The excellent condition of the Primero de Marzo Stadium once again stood out during Racing’s training session prior to its Copa Libertadores match against Atlético Bucaramanga.
The Argentine team, reigning champions of the Copa Sudamericana and Recopa, practiced at the UIS facilities, where players, directors and logistics personnel praised the quality of the stadium.
“I would like to thank the UIS for their hospitality, for having provided us with the facilities, it has been extremely important for the training prior to the match, very important, good hosts. The field is very good, it is a luxury to have these facilities and something so important for young people to have a place to play sports,” said Sebastián Saja, former player and current sports director of Racing.
Racing is one of the five great teams of Argentina, at the end of 2024 it won the Copa Sudamericana after beating Cruzeiro of Brazil and in February 2025 it beat Botafogo to be crowned in the Recopa Sudamericana.
In its history, it won the Copa Libertadores in 1967 after beating Nacional of Uruguay in the final and in the same year was world champion after its victory against Celtic of Scotland.
In this way, the Primero de Marzo Stadium continues to stand out as an ideal scenario for training in Conmebol tournaments, after the visits of Colo Colo, the Brazilian and Argentine Women’s National Team in 2022, América de Cali and Cerro Porteño in 2021 and the Brazilian U-23 National Team in 2020.
UIS Rector Hernán Porras Díaz received the Racing team at UIS.
