When do Boca face Olimpia, the final pre-season friendly | OneFootball

After their football debut in 2026 with a goalless draw at La Bombonera against Millonarios of Colombia, Claudio Úbeda’s Boca is already setting its sights on its next and definitive preparation match. The Xeneize will travel to the interior of Buenos Aires province to wrap up their preseason before the start of the Torneo Apertura.

Boca’s first step in this new year left mixed feelings. In the context of the Miguel Ángel Russo Cup, an emotional tribute to the legendary coach, the Ribera side showed a leading role and good ball control. However, the lack of effectiveness was the main drawback in the final 0-0 score.

Boca drew in their first preseason friendly.

Despite having a dynamic midfield and fullbacks with a lot of projection, the team could not capitalize on the chances created. The clearest opportunity came at the feet of Exequiel Zeballos, who, near the end of the match, won a penalty that he himself took, but his shot was saved by the Colombian goalkeeper, Guillermo De Amores.

When, where, and at what time does Boca play vs Olimpia?

The Xeneize will play their second and last summer friendly against Olimpia of Paraguay. This match will serve to fine-tune tactical details and give playing time to those players looking to earn a spot in the starting eleven.

The squad’s outlook before the official debut

Claudio Úbeda faces the end of this preseason with some concerns in the attacking area. In addition to the lack of finishing shown against Millonarios, the injuries to Edinson Cavani and Milton Giménez mean the coaching staff must look for alternatives up front, with Miguel Merentiel as the main reference point.

Úbeda would give playing time to other players.

Regarding the transfer market, the club is closely following negotiations for Marino Hinestroza, whose arrival has been delayed more than expected. On a positive note, the squad retains Ander Herrera, who renewed his contract and showed great form against Millonarios.

This clash against the Paraguayan “Decano” will be the final test before the official debut in the 2026 Torneo Apertura, scheduled for Sunday, January 25 at La Bombonera, where Boca will host Deportivo Riestra for the first matchday.
