In Argentina, football is much more than a sport; people live it with great passion and fanaticism. A love that knows no age or any kind of distinction. It is a tradition passed down through generations, with pride and dedication to the team.

 

Fans can be seen at every game, in the stands, unleashing incredible shows in support of their team. There are many examples of these fans traveling many kilometers to cheer on during important matches. Here are a few examples: River in Japan, Colón in Paraguay, and Boca in Brazil.

 

 

 

 

 

Buenos Aires is the city with the most stadiums in the world. "La cancha," as it is called in football slang, is one of the places you should visit if you want to experience up close the emotions that this sport generates in Argentinians.

Argentine Soccer Classics

They are known as "classics" to certain historical confrontations between rival teams. These games in particular draw the attention of both the average fan and those passionate about their colors, generating a kind of ritual when they are carried out. Now we will tell you a little more about them:

 




River Vs Boca

The largest superclassic in the country, recognized worldwide. Such is the exposure of this confrontation that sports fans from all over the world come to the country to live the experience, heat and passion that this clash of greats proposes. The Superclásico Argentino es maybe the best Derby in the world. When playing, the city is paralyzed to watch the match between Boca Juniors y River Plate.  On the street, you can see the lack of people. You can hear the radios and TV broadcasts from anywhere.



Independent vs Racing

Two teams from the Avellaneda neighborhood of the same people, the same customs. "El Rojo", as he is popularly known Independent , meets "The Academy", Racing Club, where the respect of both remains intact. Peace in these confrontations is key, since their courts are located a few meters away. Although it seems like an exaggerated fact, in reality it is nothing more than the truth, since both clubs are 400 meters away from each other.



Rosario Central vs Newell´s

Both clubs belong to Rosario, a strong clash of powers with years of history. A rivalry that soars when the fans representing each team rise in the name of their colors. This is the case with the best player in the world today, Lionel Andres Messi, for Newell's, and footballers of the caliber of Angel Di Maria or Angel Correa, for Rosario Central.



Talleres vs Belgrano

Beyond soccer, the classic match between Talleres and Belgrano is a reflection of the identity and pride of Córdoba. The fans of both teams not only support their club on the field, but also live the classic as an essential part of their daily lives. The hooligans, the chants, the colors, and the presence of both clubs in Córdoba's popular culture are testimonies to the importance of this rivalry.



Columbus vs Union

It is an expression of Santa Fe's identity, a celebration of the city's culture and spirit. The fans of both teams not only support their club on the field, but also live the classic as an essential part of their daily lives. The red and white colors of Unión and the black and red of Colón dominate the city in the days leading up to the match, and the streets fill with chants, flags, and an atmosphere of anticipation.



Interesting and curious facts

  • Very few matches have visiting fans due to a long history of clashes between supporters. The matches that still allow both sets of fans are those in continental tournaments like the Copa Libertadores and the Sudamericana, where security measures are increased to ensure everyone's safety.

     

    In December 2018, River and Boca played the Copa Libertadores final in Madrid. The incidents leading up to the match caused the Argentine Football Association to take such a measure. The clash occurred at the entrance of the bus carrying Boca's players to River's stadium. It was the most important match in the country's history. Here is a high-definition summary of the match where the passion and emotion transcend the screen.

     

    As mentioned earlier, Racing and Independiente are from the Avellaneda neighborhood, and their stadiums are just a few meters apart. In the following video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GASpMsGo_bs) , we show you the views one club has of the other.
