FIBA released the dates and location of the last games of the group stage of Champions League Americas 2024/25. With 100% success and first place in Group B already guaranteed, The Pride of the Nation will travel to Buenos Aires in the first weeks of February to "comply with the schedule" in the last games against Boca Juniors (ARG) and Toros de Chiriqui (PAN).
The third and final round of the BCLA is scheduled to take place between the 5th and 11th of February, with Pride of the Nation taking the court on the 9th and 10th. The duels will be based at the Hector Etchart Gymnasium, in Buenos Aires, home of Boca. The team plays most of its games at the Luis Conde gym, 'La Bombonerita', but matches organized by FIBA are usually transferred to Etchart.
Check the match dates below; The times will be made official soon:
February 9 (Sunday): Boca Juniors x Flamengo
February 10th (Monday): Flamengo x Toros de Chiriqui
February 11th (Tuesday) ): Boca Juniors x Toros de Chiriqui
Even though it is already classified in the first position, since it wins the tiebreaker criteria and its rivals can at most draw, Flamengo will enter the court to win the matches. Also classified, Boca certainly does not intend to lose games in front of their fans, which makes the first match the big highlight of the window. Toros de Chiriqui lost all four games and has no chance of qualifying.
The Champions League of the Americas
The top two in each group advance to the stage quarter-finals, which will be played in March in a best-of-three series. The field control in the third game will be defined by the campaigns.

With a poor performance away from home, the Argentine team tries to stop Mengão's momentum in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Estudiantes faces Flamengo this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores . The Argentine club arrives under pressure due to irregular results in the season and seeks to rediscover the good football of the beginning of the year to overcome one of the strongest teams in Brazil.
In 2025, the La Plata team played 36 matches, totaling 15 wins, eight draws, and 13 losses, with 42 goals scored and 40 conceded, a success rate of just over 49%. Away from home, the record is even more challenging: in 18 away matches, they have recorded just five wins, four draws, and nine losses.
On the other hand, Flamengo has maintained a solid performance at Maracanã , where they have lost only four times this season, only two of which have come against the main team. This makes the match even more difficult for the Argentine team, which will need to overcome one of the most intense atmospheres on the continent.
While performance away from La Plata is a concern, Estudiantes ' home record is positive. In 17 matches, they've won nine, drawn four, and lost four . This home strength could be an asset in the return leg, but first, the team needs to contain Flamengo 's momentum in Rio de Janeiro.
A traditional Libertadores champion, Estudiantes shares the title with River Plate as the most successful Argentine team in the competition and demonstrates experience in knockout stages. In the current edition, they lost only two matches in the group stage, against Universidad de Chile and Botafogo. In the round of 16, they eliminated Cerro Porteño after a 1-0 away win and a 0-0 draw in the return leg in La Plata.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
