Julio Grondona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julio Humberto Grondona (born September 18, 1931) is an Argentine football executive. He has served as president of the Argentine Football Association (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) since 1979. He also serves as Senior Vice-President of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) [1].

As a player, Grondona auditioned at River Plate but never made the team. In the 1950s, he founded Arsenal de Sarandí with his brother Héctor, who succeeded him as club president. The post is currently held by Julio Ricardo Grondona, Julio Humberto's son.

During the 1970s, Grondona served as president of Club Atlético Independiente, and from that position he was picked to succeed Huracán's David Bracuto as head of AFA, immediately after Argentina's 1978 FIFA World Cup win.

Under Grondona's leadership, Argentina reached two World Cup finals (1986 and 1990), two Olympic finals (1996 and 2004) and won five under-20 titles (1979, 1995, 1997, 2001, and 2005).

Arsenal's stadium (Estadio Julio H. Grondona) is named after him.
