After much back and forth, Boca fans cleared to visit Defensa

Amid the emotional boost after the Superclásico, Boca received news that had seemed off the table: they will be allowed to bring away fans for the match against Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela. After several hours of negotiations, it was confirmed that there will be 3,000 spots available for Xeneize supporters, who will once again be able to back the team away from home.

The decision was made after discussions between Halcón’s leadership, Mayor Andrés Watson, and the security authorities. At first, the plan seemed to have fallen through. The home club had even acknowledged that the possibility of playing with away fans had been ruled out for organizational and security reasons.

However, Defensa y Justicia’s persistence and the importance of the match led to a reversal of that stance, and the final approval eventually came through.

As in the last meeting between the two in Varela, Boca fans will take up the away stand, with tickets expected to cost between 80,000 and 100,000 pesos. The sales process has yet to be defined.

The authorization comes at a time when Boca is facing an important stretch of away matches, both in the local tournament and in the Copa Libertadores. Úbeda’s team will also have to travel to Brazil to face Cruzeiro and then to Ecuador, where they will take on Barcelona.
