March 16, 2025: *Independiente vs Racing Club, 4:00 pm

The Avellaneda Clasico, Independiente vs. Racing Club, is the second biggest rivalry in Argentina and perhaps South America as a whole! The atmosphere is electric and a win has the same value as a championship for the fans.

Independiente matches are guided with either Andres, Nacho or Esteban, all big “Rojo” fans since birth. They are all very knowledgeable of the team’s history, songs and roster. This stadium is the most family friendly of the Buenos Aires soccer options. Travelers are not a common sight here so often times you may be welcomed with curiosity and lots of questions (proud that you have come to see their team).

Independiente is one of the “big 5” teams in Argentina and most recently was crowned the Copa Suramericana 2017 champions. Located 20 minutes outside Buenos Aires in the neighboring suburb Avellaneda, the Rojos (Reds) can be heard chanting and arriving on trains and buses all afternoon on a game day. Estadio Libertadores de América seats about 50,000 max.

Come with us and have a more real Argentinian football experience seeing the “Diablos Rojos” and hear the crowd erupt when a goal is scored!
