“In the framework of a new international match in La Bombonera, we call on the fans to reflect and experience the match with the passion that characterizes us but far from any type of racist demonstration and xenophobic acts,” the statement concluded.
The xeneize set will host Sportivo Trinidense of Paraguay at their stadium on Tuesday for the second date of Group D of the South American Cup. In the first leg, Boca drew 0-0 with Nacional Potosí.
