The millions of fans of Boca Juniors and River Plate will have to wait in less than four months to see their teams face each other once again. This Thursday, the Professional Soccer League announced the fixture of the Binance Tournament 2022 and, after that, it was known that both clubs will collide on Sunday, September 11.
The ‘Xeneize’, where the Peruvians Carlos Zambrano and Luis Advíncula play, and the ‘Millionaire’ will face each other within the framework of the eighteenth day of the contest. According to the publication of the organization of the competition, the duel will be at the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, better known as La Bombonera.
The tournament will feature 28 teams, with 27 dates in which all will be measured against all. The Professional Soccer League prepared the calendar considering special events, such as the World Cup in Qatar, which will take place between November 21 and December 18.
In response to this situation, it was decided that the Binance Tournament ends a month earlier, and that the scheduled date for the final is Sunday, October 23. It is worth emphasizing that the champion will be the club that accumulates the most points, without leagues or keys, as on other occasions.
The present of River and Boca
Eliminated from the Professional League Cup at the hands of Tigre in the quarterfinals, River returned to the competition last Wednesday, the day it thrashed Alianza Lima 8-1 at the closing of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Now, the ‘Millionaire’ awaits a rival for the round of 16.
For its part, Boca Juniors – champion of the League Cup – is obliged to beat the Colombian Deportivo Cali this Thursday, to advance to the round of the Copa Libertadores and continue dreaming of the title.
