Palacio Ducó alert: building collapse may move Huracán v River | OneFootball

The Parque Patricios area is going through critical hours following the collapse of a 50 x 70-meter slab in the parking lot of a housing complex. The incident, which completely buried the vehicles parked on the ground floor of one of the towers, has escalated into an urban crisis keeping both residents and City Government authorities on edge.

A Risk Beyond the Buildings

Preliminary assessments conducted by engineers and architects are alarming: there is a "potential structural risk" that not only affects the block where the incident occurred but also the adjacent towers that are part of the interconnected complex. Fearing a larger collapse, several families were immediately evacuated, many of whom had previously reported maintenance deficiencies and infrastructure failures in the area.

Football Conditioned by Safety

This emergency has significantly impacted the sports calendar of Club Atlético Huracán. The proximity of the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium to the disaster area forced the recent match against Belgrano to be played behind closed doors. The measure aimed to neutralize any kind of mechanical vibration —produced by the movement of thousands of people in the stands— that could further destabilize the damaged foundations of nearby homes.

Looking ahead to the next match against River Plate, scheduled for Thursday the 12th at 21:30, the scenario is one of total uncertainty. Although reinforcement and mitigation works have already begun, the Security agencies and the GCBA have not yet given the green light for the stadium to open to local fans. The possibility of a venue change is on the table of the Professional League, as the absolute priority is the physical integrity of the residents and attendees.

Neighborhood Solidarity and Social Role

Beyond sports logistics, the tragedy has highlighted the community role of neighborhood institutions. Huracán and Barracas Central have transformed their social headquarters into centers for logistical and human assistance. The "Quema" headquarters is not only functioning as a temporary shelter for those who cannot return to their homes, but it has also organized a community dining room to assist children and families affected by the catastrophe.

The resolution of the conflict now depends on the upcoming technical reports, while the neighborhood tries to assimilate the severe consequences of a collapse that could have been an even greater tragedy.
