Patronato to reopen visitor stands for Atlético Rafaela match

Patronato announced it will open a sector of the Grella stadium to visiting fans for the upcoming Primera Nacional fixture against Atlético Rafaela. The club hopes ticket sales will generate revenue, though previous attempts saw losses due to high entry fees (70,000 ARS) and limited ticket distribution. Police approval is still pending, but officials expect the area to allow flags and shirts for Rafaela supporters and are considering moving ticket sales online. Discussions are also under way for a possible agreement that would let Patronato’s fans attend matches at the Monumental stadium later in the season. Separately, former Unión striker Franco Soldano has recovered from a recent injury and is available for selection in the match against Agropecuario.
