Deportivo Riestra faces possible relegation in Argentine top flight

Deportivo Riestra, known as the Malevo de Nueva Pompeya, sits 28th in the Argentine Primera División ahead of the Clausura 2026, just two points above the direct‑relegation zone. The club’s poor Apertura performance puts it at risk of dropping to a lower division unless it secures a dramatic improvement.

An upcoming match against Boca Juniors offers Riestra a chance to change its fortunes early in the semester and move away from the relegation threat.
