During a second-division football match in Argentina between Club Atlético All Boys and Club Atlético Atlanta, fans of All Boys engaged in actions widely condemned as antisemitic. Prior to the match, which ended in a 0-0 draw, All Boys supporters paraded a coffin draped with the Israeli flag through the streets and displayed Palestinian and Iranian flags. Atlanta is closely associated with Argentina's Jewish community. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) denounced these acts and launched an investigation into the incidents. The Buenos Aires city government has imposed sanctions on All Boys, including playing home matches without spectators for an indefinite period. Additionally, ten supporters were punished for their conduct, and a criminal complaint was filed by the government of Buenos Aires. The events have drawn attention from various organizations, including the Anti-Defamation League, which labeled the acts as antisemitism rather than sports-related folklore. The controversy has prompted ongoing investigations and legal actions related to the incident.
