The fire surprised residents of Carlos Spegazzini and Ezeiza on Friday night. The explosion and orange glow that could be seen in the distance were understood shortly after the fire in the industrial center was identified, which was brought under control only on Saturday. However, due to the magnitude of the event, Boca decided to move its training to Casa Amarilla, in La Boca, and close the Boca Predio complex located in Ezeiza.
Although it is 11 kilometers away, the toxic smoke resulting from the fire of agrochemical factories and plastic containers sparked an alert from the regional and health authorities and the club decided to close Boca Predeo throughout the day on Saturday while the environmental situation is assessed and the consequences of the fire are monitored.
The decision directly affected the reserve, because he was scheduled to train there before the quarter-final match against Instituto in the Projection Championship, on Wednesday the 19th in Ezeiza. For this reason, the boys were taken to Casa Amarilla to do the morning training without problems and were waiting for what would happen in the next few hours, although it was expected that the rain would finish the work of the firefighters to return to training in Boca Predeo. The team has just beaten Lanus 1-0, while Cordoba beat Racing on penalties.
What happened to the first? He had already been focused since Friday night at the Intercontinental Hotel and was scheduled to train this Saturday morning at Casa Amarilla, as was the custom a few weeks ago when Claudio Úbeda took office. After that, the coach informed the players he had selected of the final date for the regular stage of the final tournament, on Sunday against Tigre in La Bombonera.

With the presence of Edinson Cavani, a couple of young players and a series of footballers still omitted, it was striking that the Uruguayan continues to train alone, without participating in teamwork and did not add minutes until last Sunday, when he could have entered a scheduled Superclasico from the bench.
On the other hand, “The Siphon” decided to compensate for the absence of Lautaro de Lolo and Milton Jimenez, one of whom received five yellow cards and the other as a precautionary measure because he had four cards, with two young players who were pillars of the reserve: center back Mateo Mendia and striker Valentino Simeone.
Ubeda’s decision to call up two kids and rule out Lucas Blundel, Nacho Miramon, Franck Fabra and Agustin Martigani is also understood to be a decision for 2026. For their part, Rodrigo Battaglia and Allan Velasco are still out due to injury.
