Former Argentine striker Carlos Tevez has reached an agreement with Boca Juniors president Juan Roman Riquelme to hold a testimonial match at the La Bombonera stadium. The event is scheduled to take place on December 19, 2026, serving as a formal celebration of Tevez's career with the club. During his time at Boca, Tevez recorded 94 goals in 279 appearances and secured 11 titles.

The match is expected to feature a host of international stars, with Tevez confirming he is in personal contact with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Andrea Pirlo to invite them to the event.
