Huracán-River will have a limited audience at Ducó: 15,000 fans permitted
The Huracán-River football match will have a reduced capacity of 15,000 spectators due to ongoing construction work near the stadium.
Huracán and the Buenos Aires City Government have reached an agreement to allow a limited number of fans to attend the Huracán-River match at the Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó, scheduled for Thursday night as part of the Apertura Tournament. The decision was made to ensure safety as construction work on the Estación Buenos Aires complex continues, particularly after a slab collapse in one of the parking lots located close to the stadium.
With a maximum capacity set at approximately one-third of the stadium's usual attendance, only 15,000 spectators will be allowed to witness the match. The reduced capacity is a precautionary measure taken by authorities to manage the crowd effectively and to use alternate access points that are away from the construction area, ensuring that safety protocols are strictly followed during the event.
This match is significant as it showcases local football culture and the ongoing commitment of both the club and city authorities to facilitate sporting events while addressing safety concerns. The decision highlights the delicate balance between maintaining fan engagement and ensuring the welfare of supporters in light of ongoing renovations and safety assessments near the stadium.
