AFA Confirms Nicolás Ramírez to Referee Boca–River Superclásico at La Bombonera

The appointment follows scrutiny of his Copa Argentina final, signaling the AFA's confidence in his handling of high‑pressure matches.

Overview

  • Boca Juniors host River Plate on Sunday, November 9 at 4:30 p.m. in the penultimate round of the Clausura.
  • The officiating crew is set: assistants Juan Belatti and Pablo González, fourth official Pablo Giménez, VAR Héctor Paletta, and AVAR Sebastián Habib.
  • Ramírez was confirmed after a contentious Copa Argentina final that featured two red cards, extensive stoppage time, and a retaken penalty.
  • This will be his third consecutive Superclásico in charge, with River having won the previous two he refereed.
  • The match carries major Libertadores implications, as a Boca win would clinch second in the annual table and a direct group-stage berth while River arrive on a poor run.
