Overview
- Agustín Elugui, a rural producer in Cañada Nieto, Soriano, discovered the commemorative shirt while working with a tractor and says he is keeping it at home for now.
- The find sits more than 100 kilometers in a straight line from Buenos Aires, with reports citing distances around 106 to 170 kilometers in the small town of roughly 430 residents.
- Uruguayan journalist Pepe Temperan first reported the discovery on X, sharing photos that show the deflated balloons still tied to the shirt and the '1956–∞' inscription.
- The jersey was originally released during Boca’s October 18 tribute to Russo at La Bombonera, when Leandro Paredes and Claudio Úbeda sent it aloft before the match against Belgrano.
- Sporting context continues to evolve under interim coach Claudio Úbeda, whose Superclásico win helped secure 2026 Copa Libertadores qualification and positioned him for a possible contract extension, while separate human-interest stories include Ignacio Russo gifting his father’s kit to a Tigre fan.
