Rivadavia de Mendoza pull out of the Argentine League, 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 previous step Unión (SF) needed, after deciding not to continue in the Liga Nacional but seeking not to disappear from the national scene and instead drop down to the top promotion division.

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