AFA Locks In Stand Plan and Security Rules for Primera Nacional Final

Organizers say the layout and controls aim to manage a heavily skewed crowd through fixed access routes, ID-plus-ticket checks, safety 'pulmones'.

Overview

  • The match organizing committee and AFA published final stand assignments for the Godoy Cruz–Tristán Suárez final, assigning Godoy Cruz to the Popular Norte Luis Justo Dalbes, Platea Este Cuellar (alta y baja) and a small sector of Platea Oeste while Tristán Suárez will occupy part of Popular Sur and a reduced Platea Oeste sector.
  • Stadium gates will open at 14:00 and entry will require presentation of the Documento Nacional de Identidad plus a physical or digital ticket under the Tribuna Segura rules.
  • Organizers fixed separate ingress routes so Godoy Cruz supporters enter via the Costanera with popular ticket holders routed through Calle Hualfin and platea holders via La Tablada at Arturo Orgaz, and they set Club Deportivo Alberdi as a designated parking and assembly point.
  • The allocation has drawn criticism from Godoy Cruz fans because the club was given the smaller northern popular (about 5,000 capacity) while Tristán Suárez received the larger southern popular (about 9,000), a split officials say was made for easier access, egress and safety separation.
  • The final will kick off at 17:00 on Sunday, 15 November 2026 at Belgrano's stadium and organizers expect a turnout dominated by Godoy Cruz supporters, prompting a remnant ticket sale Saturday morning and a club warning that no stadium ticket sales will occur on match day.
