Rivadavia de Mendoza pull out of Liga Argentina, door opens for Unión | OneFootball

The information was finally confirmed this Saturday, August 29. In an official statement, Rivadavia de Mendoza decided not to play in the 2026/27 Liga Argentina.

It was, at the very least, the prior step Unión (SF) needed, after deciding not to continue in the Liga Nacional but aiming to avoid disappearing from the national scene and instead drop down to the top promotion division.

There will likely be updates in the coming hours regarding the red-and-white club’s presence, its head coach and the makeup of the team that will take part.
