Boca will play the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 against Deportivo Recoleta at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium. The decision was officially confirmed moments ago and is due to the ongoing refurbishment work on La Bombonera’s playing surface.
The team managed by Rodolfo Arruabarrena will once again move its home venue to Huracán’s ground, a stadium that already hosted its recent domestic competition match against Estudiantes de La Plata and that will also stage the upcoming clash against Vélez Sarsfield in the Torneo Clausura.
The maintenance work on La Bombonera’s surface is aimed at ensuring the pitch is in optimal condition for the match against Lanús scheduled for the end of the month, which forced the club’s board to once again arrange the use of the Palacio de Parque Patricios.

Xeneize will play a total of 3 matches at the Tomás A. Ducó stadium.
The logistics for this international clash will maintain the same operational approach that the La Ribera club used in its previous appearance away from home. Club officials in blue and gold highlighted the good disposition of Huracán’s authorities in making the facilities available, ensuring the necessary capacity to host the Xeneize supporters, especially in the popular stands.
In addition to the venue announcement, Ricardo Rosica, the club’s General Secretary, said that the board is evaluating the possibility of not charging the additional fee that is usually required from members for international competition matches.

Xeneize fans would be able to enter without having to pay an extra fee against Recoleta.
In matches of this kind, the value of that pass usually hovered around 20,000 pesos, so the measure would mean direct financial relief for the blue-and-gold supporters on this trip. This initiative seeks to recognize the effort of the fans who have to travel away from Brandsen 805 to support the team in a decisive matchup.
