Primera Nacional round 25 has been scheduled as an 18-match cross-group programme from Friday 14 to Monday 17 August. The fixtures bring together clubs from the two groups and once again display the division’s territorial scale, with action stretching from Jujuy and Salta to Chubut and Mendoza.
The round opens on Friday with Acassuso-Midland at 15:00 and Atlético Rafaela-Defensores de Belgrano at 20:30. The first day offers two different settings: an afternoon meeting in Buenos Aires province and a night closer in Santa Fe before the schedule expands over the weekend.
Saturday concentrates eight matches. Ferro-Atlanta, Deportivo Morón-Almagro, Estudiantes-Chacarita, Agropecuario-Ciudad de Bolívar and San Miguel-Colegiales all kick off at 15:00. Mitre-Güemes follows at 16:00, Godoy Cruz-Deportivo Maipú stages the Mendoza encounter from 18:00 and Quilmes-San Telmo closes the day at 19:00.
Sunday features seven fixtures with a strong presence from Argentina’s interior. Tristán Suárez hosts Almirante Brown at 15:00 and Colón meets Patronato at 15:30. The slate then continues with Gimnasia de Jujuy-Chaco For Ever, Racing de Córdoba-San Martín de San Juan, Central Norte-Gimnasia y Tiro at the Padre Martearena, San Martín de Tucumán-Deportivo Madryn and Temperley-Los Andes.
The round concludes at 15:00 on Monday 17 with All Boys-Nueva Chicago. That will be the only fixture on the fourth day, completing a schedule that combines nearby matchups with long journeys. Every institution must coordinate travel, recovery and preparation within the same competitive window.
The cross-group round does not remove the identity of the two sections, but it does create a distinctive map of matchups in the calendar. With dates and times published, the sporting task is now to reach the weekend prepared for a round containing traditional rivalries, regional meetings and games between clubs separated by great distances.
