Police evacuated La Bombonera stadium, home to Argentina’s Boca Juniors club, hours before a rally to back the team as they prepare to play crosstown rival River Plate in Madrid for South America’s championship.
Police were still investigating the threat, La Nacion and Clarin reported, citing police. Fans gathered on late on Tuesday night near the stadium to wish the players well before their flight to Madrid on December 9.
Already one of football’s fiercest rivalries, the South American championship has been marred by delays and violence. President Mauricio Macri of Argentina called the attacks on players on November 24 a “national embarrassment” and pledged to crack down on hooligans.

______________
The Argentine league banned fans from visiting teams from attending matches that were not at their home club years ago. Macri is the former president of Boca.
The game was postponed on November 24 after River fans pelted the bus carrying Boca’s players, injuring the captain and breaking the vehicle’s windows. The replay was called off again on November 25 after the regional football body, Conmebol, said the conditions to play the game were not existent.
Conmebol decided that the game cannot be played in Argentina and set the match for December 9. River have said they are against the game being played abroad.
