The Argentine side is playing in the Sudamericana after posting the sixth-best overall campaign among those that did not qualify for the Libertadores — taking the final spot. 

And it is celebrating another achievement in its already century-old history.

A club once presided over by the controversial Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia, current head of the AFA, Barracas has only been in the top flight since 2022.

This season, they have played 13 matches, with four wins, five draws, and four losses.

One of those matches was in the Copa Argentina, which ended in elimination on penalties against Temperley. 

The standout on the field is wing-back Rodrigo Insúa, son of Rubén Insúa, Barracas’ head coach.

After a strong run under Renato Gaúcho, the Cruz-Maltino were beaten by Botafogo in the last Brasileirão round.

And the decision was made to field a reserve side against Barracas.

Renato did not even travel. Marcelo Salles, known as Fera, will be in charge of an alternative lineup. 

There will be three center-backs and golden opportunities for Wallace Falcão, Avellar, and JP.

Matheus França, meanwhile, has a chance to win over the fans.
