The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has banned away fans from attending football matches after the death of a supporter. The ban will apply across the country in all divisions of Argentine football. On Monday, a supporter of visiting club Lanus was killed as fans and riot police clashed in the city of La Plata, during a match against Estudiantes. More than 70 football supporters have been killed in Argentina since the year 2000. For the first time in Argentina's history, only home fans will be allowed into the grounds. Buenos Aires authorities had already announced a ban on away fans in the province in response to the incident in La Plata. But the AFA, with the support of the Argentine government, decided to extend the restrictions nationwide until new measures are taken to put an end to violence.
