Overview
- The match date and match officials have been announced with Leandro Rey Hilfer as referee and Diego Bonfa, Iván Núñez and Juan Pafundi named as his assistants.
- The AFA has yet to confirm the kickoff time or the stadium for the tie and is considering venues including San Nicolás and the Kempes in Córdoba.
- Estudiantes must complete its Copa Libertadores group stage at Estadio UNO before turning to the domestic cup, leaving coach Gabriel 'Cacique' Medina four days to prepare.
- Unfixed time and venue choices complicate travel for both sets of fans and could force extra trips or late changes to logistics for the clubs.
- The Copa Argentina 16avos is a single-elimination round that requires AFA coordination across club calendars, and the pending AFA decisions will determine match operations and recovery time for players.
