Argentina’s soccer season on hold due to massive debts

“This is the week Argentine soccer fans usually relish – the days leading to the start of the season. Not this time. It seems that one of the world’s most fanatical soccer countries will have to live without its game. For a few days, a week, a month. Nobody knows. Massive debt, estimated at $182-million (all figures US) for the 20 top-tier clubs, has forced the Argentine Football Association to scrap the Aug. 14 start of the season for all divisions. AFA officials have been scrambling for more than a week for an answer to the crisis.” (National Post)
