What do you think of this measure? Argentina’s Security Minister, Alejandra Monteoliva, said it bluntly: “Violent individuals and delinquent child support debtors, out of the stadiums.” And it was not just a phrase — on May 13, 2026, she signed Resolution 429/2026, which turns that warning into law. ⚽🇦🇷

From that day on, anyone listed in the Public Registry of Delinquent Child Support Providers is automatically excluded from the “Tribuna Segura” program, the system that controls access to stadiums throughout the country.

In practice, that means about 13,000 people cannot enter to watch their team until they settle their debt with their children. It does not matter whether the match is at home or away, whether it is a final or a derby: no payment, no entry.

The measure arose from an agreement between the National Government and the City of Buenos Aires, which already had similar restrictions in place. What used to be local is now national. Do you think using passion for soccer as a lever of pressure is the right way to guarantee that children receive what they are entitled to? 💬
