Boca Juniors set for La Bombonera return on 28 August | OneFootball

Boca Juniors will return to La Bombonera on Friday 28 August at 21:30 to face Lanús, ending their enforced stay at Huracán’s Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Parque Patricios. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, club secretary general Ricardo Rosica has officially confirmed the date, set for the seventh round of the domestic league.

Before then, the side led by Vasco Arruabarrena will complete its programme in Parque Patricios against Vélez Sarsfield and Deportivo Recoleta.

The relocation stemmed from the need to protect the pitch. During the recent World Cup break, Boca replaced the drainage system and carried out full reseeding on the side beneath the boxes, but adverse weather prevented the grass from taking root as required.

CONMEBOL approved the Tomás Adolfo Ducó after an inspection, authorising a venue that had not hosted international competition for some time.

In total, Boca will play three matches at El Ducó, including their Copa Sudamericana round of 16 tie on Tuesday 11 August at 19:00. That fixture will be their final outing away from home.
