An arduous season with many games awaits Central and Newell’s, although for different reasons. Both will have a lot of competition, although in the case of Canalla the Copa Libertadores will be added. They will play Apertura, Clausura and Copa Argentina.
Central comes from being the most productive team in the regular phases of the Apertura and Clausura tournaments, which is why the Argentine Football Association awarded it the 2025 League title. Newell’s finished a terrible year, in which very little did not go to relegation.
El Canalla, in addition to the local objectives, imposes on itself a good performance in the Copa Libertadores, while the Rojinegro will have the premise of adding many points to get away from the fight to maintain the category, in which it is compromised due to its poor average.
When do the Rosarinos debut
The first to debut in the Argentine Cup will be Central. It will be against Sportivo San Francisco (Córdoba), on February 11. The choice of the stage and time of this match will be left for later.

In the case of Newell’s, its start in the Argentine Cup will be more than a month and a half later, on March 29. That day, Rojinegro will face Club Atlético Acasusso, one of the teams that surprised Argentine soccer in 2025 by being promoted to the Primera Nacional for the first time in its history. The court and schedule will also not be known for now.
How Central and Newell’s fared in 2025
In 2025, Central was left out in the round of 16, an instance in which they lost on panels against Unión after tying 0-0. This match was played at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás. In the previous instance they had left Los Andes behind, whom they beat 1 to 0.
Newell’s, meanwhile, reached the quarterfinals for the first time, where they were eliminated by Belgrano in Villa Mercedes. The red and black team lost 3 to 1 against the Pirate. On their way to the quarterfinals, the red and black left Kimberley, Defensa y Justicia and Atlético Tucumán on the way.
