Where we’ll meet - Our group will meet in Plaza Italia, in Palermo. Your bilingual guides will explain the context of Argentine football, the day’s game and River’s history. 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 colossal Más Monumental (ex- Antonio Vespucio Liberti).
The Build-Up - From there we’ll travel by metro to the Núñez area, home of River’s Monumental, the biggest stadium in the country. We’ll stop at a local bar or mingle with fans in the traditional block building up before the game. River fans have no limits so don’t be surprised if traffic gets blocked for us to cheer - a beer in one hand and a choripán in the other, learning the correct wrist-flick for our agite.
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.
The Match - Through the turnstiles and up the stairs - you’ll take in one of the most impacting scenes in Argentinian football: the first impression of the entrance to the almost 80.000 River soul’s stadium. We expect proper football so we’ll have seats to enjoy the show, but we’ll still want to feel the adrenaline so we’ll make sure to choose the sector where chants are heard. Your guide will keep the group together, explaining the songs and describing the stadium’s intricacies.
The Come-Down - the inevitable adrenaline crash after the ecstasy, streaming out of the exits and back through Udaondo Avenue in a red and white ocean of fans. You’ll head back to a secure spot and your guide will assist in pointing you in the right direction to get back home safely. Monumental evenings are everlasting memories, and you’ll need a couple of days to sink it in.
