An insight to how Argentina began preparations to host the 1970 World Cup.
Huracán c. Unión 1a. 5.7.70 Expte. 2384
Tomás Sánchez de Bustamante, a club member of Huracán, threatened the life of a referee and is promptly banned from attending any match for two years. It is unclear if AFA possessed the ability to prevent his entry to stadiums; however, it is worth…

Integración de comisión
AFA, which feels that only amateur soccer is under the government's control of Olympic sports, declines the offer for COA to assess the miserable performance of the national team at the World Cup. It shows a degree of government influence, but also…
Orden en los estadios
Perhaps as a way to quell public concerns over safety at soccer stadiums, AFA decrees various measures to protect fans, players, and officials: banning the entry of bottles, controlling the sale of tickets, and separation of sections of the stadium.
