El Millonario closes the calendar year at home, hosting Instituto in Avellaneda.
The club known as El Más Grande extended a formidable run, turning its home field into an almost impenetrable fortress. River Plate accumulated twenty straight wins across all competitions, surpassing Rosario Central’s 1974 mark. Their last outing ended in a 2-1 defeat against Huracán, and now the team will bid farewell to its local fans at a different venue when the campaign concludes. [Goal]
Zone A of the Professional League Cup 2023 features a crowded slate of teams, matches, and standings, shaping a tense finish to the season. The conversations around where River would host their match against Instituto intensified as the schedule rolled out. The dates in the LPF Cup 2023 framed a crucial moment for the club in Argentina’s top flight. [Goal]
In the lead-up to the match scheduled for Saturday, November 25, River faced a logistics puzzle after the talk turned to a potential venue change tied to the competition’s fixtures. The initial idea hovered around the Mothers of Cities Stadium, but word spread quickly among subscribers that a different location might be necessary, potentially requiring travel to Santiago del Estero for some supporters.

Ultimately, River Plate announced that the Liberators of America would host the match in Avellaneda, a decision approved by local authorities. Jorge Ferraresi, the mayor of Avellaneda, conveyed that the city would have the honor of welcoming the last Argentine champion in the National Football Capital for that fixture. [Goal]
A short time after the official decision, River’s social channels clarified the policy for fans: all season-ticket holders would have guaranteed seating, and those unable to attend were asked to release their spots according to the standard TLM rules. [Goal]
It is not the first time this venue has been used for River’s home games. The club chose this path in 2020 when renovations to their usual stadium necessitated a temporary relocation. The experience then established a precedent for playing at this site under the right circumstances, a memory that resonates with supporters as they anticipate this particular closing act of the year.
