Early life

Tapia was born on 22 September 1967 in Concepción, San Juan Province, to Washington Tapia and Leonor Olivera. As a child, he moved to the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. He played football, originally as a sweeper, then as a striker for Barracas Central.

In 2000, a group of members of Barracas Central invited him to return to the club. Tapia became president of the club in 2001. Under his leadership, Barracas Central won the 2009–10 Шаблон:Small Primera C championship, and the 2018–19 Шаблон:Small Primera B Metropolitana championship, promoting to Primera Nacional, the second level of Argentine football. His tenure on Barracas Central ended in March 2020, after 18 years. His son Matías replaced him as president of the club.

Tapia was voted President of the AFA on 29 March 2017, with a mandate until 2021. The vote was passed with 40 votes in favour and 3 abstentions. He replaced Luis Segura, who was forced to resign when fraud charges were brought against him in June 2016.
