APREVIDE Lifts Racing Stadium Ban, Clears Full House for River Tie

The reversal followed talks with club and AFA leaders and rests on new security commitments.

Overview

  • Racing will host River Plate with home fans at the Cilindro on Monday, November 24 at 19:15 (Argentina), with no visiting supporters permitted.
  • The provincial agency had ordered three games behind closed doors for safety failures tied to prohibited pyrotechnics during the Libertadores semifinal reception against Flamengo.
  • Official reports cited breaches of national laws 23.184 and 23.192 and noted at least two attendees with minor burns who were treated at Hospital Fiorito.
  • Racing had already served one match of the sanction on November 8 versus Defensa y Justicia before the penalty was revoked following a Tuesday meeting.
  • Club president Diego Milito met with AFA chief Claudio Tapia and APREVIDE representatives, and the club committed to stricter crowd-control measures to avoid future penalties.
