What we will do in this experience
Argentinos Juniors and much more than a matchday! Get ready to get immersed into Diego Maradona first steps.
Welcome to La Paternal, one of the most authentic football corners of Buenos Aires and home to Argentinos Juniors—where Diego Maradona’s story began.
Your matchday experience starts at a local bar entirely dedicated to Maradona. This hidden gem is packed with incredible memorabilia, jerseys, photos, and tributes to “El Diez.” While you enjoy a drink, your host will share stories about Diego’s early years and the deep roots he left in this neighborhood. It’s the perfect place to soak in the club’s history before the game.
From there, we’ll take a short walking tour around the stadium, passing through the colorful murals and street art that celebrate the club’s legacy and its many football icons. You’ll feel the neighborhood coming alive with local fans gathering and singing.
Then it’s time for the main event—a match at the iconic Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. You’ll be surrounded by passionate home supporters as Argentinos Juniors take the field. It’s not a tourist show—it’s the real deal.
After the final whistle, the experience continues with a visit to the club museum, where you’ll see the legacy of Argentinos’ incredible youth academy and, of course, more tributes to the one and only Maradona.
If you’re looking for a local, football-rich day in Buenos Aires, this experience is for you.

Tomas is an excellent host and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone in BA when Argentinos Juniors is playing at home. Before the game we enjoyed a beer outside of the stadium, and toured some of the neighborhood murals of local icon Maradona where Tomas explained the history of the team, the neighborhood and its ties to Maradona. Going to the game with a lifelong neighborhood resident was a true pleasure - it felt like going to the game with the mayor of town! Tomas is very knowledgeable, friendly and just a genuine guy. Will recommend this to anybody who will listen.

I can highly recommend this Argentinos Juniors experience with Tomas for anyone interested in football culture, history and everything Diego Maradona. Tomas took us on a tour of the local community, showed us some cool Maradona murals and explained how the legend influenced the neighborhood, before we headed to the stadium. Amazing host, great experience!

Finally to the club where it all started for Diego Maradona. Received an incredible amount of information from Tomas. It's amazing how much he knows about the history of the club. We also know now that there is another meaning for AAAJ. It was the only day we had rain. But in an almost uncovered stadium, Tomas even managed to arrange covered places. Super organized Tomas, we'll be back!!!!

This game beat all expectations for me. The atmosphere was electric from the fans and you could feel the passion for his team so much from the host. He told us plenty of stories and interesting facts about the stadium and the Velez rivalry and of course Maradona. We got to see some murals around the stadium and if anyone is visiting Argentina for football give Argentinos Juniors a visit you will not regret it, thankyou!!

I had a wonderful time with Tomás during the match of Argentinos Juniors against Defensa y Justicia, so I decided to come back against their rivals Vélez Sarsfield. A decision I didn't regret at all, since the second match was even better than the first one. Argentinos Juniors is a smaller barrio club, but that makes this experience so authentic. The barra bravas are standing at the long side of the pitch, which is quite unique. In addition, the club has Diego Maradona running through the veins. All these elements ensure that I would recommend Argentinos Juniors to everyone who wants a taste of the real deal in Buenos Aires.

A ground I was not expecting so much from with it being such a small one. The Stadium in the end had a lot to offer and with Tomas there to show exactly what it has and the history of it all made for a brilliant trip. Thank you Homefans and Tomas for an amazing end to my trip!
