  • Chile’s football association expanded its disciplinary complaint against San Marcos de Arica over alleged financial irregularities.
  • The complaint says sworn declarations about operating capital did not match the club’s later annual reports and audited financial statements.
  • The case could put San Marcos de Arica at risk of disaffiliation from Chilean football.

A major dispute has erupted in Chile’s second-tier football league after the Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional, or ANFP, expanded its complaint against San Marcos de Arica before the disciplinary tribunal.

The association accuses the club of serious financial irregularities in information submitted to the Financial Control Unit. According to details published by La Tercera, the complaint concerns sworn declarations about operating capital that allegedly conflict with annual reports and audited financial statements submitted later.

The disputed documents were sent in October 2024 and in April, July and October 2025. During those periods, San Marcos reportedly declared that it had positive figures that did not match its accounting position.

The proceedings create the risk of disaffiliation for the Arica club. The supplied report begins an example involving assets declared in September 2024 but cuts off before giving the full figures.
