Argentine Club Faces Backlash for Starting YouTuber in League Match
The Argentine justice department is investigating potential illegal sports betting links after Deportivo Riestra fielded influencer Iván Buhajeruk, known as "Spreen," in a match against Velez Sarsfield. Despite having no professional football experience, Spreen was briefly played as a striker, raising concerns about the integrity of the game. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has also opened proceedings, and Riestra apologized for the marketing stunt, which they claim was not intended to disrespect the sport.
