No away fans: Colón can't take supporters to Racing de Córdoba clash | OneFootball

Colón fans’ hopes of supporting the team in Córdoba were ultimately dashed. Racing de Córdoba will host El Sabalero at the Miguel Sancho Stadium and will not move the match to the Mario Alberto Kempes, an option that had emerged in recent days due to the possibility of allowing a larger crowd and generating higher revenue.

The match, corresponding to Round 27 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, is scheduled for Sunday, August 30, starting at 5 p.m., and will be played at Academia’s usual home ground. The possibility of playing at the Kempes had raised expectations among Colón supporters, but it ultimately did not go ahead.

The change of venue was an alternative Racing was considering mainly from a financial standpoint. The possibility of hosting a large number of Colón fans at the World Cup stadium could have meant significant ticket-sale revenue.

The Miguel Sancho, by contrast, has a considerably smaller capacity, and the match will take place without visiting fans. Therefore, Colón supporters will not be able to travel to back the team from the stands.

The news comes as a blow to those supporters who had already begun planning the trip to Córdoba, especially considering the strong turnout Colón usually draws when playing away from Santa Fe.
