Asuncion, IP Agency.- The red and white team from Afemec defeated Olimpia 6-1 in the repeat match in the semi-final stages of the FIFA Futsal national championship, and will play in the grand final once morest Cerro Porteño.
We must remember that the FIFA futsal sports court ordered that the semi-final return match be played once more, following a protest by the franjeado team that lost the match 3 to 2.
The measure of the APF punitive body sparked a wave of discontent, not only from the affected club, which had qualified following tying the return match 0-0 and winning the first leg, and was forced to play once more.
Initially, Afemec considered withdrawing from the championship, but in the end the majority of the board members were in favour of presenting the team but also making their indignation public. One way of doing this was to form the team with a black jersey and the legend “futsal is dead”.
One of the strong criticisms of the court’s decision that was heard on AFEMEC’s social networks, points out that the “chonguismo” prevailing in the APF was “hardly rejected.”
The same message also states: «AFEMEC gave Olimpia a tremendous slap in the face in FIFA Futsal, defeating them 6-1 and also eliminating them. This match was replayed due to an unprecedented resolution by the APF, due to a protest filed by Olimpia. The APF’s chonguismo left a disastrous precedent in FIFA Futsal in our country, for not having respected the result on the field. AFEMEC will play the final once morest Cerro Porteño.»
