-
🏟 Day 6 - Stadium Tour Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has a very uncommon world record: It's the city with more professional stadiums per square meter in the world, with 18 in total (More than big cities like London), and if we talk about football, the iceber goes way beyond the first division. Atlanta is one of the most iconic clubs in Buenos Aires, and the club itself invites us to explore their facilities! At night, we will taste the most typical Argentinean dish: The Asado. Save some space in your stomach, because tonight you will lick your fingers!

The afternoon is free, so we can explore the opportunity of adding an extra game, if the fixtures matches.
-
🚶Day 9 - Free day - Optional Lower League game
If you want to witness the true football madness, you have to go to a Lower Division game. Of course Boca, River and any first division club has a huge fan base, with die-hard supporters, but the second division has somethig special. Maybe for how difficult it is to get promoted (due to a VERY challenging league modality), or because each club is extremely linked to the neighbourhood, the second tier teams has a huge passion that goes beyond the football results. It is not easy to match a lower division gae in the itinerary, due to fixtures, but we will inform you if this possibility can be a dream come true. Note: This tour is not included, but can be added as an extra.
