Boca’s path to the Torneo Apertura title now has a confirmed date. Following the recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol and the Argentine Football Association, the full playoff schedule was finalized, and the team from La Ribera now knows when it will face Huracán in the round of 16.
The crucial clash between Boca and the team from Parque Patricios will take place next Saturday the 9th at La Bombonera. In this way, the Xeneize will kick off the action-packed weekend that will begin the knockout stage of the tournament.
Looking ahead, if Boca manages to get past Huracán, its quarterfinal match already has a set date: it will be played on Tuesday the 12th, at a time yet to be confirmed, though one thing is certain: it will also be at its home stadium.

While the Boca world is focused on its own matchup, the organizers also made it clear how the rest of the brackets will be played. The round-of-16 schedule will be split into two days:
Saturday the 9th
Sunday the 10th
Meanwhile, the organizers explained that the teams playing their round-of-16 matches on Saturday the 9th will then play their quarterfinal match on Tuesday the 12th, while those whose ties are played on Sunday the 10th will do the same on Wednesday, May 13.
For the four teams that make it through the quarterfinals, the semifinals are scheduled for the following weekend, to be played on Saturday the 16th or Sunday the 17th. The exact day of each matchup will depend on the international commitments of the teams involved in the current CONMEBOL tournaments (the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana).
Finally, the big match that will decide the Apertura champion now has exact coordinates. The final will be played on Sunday, May 24 at 3:30 p.m. at Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium, in the city of Córdoba.
