Fantastic! As a football fan you can not ask for more than floodlights and one of the biggest derbies in the country. The atmosphere around the stadium was electrifying and the atmosphere inside was at boiling point. In any case, it is important to arrive at the stadium with some time.
Our guide Nacho was also fantastic! With a lot of background knowledge about the rivalry between Independiente and Racing, he has rounded off this experience wonderfully.
I can only recommend this tour to everyone and will definitely come again!
I had a great time again in South America and this match was on the bucket list for many years and lived up to the hype. I had gone to San Lorenzo earlier in the day with a friend and these guys waited for me after the game to take me to Avellaneda. They are obviously well connected in terms of football in Buenos Aires and I would highly recommend booking a trip with them to any game. They will look after you. Do not hesitate to ask them a question prior to booking. Thanks to Valentin and Alvaro, two top lads. Thanks to all the guys at HOMEFANS/COPA90 who make trips like this possible for crazy groundhoppers like myself! Cheers.
Fantastic experience and information about the club and proximity to rivals, Racing Club as well as some context. The atmosphere around the ground leading up to the stadium, the local street food was excellent definitely spend some time around the area outside sampling the food and local fans arriving in buses or in corteo 💥 but arrive sharp to do so. Inside was packed, the game really came to life in the second half and had a real intensity to it on field and in the stands, probably because this stadium by comparison had a noticeable relationship between the on field play and the crowd intensity which fed each other. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommend just don’t get too close to the stadium with a beer! 👮
The hosts will keep you right.
Thanks!
A derby match under the floodlights always feels like it will be extra special, and in this case it did not disappoint. You could feel the stadium shaking as the whole crowd burst into song. It was an amazing fixture to experience!
Outside Alvaro, Valentin and Nacho found us some authentic pre-match Choripan and helped us join in the singing. Nacho was a great Independiente host as he took time to speak at great lengths about his club, the rivalry and the traditions.
This experience made me feel as though I was a fan of the club for years, made me feel like I was part of the club and the real passion of a Argentinian derby game. Nacho was the best you could ask for, took me into the midst of it and got me chanting and bouncing around and really making it the best experience I will ever have! Valentín and Alvaro got us ready for the game in the best way helping me pick out a shirt for the match and getting us some amazing street food from near the stadium. I must reiterate this is the best experience I have ever been on and I felt at home being at this match, absolutely life changing experience for myself. Thank you guys!
