132nd Argentine Open Amended Dates

Zone deciders delayed by rain

Following heavy rainfall, the zone decider matches for The 132nd Argentine Open which were scheduled to be played over the weekend, have been postponed and will be played at the start of this week instead. 
On Tuesday 2 December, the last matches for the definition of Zone A will be played with Los Machitos El Refugio vs La Zeta Kazak (2pm local time), with La Zeta Kazak requiring a win to avoid being eliminated from the 2026 Triple Crown. All eyes will be on the following match between La Natividad La Dolfina vs UAE (4.30pm local time) in a clash of the undefeated teams in a 'Semi Final'; the clash will not only be for a spot in the most coveted Final of 2025, but also a rematch of this year’s Hurlingham Open Final (which was won by La Natividad La Dolfina).
On Wednesday 3 December, La Ensenada Clonargen will face La Dolfina II at 2pm local time. La Dolfina II secured this year’s spot from the Qualification Tournament and need a win to continue with a chance of pre-qualifying for the 2026 Triple Crown. The second match of the day will see an undefeated Ellerstina Indios Chapaleufu against La Irenita La Hache Clinova (4.30pm local time) in another important ‘Semi Final’; despite their defeat in the previous round, if La Irenita La Hache Clinova win, they will secure a spot in the Final.
