Boca and Vélez set for Copa Argentina rematch in Córdoba | OneFootball

Boca will face Vélez Sarsfield in the Copa Argentina round of 16, a high-stakes tie for Vasco Arruabarrena’s side, with kick-off on Wednesday 2 September at 21:15.

The federation announced that the match will be staged at the Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba, a neutral venue chosen after alternatives in Santa Fe and Rosario were assessed.

Expectation among Xeneize supporters is high after eliminating Sarmiento de Junín in the previous round. The Kempes, a stadium of international standing, holds more than 57,000 spectators.

The Córdoba ground also hosted their recent Copa Argentina meeting, a 2024 semi-final in which Boca lost 4-3. That backdrop adds edge to this rematch.

The sides drew 1-1 in the Torneo Clausura. The tie will be broadcast on TyC Sports.
