**PLEASE NOTE, THE FIXTURES FOR 2025 (EXACT TIMES AND DATES), ARE ONLY ANNOUNCED 1-3 WEEKS PRIOR**
Diego Maradona's home is Argentinos Juniors. Having raised the greatest football player of all times is an unexplainable honour that every Bicho fan holds symbolically in his trophy case and in their hearts. The experience in the stadium named after Diego is not only foro football reasons, but also spiritual, as Maradona's memory is in every corner of La Paternal neighbourhood.

Where we'll meet - Our group will meet in Palermo and travel to La Paternal, in the heart of Buenos Aires. Your bilingual guides will explain the context of Argentine football, the day’s game and Argentinos Junior's history, including every Maradona detail there is to know. More importantly, they’ll let you know exactly what you need to do and be aware of to be one of the lucky few to gain entry into the 26.000 capacity stadium.
The Build-Up - We’ll do the previa (pre-match) at a local bar or in the streets of the La Paternal neighbourhood, mingling with other fans and learning their traditions, especially how to do the correct wrist-flick for our agite and how to prepare a Fernet&Coca viajero. La Paternal is a calm, residential area and Argentinos fans are very rooted to their neighbourhood. Your guide will accompany you in reduced groups (6-8 pax) to the correct entrance gate, through the squeeze of security controls and police checkpoints, and finally into the ground.
BONUS: Where possible* we'll go to the Casa de D10s before the game, Diego Maradona's first house, which is now a museum. We'll learn about his youth and his time at the club where he established himself as a professional before moving to Boca Juniors and then we'll have some pizza and beer on El Diego's rooftop - now that's a story worth writing home about.
Alternatively, we can also visit Argentinos Junior's amazing club museum and enter the playing pitch after the game.
*may vary by date, please enquire before booking to confirm.
The Match - Through the turnstiles and up the stairs - the Diego Maradona stadium is one of the few primera clubs that has only 3 terraces instead of 4. The visibility of the game is excellent, being close enough to the barrabravas supporters to learn the cheering songs and even to the players for those more daring that want their loving messages to be heard.
The Come-Down - The game is over but memories are forever. You’ll head back to the avenue and grab a bus or taxi with your guide, making sure you get back home safely.
