With the venue change confirmed, the presence of Boca fans against Instituto is now a certainty at the Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba for Matchday 12 of the Clausura Tournament. The clash against La Gloria will be played on Friday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m., allowing thousands of supporters to back the team outside Buenos Aires in another key match for the team’s ambitions.
The club’s leadership coordinated the organizational details with Córdoba authorities to move the match from the Monumental Presidente Perón to the giant stadium in the Chateau Carreras area. This decision is mainly aimed at substantially increasing the number of available spectators.
The Mario Alberto Kempes has a capacity of around 57,000 seats, nearly doubling what the Alta Córdoba venue can offer. In that setting, the blue-and-gold side’s supporters will have an entire stand reserved exclusively for away fans. The preliminary estimate suggests general-admission tickets will be around $75,000, pending the board’s final decision on sales details.

The Mario Alberto Kempes stadium will host Boca with its fans.
For the Xeneize side, this match represents a major test at a crucial point in the official calendar. The squad coached by Vasco Arruabarrena is in excellent form, currently sitting in the Clausura playoffs, among the top spots in the overall table, and qualified for the semifinals of both the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa Argentina.
As for the match details, organizers scheduled it for Friday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m. for Matchday 12 of the Clausura Tournament. Although the schedule was set well in advance, factors such as Argentina’s friendlies and the Copa Argentina semifinal against Banfield could require last-minute adjustments. Even so, the authorities are confident the current schedule will remain in place to facilitate travel for both the squad and the fans.
The clash against La Gloria comes in the middle of a demanding run in which Boca will have to manage its energy between domestic and international competitions. After facing Unión this weekend, the group will travel to Córdoba and, with hardly any time to rest, will then turn its attention to the semifinal tie against Vasco da Gama.
While awaiting official announcements on the ticket sales process, fans are already planning another trip to La Docta. The possibility of having massive support away from La Bombonera raises footballing expectations at a time when there is no margin for error. The club’s leadership will continue the necessary talks with the AFA and security agencies to ensure a peaceful and unforgettable celebration on Córdoba soil.
