Football, music and food: Mineiro and Botafogo fans turn the FanZone black and white :: Olé

The 2,700 kilometers that separate Buenos Aires from Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte are not reason enough to stop the Brazilian party in Argentina. While the Monumental finalizes preparations for Saturday’s grand final, the fans of Atlético Mineiro y Botafogo They are in charge of painting the capital of Buenos Aires black and white. One of the ideal places to do it is the FanZone, located on the Paseo de la Costa de Vicente Lópezwhere football, music and food sign their presence and advance the exciting activity of the weekend.

If there is a party, it is because there are Brazilians nearby. As the days of November progress, the city began to become increasingly populated with black and white t-shirts: in restaurants, on the streets, in shops…. This phenomenon is reflected in the rapid sale of tickets by of the Botafogo fans, who soon exhausted the 22,000 tickets awarded by Conmebol. With these data, the town in the north of Buenos Aires has become a small part of Brazil within Argentina.

And nowhere else can you experience the preview of the Copa Libertadores like in Vicente López’s FanZone. From Wednesday, November 27 to Friday, November 29, the event organized by Conmebol for fans will be open to the public from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Not only is it a place populated by Brazilians but it is for all those who want to enjoy the weather prior to the definition.
