La Scaloneta will host Boca’s pitch for the first time since becoming world champions, setting the stage for a celebratory atmosphere in the stands.
The Argentina national team returns to La Bombonera after a year and a half away to face Uruguay on the fifth date of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North America. For the Albiceleste, it marks their first appearance on the Boca field since the Qatar 2022 inauguration, so a full-throated celebration from supporters is anticipated.
The decision to move the home ground from the Monumental, after it hosted matches against Ecuador and Paraguay, came because the Río de la Plata classic would occur just days after the conclusion of Taylor Swift’s concert series in Núñez. The AFA believes the turf would not be in optimal condition for a World Cup qualifier if played there, so the alternative venue was chosen to ensure the best playing surface.
The match is scheduled for Thursday, November 16, starting at 9 p.m. The organizers will share all necessary details for ticket purchases.
