Boca vs Banfield Semifinal Set for Mendoza's Malvinas Argentinas

Organizers moved the match to a neutral city to avoid Córdoba’s national‑team schedule.

Overview

  • The Copa Argentina confirmed the semifinal will be played at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza on Saturday, November 14 at 19:00.
  • Córdoba was removed from consideration because it will host the Argentina friendly and is already the final venue, prompting organizers to pick another neutral stadium.
  • Tournament planners expect Boca supporters to occupy about 75% of the stadium while the remaining sector will be reserved for Banfield, with ticketing and the match official still to be announced.
  • The winner will advance in the bracket to face the victor of Platense versus Atlético Tucumán, whose semifinal is scheduled to be played in Salta.
  • Boca arrives at a familiar venue where it has advanced in six of seven past appearances, while the neutral-site choice reflects a need to balance team travel, stadium availability, and national‑team fixtures.
