Two football-mad halves of a football-mad city meet twice a year for the great superclásico matches. More than 65,000 fans stream into the stadium to watch Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors (Maradona's team) and River Plate fight it out.
On match days, the dress code in Buenos Aires is strictly blue and yellow or red and white. All thoughts of work disappear and crowds gather around any available television.
The fixture list can be found on the Football Universe website. The teams may also meet in the cup competitions; these fixtures will feature on the club websites.
