The legal status of Argentinian football clubs as "asociaciones civiles" means they are non-profit civil associations, making them less attractive to private investors who seek control.
The Argentinian Football Association argued that privately managing clubs would undermine their socio-cultural role, which extends beyond football to funding sports, cultural, and educational initiatives.
Judge Elpidio Portocarrero stated, "No person who has gone through the life of a sports and social club can deny the transcendental importance it has had for their development."
Milei's decree was seen as an obvious interference of the state in private entities, violating numerous constitutional articles according to the AFA's appeal.
