Argentina's top-flight football league, AFA, has approved a new 30-team round-robin format for the upcoming season, per Buenos Aires Herald.

The move marks a significant structural change in Argentine football, aiming to enhance competition and expand the league's reach across the country.

Meanwhile, Brazil has summoned an Argentine diplomat over comments made by Flávio Bolsonaro regarding the escape of a former Brazilian official, Bloomberg reports.

Argentina denies the diplomatic summons, escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries.
