What we will do in this experience

Located right at the heart of the city of Rosario and in the green surroundings of Independencia Park, you can find Newell’s Old Boys stadium also known as “El Coloso del Parque”. This name is still in use nowadays , even though fans voted to change the name to Marcelo A. Bielsa in his honour in 2009 .

Many famous footballers from the club’s academy have represented Argentina at World Cups : Gabriel Batistuta, , Jorge Valdano, Gabriel Heinze, Roberto Sensini, Mauricio Pochettino, , among others. Lionel Messi also played in the club’s youths as well as Diego Maradona played for us in 1993.

After I pick you up , we will go to the Stadium surroundings to enjoy a pre-match appetizer..

    Where to I start? Simply amazing day with Juan. He’s extremely knowledgeable of Argentinian football and I learnt a lot, especially about the Rosario team and area, we visited Messis birthplace and where he played football as well as newells murals across the city, was amazing. The game experience was one of the best and we have the fortune of meeting the president when visiting the palcos. If your in Rosario do not miss this tour with Juan, of note he picks you up in his car and dives your around the city - very comfortable.

    Had a great day visiting Rosario for the Newell's v Boca match. The tour was very well organised by the host, Juan who as well as taking us to the match gave us a tour of some of the important football barrios of Rosario. The atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was incredible despite the result. I highly reccomend going to Rosario, its a real football city, very nice people and everyone wants to talk about their team!

    If you are fan of sports in general or just want an authentic Rosario experience this is a must see activity! Juan organized everything for us from pickup to planning out various areas of Rosario to see (Messi’s neighborhood, various murals of other Rosario footballing legends, important Rosario landmarks along the drive, etc.). The actual prematch and match experience was amazing as well as the Carlitos Juan will introduce you to alongside the beers were the best food we had in Argentina by far! Overall, our day with Juan was the highlight of our trip and I could not recommend something to do in Rosario more than this.

    Juan organised an amazing trip. He organised our transport to Rosario and back to Buenos Aires, took us on a tour around Messi’s neighbourhood, which was really interesting, then we had food and beers kindly bought for us and then the game was amazing and Juan was able to answer all questions and was able to make everyone feel very comfortable.

    We had a tremendous experience watching a Newell’s Old Boys game with Juan. He was an excellent host, informative and gracious. The communication leading up to the match was very good too. Juan made sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend catching a game in Rosario with Juan. We had an unforgettable evening, and really enjoyed seeing the passion and culture surrounding the club.

    I had a brilliant trip to Rosario, and was helped at every stage by Juan. Prior to arriving in Rosario he shared some great information and articles via WhatsApp that got me excited ahead of my visit and gave me a taste of the passion for football Rosario has. Juan accommodated all of the groups requests, and gave us a tour of the city by car showing us Messi's neighbourhood home and murals. Prior to the game we ate and drank a beer at Juan's local restaurant and soaked up the atmosphere as the party headed to the streets pre-match. The stadium and our seats were fantastic. Although the game ended in defeat for Newells it did not take anything away from the atmosphere or experience. A must see in Argentina! Thank you Juan.
