The possibility that Boca could bring away fans for the match against Platense on matchday five of the Torneo Clausura is gaining more and more momentum. The club’s leadership is working with their counterparts at Platense on the logistical details needed to allow a large number of supporters into the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López.

The Xeneize side is going through a key stretch in the schedule with an important run of matches, and the massive support of its fans away from La Bombonera would provide a vital emotional boost for the squad.

According to reports that emerged in recent hours, talks between the Buenos Aires Province security authorities and both club boards are at an advanced stage to give the green light to the initiative that would allow Vasco Arruabarrena’s team to be backed by its supporters against Martín Palermo’s side.

If official approval is granted, the Xeneize fans would receive an allocation of approximately 5,000 to 7,000 seats in the stands of the Vicente López venue. The measure would mark a significant return of away supporters for the blue and gold club in Buenos Aires Province in domestic competition.

The match is scheduled for next Saturday, August 15, at 9:15 p.m., a setting in which the blue and gold club will look to strengthen its place among the tournament’s frontrunners. Those around the club’s leadership are optimistic about the security operation that will be deployed around the stadium.

The special angle Boca vs. Platense will have

In addition to the possible presence of Xeneize fans, Arruabarrena’s team will also come up against another idol of the blue and gold club. That’s because Martín Palermo will once again be on the Platense bench. El Titán has just returned to the brown club for his second spell in charge.

For the team from La Ribera, having the backing of its supporters away from home would represent a substantial footballing advantage in a venue that has historically been a difficult one. Final confirmation will depend on the signing of the official document by the Buenos Aires Province Security Ministry in the coming days.

On the strictly sporting side, the Boca squad is fine-tuning details to arrive at the match in the best possible condition, knowing that the fans’ support from the stands of the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López could be decisive in securing three important points for the team’s ambitions.
