Boca finalise pre-season friendly: opponents, date and venue | OneFootball

Boca is planning the final details of its preparations and is already deciding what its preseason friendly will be ahead of the second half of the year. Although it is still an informal proposal, the warm-up match could be finalized in the coming hours.

The leadership of the club from La Ribera is evaluating a formal proposal to face Uruguay’s Nacional on July 8 in the province of Salta, a match that would help fine-tune the team’s collective play before the return to official competition.

The proposal to play this international match at Padre Ernesto Martearena Stadium represents an ideal opportunity for the coaching staff to assess the squad’s match rhythm. After intense weeks of physical work at the Ezeiza training ground, the Boca side will need formal playing time to implement the tactical ideas of the new head coach and integrate possible new signings.

The chosen opponent has the ideal stature to test Xeneize’s level. El Bolso, a historic force on the continent with whom the blue-and-gold club has fought great South American battles, is currently considering the proposal.

This warm-up test takes on major importance when looking at the demanding schedule looming on the immediate horizon for La Ribera. The main goal of preseason is to reach peak football form and quickly adapt to Vasco Arruabarrena’s ideas for the competitive debut, avoiding the usual missteps teams often suffer.

The importance of Boca’s friendly

The urgency to finalize this preseason friendly lies in how close the first knockout match of the semester is. Xeneize will begin its official campaign on July 16 against Sarmiento de Junín, in a Round of 32 clash in the Copa Argentina, a tournament that grants direct qualification to the next Copa Libertadores.

Although the Argentine Football Association has already set the date for the clash against the team from Junín, the authorities have yet to confirm the kickoff time or venue. The province of Jujuy is the leading candidate to host the match, which would turn Boca’s trip to the north of the country into a highly attractive double appearance for fans in the region.
