Diego Barisone tournament: Unión seek Saturday tie v Instituto in Córdoba | OneFootball

The Unión leadership has begun formal efforts to have the Matchday 7 game of the Professional League in Córdoba played on Saturday, September 5 instead of Sunday. The main reason is a historic and massive institutional and sporting mobilization that will take place in the provincial capital that same weekend.

During those days, the Santa Fe club’s facilities will host the tenth edition of the “Diego Barisone” International Youth Football Tournament. This competition, which has already become a long-standing tradition over more than a decade, will bring together more than 200 teams from all across Argentina and neighboring countries such as Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, and Venezuela.

Organizing this youth tournament represents a huge operational challenge for Unión, as it will gather more than 3,000 footballers between the ages of 7 and 12, who will take part in activities around the city from Thursday, September 3 to Sunday, September 6. For this reason, the event will require the club’s full resources and fill the venue capacity.

By trying to move the professional squad’s match forward to Saturday, September 5, the board aims to free up attention for the kids’ tournament and ensure better logistics for the delegation’s return from Córdoba. Argentine football authorities are expected to give an official response to the request in the coming hours.
