Boca now has a confirmed date and time for the match against Central Córdoba on the final matchday of the regular phase of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. El Xeneize will determine what position it qualifies for in the playoffs, a stage for which it has already secured its place.

The Professional Football League announced how the ninth round will be played, which had been postponed due to the executives’ strike in protest of ARCA’s persecution of the governing body.

Claudio Úbeda’s team will determine what final position it finishes the regular phase in to find out its opponent in the round of 16, a stage it has already qualified for. The opponent will be Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero.
