Racing will be the first to qualify for the final of the Clausura tournament, while today its rival will be determined, who will emerge from the classic between Gimnasia and Estudiantes. On Saturday, December 13th, the new Argentine football champion will be determined from 9 p.m. at the Único Madre de Ciudades stadium. However, his appointment continues to cause controversy as the high temperatures can be detrimental to players’ health and fans will have to travel as two teams from Buenos Aires province will decide the title.
In the last few days, Santiago del Estero recorded very high temperatures, there were more than 38 degrees and also warmth sensations of over 40 degrees.
Very high temperatures are expected next week, when the game takes center stage. Especially for the time in which this great game is played. Aside from the fact that both the AFA and the Professional League have indicated that the headquarters will not move and that long-standing plans will be adhered to, it remains to be seen whether there is an official request.
Undoubtedly, the controversy is not only about the long journey and distance that the fans of Racing and Gimnasia or Estudiantes will have to travel, but also about the oppressive heat that will prevail in the only mother of cities and which can damage the health of both footballers and fans. So far, Futbolistas Argentinos Gremiados has not commented on the matter and it is noticeable that it is not about defending the players.
It is worth noting that in the quarterfinal match that Estudiantes played against Central Córdoba in the quarterfinals, the thermometer in the stadium was over 43 degrees and the temperature sensation was over 50 degrees.
Due to the heat in the stands, people even fainted: at the duel between Ferroviario and Racing on November 3rd in the regular phase of the Clausura, a fan had to be treated by an ambulance in the oppressive heat. When he fainted, he had to be carried by other followers. The meeting was delayed for a few minutes.
