Argentine LPF News
Veteran defender Nicolás Otamendi has signed a contract with River Plate to return to the Argentine league as a free agent from Benfica.
After River Plate presented a project to roof its Monumental Stadium, arch-rival Boca Juniors announced it will expand the capacity of La Bombonera in the stadium's biggest ever makeover.
Professional clubs in Argentina have agreed to strike from March 5-8 in protest against what they consider judicial persecution of Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia.
River Plate has announced a massive expansion of the Monumental Stadium, increasing its capacity to 101,000 spectators in a move that will make it one of the largest soccer venues in the world.
