Hello there! My name is Valentino, I’m 21 years old and a huge footbal fan, just like you reading this. I live in Buenos Aires and I speak Spanish, English and German.
I’ll never forget the first time my dad took me to the Huracán stadium. I had a feeling that time, all those years ago, telling me that it was the place I belong to. The neighbourhood became my home and my place in the world. Now as a grown man, ther’s not even a single matchday that I lose! “El globo” is my life, and I would love to share that experience with you!
What will we do in this experience?
First, after we gather at the meeting point, we will go either by subway or bus to the stadium to have a local fan experience! Once we’re there, we will have a couple of beers and learn some songs with the rest of the fans in the pre-match experience. Once the kick off time is near, I’m going to take you to the only “palace” in the entire world where football matches are held, the Tomás Adolfo Ducó!
Here, historic teams such as the 1973´s Huracán leaded by Mennotti (coach of the 1978 World Cup winning Argentine national team), the famous René Houseman, and Osvaldo Ardiles (historic player of Tottenham Hotspur), revolutioned argentine football forever.
This gorgeous red and white palace is the only stadium in the world with an Oscar! I dont know if you have seen “El Secreto de Sus Ojos” but one of the most iconic scenes of cinema was filmed at this beautiful location. Once inside the Ducó, with the match about to start, you will experience the unique passion, strength and madness held by our fans with 90 minutes of electrifiying non-stop cheering songs for the team!

Last but not least, the football match itself. As you know, the argentine football is famous for its players leaving 100% of themselves on the pitch, as we use to say here “we give the life in every ball”. Are you ready?
