Program details
Feel the thrill of a live football match at one of Buenos Aires’ great stadiums. The atmosphere simply has to be experienced to be believed. These football tours are the easiest and safest way to attend some of the most exciting football matches you are likely to see anywhere in the world. We can guarantee you safe seating, and our knowledgeable tour guides will be together with you all the time, giving you the lowdown on everything you need to know about the world’s greatest game in one of its greatest settings.
Ever since two teams of British merchants lined up against each other at the Buenos Aires Cricket Club for a kick-about in 1867, football has been an integral part of Argentine identity. The incredible atmosphere generated by the passion of the fans makes attending a match one of the highlights of many people’s visits to Argentina, and it is certainly worth setting aside time to do so, even if you’re not normally a fan.
There are 20 teams in the Primera División, the country’s top flight, including four the “Big Five”: River Plate, Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo and Racing Club (all based in Buenos Aires but supported around the country). If you can catch the superclásico, the derby between fierce local rivals Boca and River Plate then you’re assured of the experience of a lifetime. You may also be able to catch the Argentine national team playing a World cup qualifier if you’re here at the right time.
Meeting/ Pick up point: Hotel Lobby.
