Alberto Barbieri

Alberto Barbieri is a prominent Argentine educator and academic known for his tenure as the rector of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Latin America. His recent involvement in the establishment of the Universidad de la Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (UnAFA) has drawn attention, especially following government scrutiny over the university's legal status and authorization. Despite the ambitious plans for UnAFA, the Argentine government has stated that the institution is not legally recognized, prompting urgent action from the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino (AFA) to halt promotional activities related to the university.
