The two continental level club competitions will begin, and twelve teams, including one promoted side, will represent Argentine football.
Argentine football will once again carry significant weight in the two major South American club tournaments: the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. On Monday, March 27, the draws for both competitions were held, and a week later the action kicked off in pursuit of glory.
On one side, the Argentine clubs in the Libertadores are Boca Juniors, River Plate, Racing Club, Argentinos Juniors, and Club Atlético Banfield (currently in the Primera Nacional). They will be joined in the Copa Libertadores by San Lorenzo, Defensa y Justicia, Newell’s Old Boys, Tigre, Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, and Huracán as their South American opponents.
As soon as the competition schedule is released, the international participation of the Argentine teams will be confirmed.
