this fact, the Professional League strongly repudiated the Vélez Sarsfield club with the following statement:

The Professional Soccer League expresses its disagreement and repudiation of the ways in which Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield has handled itself so that its home game against Banfield, for Date 23 of the Binance Tournament, is played in a totally irregular and inappropriate setting for a competition that aims to provide the best conditions for spectators.

It is important to highlight that the club never requested authorization from the LPF for the development of this show with similar anomalies on the outskirts of the field of play, nor did it present the supporting documentation in advance to report this situation. Action that he did carry out alone and surreptitiously before the Control Organisms, on September 19, which approved the dispute of the match, informing the League of the situation hours before the match was held, when there was no real time to suspend it or postpone it.

It should be noted that the LPF will no longer authorize the holding of its League matches in scenarios with such serious anomalies. If such a situation were to repeat itself, the host club will directly suffer the change of scenery of said match.
