ARGENTINA’S FOOTBALL/SOCCER TOURNAMENT STARTED (By Hostel Buenos Aires)

Last weekend, the Argentina’s Football/Soccer Tournament 2010 started. Considered by FIFA as one of the world’s most competitive tournaments, it promises good football and, as usual, a thrilling final. The defending champion, Argentinos Juniors, along with the champion of Latin America, Estudiantes de La Plata and the five most important and traditional teams (Boca, River, Independiente, Racing Club y San Lorenzo), are the candidates.


This tournament adds the attractive of the challenge that the 5 traditional teams have to recover the championship after 3 tournaments in a roll where other teams have champion (Argentinos Juniors, Banfield y Vélez Sársfield). The most expected match, confronting Rover Plate and Boca Juniors, will be played on November 7th in the River Plate Stadium. The other classic match between Independiente and Racing Club is on October 10th in Independiente Stadium.
