AFA Sets River vs. Racing Copa Argentina Quarterfinal for Oct. 2

The choice seeks to ease Racing’s fixture congestion while avoiding international-callup absences for River.

Overview

  • The quarterfinal will be played on Thursday, October 2, with stadium and kickoff time to be confirmed by organizers.
  • The winner will face Independiente Rivadavia in the semifinals of the Copa Argentina bracket.
  • Tournament planners selected the date after Racing pushed for a FIFA-window pause and River sought to keep its internationals available.
  • Racing visits Huracán tonight at 19:00 at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó, televised on ESPN Premium with Nicolás Lamolina as referee, and plans a largely reserve lineup.
  • Goalkeeper Gabriel Arias was left out due to a fever and forward Santiago Solari was omitted with a muscle overload ahead of Tuesday’s Libertadores second leg vs. Vélez.
