Argentina's interior game faces a knockout weekend spread across an enormous map. From Friday 6 through Sunday 8 November, 22 fourth-round Regional Federal Amateur matches will be played, while the Federal A playoff opens its quarter-finals with Douglas Haig-Gimnasia de Chivilcoy on Saturday and Juventud Antoniana-Cipolletti plus Sarmiento de La Banda-Alvarado on Sunday. Kimberley-Olimpo follows on Thursday 12.
The North offers Altos Hornos Zapla-Talleres de Perico on Sunday at 18:00 and Deportivo Villa San Antonio-Concepción FC on Saturday at 22:00. In Cuyo, Sportivo Desamparados host Defensores de Belgrano of Villa Mercedes on Sunday at 20:30, while Argentino de Mendoza meet Pacífico at 18:00. Every narrow advantage must still survive a return match away from home.
The Central Region contains four games. Camioneros de Córdoba-General Paz Juniors opens Friday at 17:00; Sunday brings Defensores de la Boca-Unión Santiago at 16:00, Villa Cubas-Américo Tesorieri at 18:00 and Unión Lugones-Central Argentino at 18:30. The Catamarca derby and Santiago pairings add deep mutual knowledge to a stage that punishes every lapse in concentration.
In the Litoral, Colón de San Justo host Ben Hur on Sunday at 18:00 and Atlético Paraná receive Juventud Unida at 16:30. La Picada-Huracán de Goya and Sportivo Cultural-Municipal de Laishí both begin at 17:00. This block links Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Misiones, Corrientes, Chaco and Formosa, blending football performance with long journeys, short recovery and different surfaces.
Pampeana Norte features Atlético Chascomús-San Lorenzo de Villa Castells on Sunday at 16:00, Paraná FC-Malvinas on Saturday at 19:00, Atlético Baradero-9 de Julio de Chacabuco on Friday at 20:00 and Academia Mascherano-SOMISA on Saturday at 17:00. In Pampeana Sur, Ferro de General Pico-Huracán de Ingeniero White is Sunday at 20:00 and Racing de Olavarría-Deportivo Norte Friday at 21:00.
Patagonia completes the bracket with Jorge Newbery of Carmen de Patagones-Atlético Regina on Sunday at 15:00, Alianza of Cutral Co-Estudiantes of Bariloche at 16:00, the Jorge Newbery-CAI Comodoro Rivadavia derby also at 16:00 and Escorpión of Río Gallegos-Camioneros of Río Grande at 17:00. Distance, wind and transfers make physical management part of the match plan.
The programme extends beyond the men's competitions. Ferrocarril del Estado-Rincón opens the women's Regional Amateur on Saturday at 17:00, while Camioneros-Hispano Americano moves to the 14th. Sunday also brings Copa País semi-finals Catamarca-Albardón at 18:00 and San Jorge-Bahía Blanca at 16:00. This is more than an administrative list: each time coordinates travel, security and recovery in tournaments where one poor afternoon can end an entire season.
