Venue confirmed: Racing and River know where they'll play in Copa Argentina | OneFootball

It promises to be one of the matches of the year. River and Racing will face each other in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina next Thursday, October 2, in a clash with plenty of extra spice. The transfer of Maximiliano Salas—triggered by the activation of his release clause—left a significant wound at La Academia. The striker chose to move to El Millonario, and the anger still lingers in Avellaneda. On the other hand, Marcos Rojo joined Costas’ team, and due to his recent past at Boca, he will be in the spotlight for the fans at the Núñez club.

Where will River vs. Racing be played for the 2025 Copa Argentina? Although it was confirmed a few days ago that River and Racing will face off in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina on October 2, the location was still unknown. The mystery is now over, and it has been confirmed that the match will take place at the Gigante de Arroyito, the stadium of Rosario Central. This venue has a capacity for about 47,000 spectators and is located approximately 300 kilometers from the City of Buenos Aires.

River and Racing, focused on the Libertadores

The Copa Argentina match is extremely important for both River and Racing, but right now the focus of both teams is on the Copa Libertadores. Marcelo Gallardo’s side must face Palmeiras in the second leg of the quarterfinals and will look to overturn the 2-1 defeat suffered at the Monumental in the first leg. Meanwhile, Costas’ team will play the return leg against Vélez at the Cilindro. It’s worth noting that the first leg ended 1-0 in favor of the Avellaneda side.
