Boca Stays Alive on Five Fronts After Knocking Out Racing in Copa Argentina

Boca beat Racing, booked its spot in the Copa Argentina semifinals and, along the way, left a question hanging in the air: how many titles can this team chase over the rest of 2026? The answer, right now, is a resounding five. No less.

The squad led by Vasco Arruabarrena is coming off an unbeaten run that has put it comfortably among the eight clubs on track to secure a spot in the round of 16 of the Clausura Tournament, with six matchdays still to play. That momentum, combined with what's happening on the other fronts, is what opens the door to a year-end stretch loaded with chances to lift a trophy.

Copa Sudamericana, with Vasco da Gama in the Way

On the international stage, Boca is already in the Copa Sudamericana semifinals, where Vasco da Gama awaits. The winner of that tie will meet, in the final set for Barranquilla, whichever club comes out on top between Montevideo City Torque and Atletico Mineiro.

Copa Argentina: Banfield Up Next After Eliminating Racing

After knocking out Racing, Boca now faces Banfield in the next round of the Copa Argentina. On the other side of the bracket, Atletico Tucuman is waiting to see who it will face in a potential final, once Estudiantes de La Plata and Platense settle their own matchup.

Clausura Tournament and Annual Table, the Underlying Battle

In the domestic competition, Boca's strong form has allowed the team to settle in comfortably among those already thinking about the round of 16. But there's another race running in parallel: the Annual Table, where Boca sits four points behind Independiente Rivadavia, the current leader of the standings. With 18 points still up for grabs, Arruabarrena's goal is to string together results that let the team claim the second edition of this title.

And there's still a fifth front, more distant but very real: the Trofeo de Campeones. There, Belgrano de Cordoba, the Apertura champion, is waiting for an opponent, one that will emerge from whichever team ends up winning the tournament Boca is still fighting for.

Five competitions, five different paths, and a team that hasn't dropped out of any of them so far. Boca's schedule for the rest of 2026 leaves no room to breathe, but it also leaves no room for boredom.
