With visiting fans! Central Córdoba enabled tickets for Boca
Boca Juniors is preparing to travel to Santiago del Estero, where this Friday they will visit Central Córdoba for the ninth date of the Apertura 2025.
The good news that was confirmed on Monday is that a handful of Xeneize fans will be able to be present at the Estadio Madre de Ciudades to cheer on Fernando Gago's team in a new "final" for the local tournament.Confirmado: 4.000 hinchas de Boca Juniors, como Neutrales, podrán estar en el Madre de Ciudades para el partido con Central Córdoba.

According to Leandro Aguilera, a journalist for TyC Sports, the Santiago del Estero club enabled part of the South Stand of the beautiful Estadio Madre de Ciudades for the presence of 'neutral' fans.
The local fans of Ferroviario will fill the rest of the stadium to cheer on a team that has turned this venue into a truly impregnable stronghold. The team led by Omar de Felippe has not lost or conceded goals while playing at home in the tournament so far.
But now they receive a wounded Boca, which is going through critical hours. Eliminated from the Copa Libertadores 2025, and with no more competition than the local tournament until June (when the 2025 Club World Cup begins), Fernando Gago's team will arrive in Santiago del Estero with the mission of showcasing its title contender badge, and imposing itself through play and attitude, great debts pending so far.
About 4000 fans, in theory neutral, will not be able to hide their sympathy for the Xeneize and will be expectant to see them, in what promises to be a great match.

Defending champion Botafogo knocked out of Copa Libertadores by Ecuador's Liga de Quito
Botafogo, the defending Copa Libertadores champion coached by Carlo Ancelotti's son, was knocked out in the round of 16 on Thursday by Ecuador's Liga de Quito. Davide Ancelotti 's team won the first leg at home 1-0 last week, but lost 2-0 to the Ecuadorian club in the return leg. Liga de Quito will take on another Brazilian team, Sao Paulo FC, in the quarterfinals. Gabriel Villamil scored in the 7th minute and Lisandro Alzugaray converted from the spot in the 60th at Quito. The 35-year-old Ancelotti joined the Brazilian club in July for his first experience as a full-time coach. Last month, Ancelotti was contracted through 2026 after Botafogo owner John Textor fired Renato Paiva following the team's round-of-16 elimination at the Club World Cup. The Italian coach has worked for more than a decade alongside his father in different roles at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid. He is also part of Ancelotti's staff at Brazil's national team.

The club announced that the 20-year-old midfielder had to undergo surgery on his appendix at short notice. Sky report that he might not return to action before the first international break of the season. The German international played his first official games for Bayern in the Club World Cup and the Franz Beckenbauer-Supercup.

Erich Sailer, youth ski coach of Olympians including Lindsey Vonn, dies at 99
Erich Sailer, a Hall of Fame coach who developed young skiers who became Olympians, including Lindsey Vonn, has died at age 99. His death was confirmed by Buck Hill Ski and Snowboard Area in Minnesota, where he coached from 1969 to 2022. Sailer (SY-ler), a native Austrian, instructed thousands on a bump of a slalom slope with little more than 300 vertical feet overlooking Interstate 35 just south of Minneapolis. Sailer taught Vonn's father, Alan Kildow, and then Vonn, who joined the Buck Hill team at age 7, then moved around age 11 to more challenging mountains in Colorado. 'It's hard to put into words how much of an Impact Erich Sailer had on my life but I will try,' Vonn posted. 'Erich was more than my ski coach. More than my father's ski coach. Erich was my family. My father has known him for 62 years and he has been a part of my life since I was born. There is no doubt that I would not be the person or skier I am today without him. The entire ski racing community would not be the same without him. He single handedly did more for skiing than any other coach in America and perhaps the world. Even from the small but mighty Buck Hill, Minnesota-which he put on the map as a premier racing program. 'Today we mourn but also must celebrate Erich. He would want us to be on the mountain, doing what we love to do; ski. I know he's got his hand timer up there, making sure we are always getting faster and still getting upset with me when I'm leaning too much on my inside ski.' Vonn wrote in 'Rise,' her 2022 memoir, about Sailer moving to the U.S. in 1955. 'The story goes that when he first arrived, he had thirty-five dollars in his pocket and the only word he knew how to say in English was 'hamburger,'' she wrote. After running ski camps in Oregon and Montana, he moved to Minnesota and produced a premier developmental ski racing program. He jokingly called a young Vonn 'a turtle.' Of her first races, he said, 'You could walk faster than she skied,' according to The New York Times. Yet Sailer shook his head when told by others that Vonn should change her technique. 'You're fast the way you are,' Vonn wrote. 'That's the best piece of advice he ever gave me.' She improved under Sailer, following his training routine of skiing 1,000 gates per day on weekends. 'Up and down the mountain, day after day — nights, weekends, holidays — Lindsey was always there, and she never complained,' Sailer said, according to a 2010 Times story. 'She would go until we turned off the lights at night.' Those hours with Sailer laid the foundation for a legendary career: the first U.S. woman to win Olympic downhill gold in 2010, plus four World Cup overall season titles and 82 individual World Cup race victories. 'For the people that live here, they don't need a big mountain,' Sailer told NBC's Twin Cities affiliate earlier this year. 'She proved it.' Sailer and Vonn FaceTimed on the eve of her final race before her 2019 retirement. 'Of course you can do it!' he told her that night, Vonn wrote. 'It's nothing! What's a minute and a half? I'm ninety-three!' Last fall, Vonn ended a five-year retirement. She is bidding to race at a fifth and final Olympics next February. 'Erich… I will try to make my last turns in ski racing fast for you… I will try to make them mean something more for you,' she posted Thursday while at a preseason training camp in New Zealand. 'You always believed in me… even now, at 40. Your passion and love for skiing was the same as when I was a kid. I'm so thankful I got to see you this summer. Thankful to hear that belief in me one last time. I will use that when I'm in the starting gate this last season but also for the rest of my life. I will never forget you. Never.' Sailer, inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2005, was also a youth coach for retired Olympians Kristina Koznick and David Chodounsky and active Olympians Paula Moltzan and Sarah Schleper. 'There are no words. My heart is broken, yet I have never felt more grateful,' Koznick posted. 'You were my coach. You were my mentor. You poured your heart and soul into me. I was so blessed to know and love you Erich. The ski racing was just frosting on the top. All the wins were filled with joy because you helped me get there. A big piece of me feels missing without you here. I don't remember my life on earth without you in it. It won't be the same without you…… but I will see you again someday. I can't wait. I love you!!!'
