Since then, while the rules of the sport have gradually evolved to the point where VAR is now used, for example , football has more or less retained the same overall constitution and objectives. Racism has been a stain on the soul of soccer for generations but a series of high-profile incidents in recent years has prompted calls for tougher action from football's governing bodies.

A.F.A. - 1ª División - 1937 2 1937 - River Plate, un holgado campeón. Después del ensayo de 1936, año en el que se dividió el campeonato de 34 fechas en dos de 17, consagrando a dos campeones: San Lorenzo y River Plate, en 1937 la AFA decidió volver a los tradicionales torneos largos, con partido y “revancha”. Esta forma de disputa permitió a los equipos grandes, sacar una enorme diferencia a los de menor convocatoria, al punto que entre el primero (River Plate) y el último (Quilmes) hubo 48 puntos de distancia, cuando hubo 68 en disputa. La gran innovación para 1937 fue la implementación, por primera vez en la etapa profesional, de los descensos y ascensos de categoría. La reglamentación estableció que bajarían a la Segunda División los equipos que ocupasen los dos últimos puestos de la tabla de posiciones. Asimismo se dispuso que un solo club de la segunda categoría subiese a la Primera División, por lo que en la temporada 1938, la cantidad de participantes en primera se vería reducido a 17. Desarrollo del torneo. A nadie le extrañó que River Plate fuese uno de los protagonistas del torneo. Lo que sí resultó llamativo fue la facilidad que tuvo el hasta entonces club del barrio de La Boca, para imponerse a sus rivales y sacar una amplia ventaja, que fue incrementando con el correr de las fechas. Para ello se valió de una línea de forwards incontenible, que llegó a marcar 106 goles en 34 partidos.
