What we will do in this experience

Vélez Sarsfield is much more than a club: it’s synonymous with consistency, glory, and football passion. With over 19 official titles, the club has established itself as one of Argentina’s greats, winning national and international championships over the past four decades.

Among its most notable achievements are the 1994 Intercontinental Cup, the Copa Libertadores, and multiple domestic league titles, making Vélez a benchmark of modern football. Its stadium, the José Amalfitani, is a city icon, where every corner reflects history and emotion.

An unmissable experience for those who want to explore a stadium full of recent history and understand why Vélez is one of Argentina’s most successful clubs.

We are a sport tourism company that offers tours about Argentine football, its passion and essence, in the City of Buenos Aires with its different clubs. We seek to reach all those who want to count on our services, a product that allows customers to experience what Argentine football is in its different categories, customs and stadiums in a disruptive and non-traditional way.

Itinerary

  1. Meet your local host in central Buenos Aires

    Your host will meet you at one of two convenient locations: Palermo – perfect if you’re staying in trendy, leafy neighborhoods or Downtown – ideal for guests near the city center to pick you up and go to José Amalfitani.

  2. The pre-match

    We arrived at the stadium where the blue and white colors were already beginning to be seen and emotions were beginning to vibrate.

  3. Enter the stadium and enjoy the match

    Take a seat in the stadium and feel the excitement in the air as the crowd roars: an unforgettable football atmosphere. Your host will help you pass through the various security checkpoints to gain entry.

    The host, Adrian, was incredibly dedicated and stood out with his exceptional football knowledge — something you rarely experience. Attending a Velez Sarsfield match with him made the experience even more special, as this is clearly his club and his passion truly shows. The stadium is impressive and feels like a real fortress. Even though it was only half full, the atmosphere was still lively and engaging. Velez is a great and very likeable club with a certain special character that sets it apart. If you’re considering going to a Velez match, go with Adrian — you won’t regret it!

    On Sunday, November 16th, we went to Velez Sarsfield vs. River Plate with Ezequiel as our host. It was a fantastic experience; he's a member of the club's social team and was able to tell us all about Velez. Velez's stadium is also a must-see; the fans are passionate, which is fantastic to experience. Transportation to and from the hotel was also perfectly arranged. The only downside was that Velez unfortunately didn't score and the game ended in a draw. But as a host, there's little you can do about that. Gira Futbolera is an excellent company to attend matches. We highly recommend them!

    We attended the Velez Sarsfield vs Talleres de Córdoba match on Saturday Nov. 1st at Estadio Jose Amalfitani. It was easy to get there, communication and instructions with Homefans were very clear. Our guide Deborah was friendly and knowledgeable. The overall value for money was great, it was one of the most reasonably priced experiences we found during our research. I would advise anyone attending to wear plenty of sunblock, wear a hat/sunglasses and stay hydrated. The location of the seats were in direct sunlight the entire time; it got quite hot. Beer and alcohol are not served inside the stadium, snacks and non-alcoholic options are available but limited. I recommend this for anyone looking for a genuine, neighborhood team with lots of history and a unique stadium experience.
