While all eyes in the Boca world are focused on the continental competition, there is also important news on the domestic front. At this time, the details are being finalized for the match against Racing in the Copa Argentina.

The city leading the race to host this Xeneize match, corresponding to the quarterfinals of the federal competition, is Rosario. More precisely, the Gigante de Arroyito stadium. Newell’s Marcelo Bielsa Stadium was also considered, but in the end it would be played at Rosario Central’s ground.

The Gigante de Arroyito Stadium would host the match between Racing and Boca.
