The Copa Potrero is about to begin on November 15 at Club Municipal Lionel Messi, located in Pilar, Buenos Aires province.
With the aim of preserving the spirit of local football and raising its competitive standards, the tournament will take place from November 15 to 24.

Among the match rules, the offside rule will be positioned at the end of the central circle, adding a unique touch to the strategy of the game. In the event of a tie during the group stage, the result will be decided by a session of shots on goal from three penalties taken by a single player from each team.
With this initiative, “Kun” Agüero not only promotes local football but also revitalizes the potrero spirit, where Argentine football talents are born and solidified. (Information from Noticias Argentinas)
