Boca finalise pre-season friendly: opponent, date and venue | OneFootball

Boca is planning the final details of its preparations and is already deciding what its preseason friendly will be ahead of the second half of the year. Although it is still an informal proposal, the warm-up match could be finalized in the coming hours.

The board of the Ribera club is evaluating a formal proposal to face Uruguay’s Nacional next July 8 in the province of Salta, a match that would help fine-tune the team’s collective play before returning to official competition.

The proposal to play this international match at Padre Ernesto Martearena Stadium represents an ideal opportunity for the coaching staff to assess the squad’s match fitness. After intense weeks of physical work at the Ezeiza training ground, the Boca side will need formal playing time to implement the tactical idea of the club’s new coach and integrate possible new signings.

The chosen opponent has the ideal pedigree to measure the Xeneize’s strength. El Bolso, a continental giant with whom the blue-and-gold institution has fought great South American battles, is currently considering the proposal.

This preparatory test takes on major importance when looking at the demanding schedule looming on the immediate horizon in La Ribera. The main goal of preseason is to reach the best possible footballing level and quickly adapt to Vasco Arruabarrena’s ideas for the points-at-stake debut, avoiding the usual misfires teams often suffer.

The importance of Boca’s friendly

The urgency to finalize this preseason friendly lies in how close the team’s first knockout match of the half-year is. The Xeneize will begin its official campaign on July 16 against Sarmiento de Junín, in a Round of 32 clash in the Copa Argentina, a tournament that grants a direct berth in the next Copa Libertadores.

Boca is working through preseason.

Although the Argentine Football Association has already set the date for the clash with the Green from Junín, the authorities have not yet confirmed the kickoff time or venue. The province of Jujuy is the leading candidate to host the match, which would turn Boca’s trip to the north of our country into a highly attractive two-match visit for fans in the region.
