They said it couldn’t be done. We are doing it anyway.

Buenos Aires is one of the great football cities on earth, and a trip we have wanted to make happen for years.

The main event? You are guaranteed a Boca Juniors or River Plate home game. Whichever giant you do not see play, we will take you behind the scenes with a stadium tour instead.

And because this is Secret Match Day, we are not just selling you a match ticket and leaving you to figure out the other 6,000 miles yourself. Your return flights, six nights’ accommodation and match ticket are all part of the package. You will also have a local guide who takes the group to the game and out afterwards, so you get to experience a Buenos Aires matchday with someone who actually knows the city.

Come with your mates. Come on your own. Either works. There will be optional meetups throughout the trip for anyone who wants to explore, eat, drink or catch more football with the rest of the group. Join everything, join some of it, or disappear into Buenos Aires for the day and do your own thing.

This is Secret Match Day, just a little further from home.
