The mayor of Formosa city, Jorge Jofré, held a meeting with officials from Argentinos Juniors to strengthen institutional football ties. The meeting, reported by outlet Guau Formosa, took place this week and included the club's second vice-president Kevin Libsfraint and Gender Secretary Vanina Sánchez.
What was discussed in the meeting?
The conversation focused on the current state of Argentine football and initiatives related to youth categories and women's football. Jorge Jofré, who also presides over the Formoseña Football League, highlighted the growth of football activity in the province, which brings together nearly 60 clubs. The 'Don Antonio Romero' stadium was mentioned as one of the main venues for the sport's development in the region.
The exchange allowed for sharing experiences on the social role of sport. They discussed the importance of creating spaces for training, inclusion, and support for children, adolescents, and young people. Argentinos Juniors, historically recognized for its work in player development, maintains an identity linked to its youth academy. This approach aims to generate new links that could contribute to increasing future generations of local football.
How is the Argentinos Juniors squad looking?
While officials talked about development, the Argentinos Juniors first team is preparing for its upcoming fixtures. The squad, which can be viewed on the official squad page, features key figures like forward Gabriel Ávalos and midfielder Franco Moyano. The team currently holds a mid-table position in the Liga Profesional standings, with mixed results so far in the 2026 season.
A relevant fact is the team's defensive solidity at home. In its last five matches at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, El Bicho has conceded only three goals. This strength will be tested in the next official challenge.
What is the team's next match?
Argentinos Juniors will travel to face Unión de Santa Fe next Sunday, September 13th. This away match represents a significant challenge in the quest for points to climb the table. All upcoming fixtures are available in our fixtures section.
The meeting in Formosa shows the club's commitment to grassroots football beyond immediate results. Youth academy work is a cornerstone of Argentinos Juniors' identity. The first team, meanwhile, will aim to take three points when they visit the Estadio 15 de Abril.
