The Ministry of Security of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires made official the security operation that will be set up for the event, in total there will be 1,300 police officers, the City decided to reinforce the guards of squares and parks taking into consideration that it is September 21, day of spring in Argentina, the problem will not be inside the stadium, but outside, because the fans plan to throw a flag.

To make a contrast, you have to look at the number of police officers that the United States called for the Copa América final between Argentina and Colombia. In total there were 30 thousand police officers and still there were altercations. That is, almost 25 times more than the Boca Juniors vs River match, due to the call that the match has, the risk is greater than that of the Copa América.

It should be noted that in the Copa América the police were deployed throughout the entire city, because the objective was to control the people who were going to watch football on giant screens: "According to the sources consulted in the Police, a device with some 30,000 uniformed personnel, especially surveillance, who will be available at the transmission points - with giant screens - and the so-called 'zones of each city,' revealed El Tiempo

In Argentina there is a similar situation, because both Boca and River fans will be dispersed throughout the city, and if there is no control there may be problems among the fans. As revealed by TyC Sports, River's flag is already planned:

"River's flag has already been talked about because it is put together in advance. Of course it has its tricks: it is usually promoted by the Fan Subcommittee, but the one who has taken center stage in them is the bar." On the other hand, on Boca's part, it will not be the bar that is there, but rather self-convened fans: "On Boca's side, on the other hand, it will not be the bar but rather self-convened fans who have the idea of ​​going to cheer when the team goes up to the stadium." bus and leave the Intercontinental towards La Bombonera."

The biggest conflict between Boca Juniors and River Plate fan

For many, the super classic of January 27, 2002 was the most violent and regrettable in the history of Argentine soccer. Oscar Tabarez's Boca led Ramón Díaz's River 4-0, however, when 14 minutes into the second half there was an unprecedented free-for-all battle between fans that led to the immediate suspension of the game.

There were no fatalities in the stadium, but there were fatalities in the streets, as reported by colleagues from TyC Sports: "It is true that there were no fatalities on the field, but there were fatalities in the street. Fernando was murdered in the Rambla area. Palermo, Boca fan, attacked and stabbed by the River bar."
