Boca v Riestra: when and what time is the first Apertura match | OneFootball

After the two preseason friendly matches, Boca will make its debut in the 2026 Apertura Tournament against Deportivo Riestra. The team, technically led by Claudio Úbeda, will open its participation in the local championship at home and in front of its fans.

The 2-1 victory over Olimpia of Paraguay in the last of the two friendly matches played as preparation left good impressions. Just like in the 0-0 draw against Millonarios, there was a good collective performance, despite not repeating the lineup and not being able to do so on Sunday.

The Xeneize will not have the scorer Miguel Merentiel, as he suffered a tear in his right calf and will be out for several matches. Therefore, he will not be available this Sunday when Boca hosts Deportivo Riestra at the Alberto J. Armando stadium.

The Xeneize begins its journey in the Apertura Tournament.

The match for the first round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League will be played from 18:30 hours and can be watched on the TNT Sports Premium channel. To watch this match, you need to have the Football Pack subscription.

The team will seek to start the official competition on the right foot in a year where it will have to compete on several fronts, with the Copa Libertadores de América as the main objective, but it cannot neglect the domestic tournament or the Copa Argentina.
