Calls, accounts and demands: the last hours of the candidates fighting for the seat of the ANFP

The article discusses the upcoming election for the presidency of the Chilean Football Association (ANFP), which will take place on November 19th. The new SADP law requires organizational changes, particularly increasing the role of the Chilean Football Federation. The process began with clubs receiving guidelines on September 25th, and the deadline for submitting candidate lists was October 6th at 11:59 PM. Each list must include seven members, including positions like president, vice-president, and treasurer, with three additional directors. Candidates must have experience as club presidents or directors, and each list must include a woman. Three candidates, Lorenzo Antillo, Jorge Uauy, and César Villegas, have publicly announced their intention to run, while Jorge Yunge, the current secretary general, has recently decided to run despite retiring from competition months ago. Villegas is using social media as part of his campaign strategy, though the impact remains unclear since fans do not vote. He addressed concerns about speculation regarding his credibility and emphasized transparency and independence.

Pellegrini is the priority, but... ANFP adds three new candidates to take over in La Roja

The Chilean Football Association (ANFP) is actively considering candidates to lead the national team, La Roja, ahead of the 2030 World Cup. While Manuel Pellegrini remains the top choice, the association has identified three alternative candidates. These include Julen Lopetegui, a former Spanish national team coach and Real Madrid manager with international experience but no background in Chilean football. Two other options are Argentine coaches Nicolás Larcamón and Gustavo Álvarez, both with recent success in Chilean clubs. Larcamón previously coached in Chile, while Álvarez recently won major trophies with Huachipato and Universidad de Chile. The final decision will rest with the new ANFP leadership after November’s elections.
