Venue set: Racing and River to meet 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 duel with many extra ingredients. The transfer of Maximiliano Salas - through the execution of the release clause - left a significant wound in the Academia. The forward chose to move to the Millonario, and the resentment continues 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 of the Núñez club's fans.

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 each other in the quarterfinals of the Copa Argentina next October 2, what was still unknown was where it would be, but the mystery has ended, and it has been confirmed that the match will be at the Gigante de Arroyito, the stadium of Rosario Central. This venue has a capacity for about 47,000 spectators and is about 300 kilometers from the City of Buenos Aires.

River and Racing, focused on the Libertadores

The Copa Argentina match is of utmost importance for both River and Racing, but today the focus of both teams is on the Copa Libertadores. Marcelo Gallardo's team must face Palmeiras in the return leg of the quarterfinals and will seek to overturn the 2-1 defeat suffered at the Monumental in the first leg. Meanwhile, Costas' team will play the rematch against Vélez at the Cilindro. It is worth remembering that the first leg ended 1-0 for the Avellaneda team.
