AFA schedules Boca Juniors-Racing Copa Argentina tie amid eligibility dispute
The 27 September fixture remains uncertain while the Disciplinary Tribunal considers Vélez’s complaint over Boca’s team sheet.
The Argentine Football Association has scheduled Boca Juniors’ Copa Argentina match against Racing for Sunday, 27 September, but the fixture remains subject to a pending Disciplinary Tribunal ruling.
The kick-off time and venue have not been confirmed. Whether the match proceeds as scheduled will depend on the outcome of Vélez’s complaint.
Vélez alleges Boca listed six foreign players, including Ángel Romero, who remained an unused substitute. The club argues Copa Argentina regulations do not provide an exception to the reported five-player limit for those named on the team sheet.
Vélez is seeking a forfeit against Boca, with the result recorded as a 3–0 victory under the disciplinary provisions cited in its complaint.
The supplied report does not establish whether Boca breached eligibility rules, and no ruling has yet been issued. The report, published by Yahoo Sports and translated into English using artificial intelligence, also warrants caution around the precise regulatory wording.
