When Boca play again after friendly win over Paranaense | OneFootball

After the win in the international friendly against Athletico Paranaense, Boca is already turning the page on preseason and shifting its full focus to the return of official competition.

The break is over and the official competition calendar kicks off in full force, so the coaching staff is looking to fine-tune the final details for the formal season debut. The first match for Vasco Arruabarrena in his second spell will be nothing less than a knockout clash.

The Xeneize will have to face Sarmiento de Junín in the Copa Argentina round of 32, in a match that will not only mark the start of the semester, but also leaves no room for error. The blue and gold side must win to stay in the competition.

When does Boca play again?

Boca’s first official match of the semester already has a date, time, and stadium set.

Arruabarrena’s official debut in his second spell

Beyond the importance of starting the semester on the right foot, this match against Sarmiento will have a very special element: it will be Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s official debut at the start of his second spell in charge of the team from La Ribera.

After getting through the preseason tests and showing his first footballing ideas in the friendly against the Brazilian side, Vasco will look to build a competitive starting eleven that begins to show the identity he wants for this new stage.
