Explicit limitations

  • Precise internal date each member formally took office (~21 July per Télam "el jueves asumirá").
  • Exact contract figures.
  • Who paid for/accompanied the trip beyond AFA arrangement — not established in retrieved sources (UNKNOWN).
  • Precise day (10 vs 11 Aug) varies slightly by outlet.
  • Exact content of the article-87 statute amendment.
  • Which specific incident Zambrano referred to in 2024. The record does NOT establish this; ambiguity preserved and NOT resolved.
  • Whether CONMEBOL published a formal written prescription ruling (only the AFA-relayed confirmation located this session).
  • No public record of a CAS filing by Messi/AFA located this session.
  • The complete official CONMEBOL card ledger with exact minutes was NOT retrieved this session — no publicly available official match report was located.
  • Phase 7 recorded the verbatim Art. 11.1/11.4 host-row wording as INACCESSIBLE (PDF blocks automated retrieval) and the "2024-10-03" Council date as unconfirmed. Phase 8 SUPERSEDES both: Annex B C-04 and C-05 record that the official PDF was retrieved, that Article 49 states the regulations "were approved by the FIFA Council on 3 October 2024 and came into force immediately," and that Article 11.4 reads "Host (club TBC) | 1 | One club (access for the club occupying this slot will be determined by FIFA at a later stage)."
  • Phase 8 §23: no retrieved FIFA primary document dated before 2 October 2024 states the berth would go to the Supporters' Shield winner; no published FIFA Council vote, minute or circular naming Inter Miami was retrieved — an evidence gap, not proof that no such internal act existed.
