The Núñez club starts the year with several adaptations, yet the same ambition persists: to win every competition it competes in.
For 2023 River Plate aims to make a strong statement, even though Marcelo Gallardo will not lead the roster list. Martín Demichelis steps in as head coach, bringing a fresh approach to push River Plate to the top across the tournaments lined up for the year.
Beyond domestic commitments, including the Argentine Cup, the league, and the League Cup, the team will also chase the Libertadores Cup, a prize that has long characterized River Plate as a continental force. The goal remains clear: to contend for every title and maximize the year’s potential.
This overview surveys the entire 2023 calendar for the Millionaire and outlines what fans can expect as the season unfolds.
FRIENDLY
Martín Demichelis already tasted his first challenge as River Plate’s coach in a goalless friendly against Unión La Calera. The matter was decided by disciplinary sanctions and a costly defeat in terms of result, but the session served as a foundation for the squad’s preparations. In January, River Plate will complete a series of training sessions in the United States to sharpen tactics and fitness ahead of the competitive slate.
PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE TOURNAMENT
Unlike the previous two seasons, the national competition kicking off the year is the LPF Tournament. River Plate starts with two away fixtures, faces Boca Juniors on matchday 15, and closes the phase with Racing, this time at the Monumental. The plan emphasizes a strong home run to build momentum early in the campaign.
LIBERATORS CUP
The group stage draw is still to come, scheduled for the week of March 22. River Plate is positioned in Pot 1, which sets expectations for the seeding and potential matchups. The Libertadores phase begins in the week of April 5 and runs through the week of June 28, offering a demanding test of depth and consistency for the squad.
ARGENTINE CUP
Thanks to the November 3 draw, River Plate already knows its opponent for the debut of the most federal league, though the exact date and kickoff time remain to be announced. Additionally, a potential meeting with Boca Juniors is on the horizon, expected in the quarterfinals.
