On Wednesday, the grand final of the Copa Argentina will take place between Argentinos Juniors and Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza. Neither team has ever won this trophy in their history. The match will be held at the Juan Domingo Perón stadium in Córdoba and is scheduled for 21:10 local time. It will be broadcast by TyC Sports. The main referee for the match is Nicolás Ramírez, while Héctor Paletta will be in charge of the VAR. Argentinos Juniors, led by Nicolás Diez, showed an excellent level on their way to the final, not needing to go to a penalty shootout at any stage. The team thrashed Central Norte de Salta and Excursionistas 3-0 in the Round of 32 and Round of 16, then went on to defeat Aldosivi 2-1, Lanús 1-0, and Belgrano de Córdoba 2-1. Throughout 2025, Argentinos Juniors was one of the teams in Argentine football that demonstrated a solid playing style and successfully implemented it on the field. Independiente Rivadavia, on the other hand, is one of the biggest surprises in Argentine football. Under the leadership of Alfredo Berti, with Colombian Sebastián Villa as the star player, the team dreams of winning its first title. On their way to the final, the team coached by Berti defeated Estudiantes de Buenos Aires (1-0), Platense (2-2 and 3-1 on penalties), Central Córdoba de Rosario (2-1), Tigre (3-1), and River Plate (0-0 and 4-3 on penalties). Argentinos Juniors' best result in the Copa Argentina had been reaching the semi-finals in 2014 and 2021, while the Mendoza team had only made it as far as the Round of 16. This final has double value, as the winner will not only take the Copa Argentina title but also secure a spot in the 2026 Copa Libertadores. The possible lineups and other details of the match will be announced later.
