Venue confirmed for Boca v Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in the Copa Argentina | OneFootball

After what was the first preseason friendly at La Bombonera, where Boca drew 0-0 against Millonarios from Colombia, the Xeneize team is already focused on what's next, but first, they already know where the first match of the Copa Argentina will take place.

Before diving fully into competitive matches, Claudio Úbeda's team will complete their preparation this Sunday in San Nicolás, when they face Olimpia from Paraguay in the second and last friendly of the summer tour. Then, their participation in the Torneo Apertura will begin, and after the first few rounds, the match for the national competition will be played.

In this regard, the Governor of the province of Salta, Gustavo Sáenz, officially confirmed that Boca will return to Salta to play their match for the round of 32 of the Copa Argentina, a clash that will be against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Chivilcoy.

The Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena has a capacity for about 30,000 spectators.

The opponent will be Gimnasia de Chivilcoy, and the chosen venue is the Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena, a stadium that has always suited the Ribera club well and where a full house is expected from the Xeneize supporters. The team from the Torneo Federal A will also be present.

The date has also been set by the Argentine Football Association: the match will be played on Tuesday, February 24. On the calendar, it falls right after the classic against Racing for the Torneo Apertura and before the clash against Gimnasia de Mendoza. These two matches will be played by the Xeneize team at La Bombonera, so they will have to travel in between.

Boca's record at the Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena

The Xeneize have played a total of 8 official matches at this venue and have never lost: 5 wins and 3 draws. Although, at this stadium, they were eliminated from the 2006 Copa Sudamericana against Nacional in a penalty shootout. The last time Boca played there was on August 10, 2022, against Agropecuario, with a 1-0 victory.

The Xeneize have a favorable record at the Salta stadium.
