Overview

• Tournament organizers confirmed the date while leaving the kickoff time and stadium to be announced.
• It is the only pending quarterfinal, with the other semifinal already slated for Argentinos Juniors versus Belgrano.
• The scheduling follows both clubs’ Copa Libertadores quarterfinals and reflects a compromise after diverging preferences on a FIFA window.
• Racing reached this stage by defeating Riestra 3-0, and River advanced past Unión on penalties after a scoreless draw.
• The tie carries extra edge after the recent dispute over Maximiliano Salas’s transfer, with context from recent results as River fell 2-1 to Palmeiras and Racing beat Vélez 1-0.
