The Nov. 16 The one that is, in principle, the most attractive match of the South American Qualifiers will be played. After what the South American classic was suspended in São Paulo in the face of an unpublished episode, the Argentina Brazil this month raises even more expectations. Unfortunately, the national team will not be able to have full capacity.

Despite the fact that since Argentine Football Association (AFA) had announced last week the expansion of capacity with respect to the last presentations of the national team and that 100% of the San Juan Bicentennial Stadium would be used, a sanction of the FIFA forces to backtrack with this idea.

Now, those who attend the clash against Uruguay on November 16 must be respectful from their seats because if what happened at the Monumental is repeated, there could be a more severe punishment for the fans such as the prohibition to attend the next date.

What has not yet been defined is the price of the tickets.
