Racing Club will face Universidad de Chile in a final preseason match before the start of the official competition. The match will take place on Sunday at the Municipal Ester Roa Rebolledo Stadium in the Chilean city of Concepción. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 local time. This will be Racing's second preseason friendly; last week, the team won 2-1 against Sportivo Ameliano of Paraguay. Head coach Gustavo Costas is expected to field his best players, making it an interesting test before the start of the Torneo Apertura. According to the Argentine News Agency, Facundo Cambeses will be in goal, who earned the starting position at the end of 2025 with very good performances. The defense will consist of Uruguayan Gastón Martirena on the right flank, while Gabriel Rojas will be the left-back, and Agustín García Basso and Nazareno Colombo or Franco Pardo will be in the central defense. In midfield, Juan Nardoni and Santiago Sosa, two pillars of the “Academy” in the last two years, will be present, and the third member will be Matko Miljevic, who arrived from Huracán in the last transfer market. Finally, in the attack, there is only one unknown, as Valentín Carboni and “Maravilla” Martínez have their place secured, while Duván Vergara and Santiago Solari are still fighting for the last spot. After this friendly, the team led by Gustavo Costas will begin to map out what their debut in the Torneo Apertura will be, where they will start their journey with a visit to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata next Saturday at 19:30. The “Academy” has an intense 2026 ahead, where it will compete in the Torneo Apertura, the Torneo Clausura, and the Copa Argentina at the local level, while internationally it will go in search of its second Copa Sudamericana.
