Goalkeeper Vozinha was called up by Cape Verde, while Chile summoned Jonathan Villagra, Víctor Felipe Méndez, Diego Ulloa, and Iván Román. In addition, Arturo Vidal remains doubtful due to an ankle knock, and several youth players have joined La Roja’s under-20 and under-17 squads.

How is Racing shaping its lineup for 2027?

Coach Chirola Romero will use the fixture to evaluate squad depth and manage physical workloads after a demanding season, Racing de Alma reported. The team arrives without Maravilla Martínez, Mateo Martínez, Escudero, and Tello.

The match serves as a final outing before a prolonged break from official competition. Racing finished its domestic campaign following a 2-1 win over Aldosivi, after failing to qualify for an international tournament through the annual table, as TyC Sports noted.

Tickets for the match are available exclusively for local supporters in all sectors of the venue in Collao. Parking passes are also on sale for $15.000 pesos.
