Argentine football scheduling and regional sports updates
Overview
The Argentine Football Association (AFA) is organizing several major football events for late 2026. The Copa Argentina semifinals, featuring Boca Juniors and Banfield, are set for November 14 at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza.
Regarding the Argentina national team, officials are searching for new opponents for the final FIFA international window of the year after a planned Asian tour was cancelled. Uruguay and Costa Rica are being considered for matches on November 14 and November 17, with potential venues including La Bombonera and the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium. These developments occur alongside reports concerning Lionel Messi’s retirement and discussions regarding coach Lionel Scaloni’s contract renewal.
In league developments, Club Atlético Excursionistas has secured a historic promotion to the Primera Nacional, returning to Argentina's second division for the first time in 54 years. The club clinched the Primera B Metropolitana title following a 4-0 victory over Sportivo Italiano at the Estadio Coliseo del Bajo Belgrano. Led by manager Rodrigo Bilbao, the win brought Excursionistas to 81 points, maintaining an unassailable five-point lead over runner-up Arsenal. This sets up a local derby against Defensores de Belgrano for the 2027 season.
In the Federal A tournament, Cipolletti and San Martín de Formosa are set to face off in the final to determine the first promotion to Primera Nacional. Additionally, the Regional Amateur tournament has entered the quarter-finals.
Other South American regional updates include progress in Paraguay's División Intermedia and the Clausura tournament, where Guaraní recently defeated Rubio Ñu 2-0. In Uruguay, Liverpool maintains the lead in the Clausura tournament with 24 points, followed by Nacional.
