Huracán v Belgrano at risk after collapse near stadium | OneFootball

The holding of the match between Huracán and Belgrano de Córdoba, scheduled for this Tuesday afternoon for the eighth date of the 2026 Torneo Apertura, is under review due to a serious incident in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Parque Patricios. During the early hours, a collapse occurred at the Procrear Housing Complex located at Avenida Suárez and Mafalda, right behind the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium. The disaster affected a three-story building, where specifically the roof of the underground parking lot collapsed.

In response to this emergency, the residents of the affected area formally requested the suspension of the match. The main concern is that the massive movement of people in the stands of the Huracán stadium could generate vibrations that worsen the structural damage or cause new collapses in the area of the collapse. As an immediate measure, a technical inspection was ordered at the Ducó and its surroundings to determine if there is a real risk of collapse that would prevent the normal development of the sporting event.

Regarding the emergency operation, Firefighters and Civil Defense personnel worked intensively on-site to assess the stability of the structure. About 200 people were evacuated as a precaution, and the energy and gas supplies were cut off. Although no serious injuries were reported, a 38-year-old woman had to receive oxygen assistance on-site, after refusing to be transferred to Penna Hospital. Authorities confirmed that, so far, the exact causes that triggered the structural failure are under investigation.

While awaiting the final report from engineers and architects on the safety of the area, the tournament organization is considering different scenarios. Although the priority is the safety of residents and attendees, one of the options being considered in case of detecting minor risks is to hold the match behind closed doors. The final decision will depend on the specialists giving the "green light" both for the return of evacuees to their homes and for the mass activity at the stadium.
