Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming visit to Buenos Aires has sparked political and social tensions, with local groups expressing concerns over security and the Vatican's stance on recent Argentine policies, per Buenos Aires Herald.

The Pope’s trip follows a diplomatic row between Argentina and Brazil after Brazilian President Flávio Bolsonaro allegedly escaped a scandal involving his associates, which Argentina denies, Bloomberg reports.

Flight GLO7709 is climbing out of Buenos Aires at 4,850 ft, heading northeast, as the city prepares for heightened international attention due to the papal visit.

A new format for Argentina’s top football league has been approved by AFA, shifting to a 30-team round-robin structure, as reported by BA Times.
