The new owner of Marcos Rojo's "6" in Boca Juniors is revealed.

Boca Juniors will face Independiente Rivadavia this Sunday night in a match that will be played at 8:30 p.m. at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium in Mendoza. This match, on the fifth matchday of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, will certainly feature a special event.

Coach Miguel Ángel Russo decided to call up around 30 players—all of whom he has available except for those who have been left out of the squad—to change the situation and break the club's 12-match winless streak. Among the new additions, we'll be able to see the heir to a historic jersey at the club.

Tonight there will be an important change in the shirts, since with the departure of Marcos Rojo , through a termination that took him on a free transfer to Racing, his number 6 shirt became available.

The truth is that this Sunday the new number bearer was confirmed: Rodrigo Battaglia, who will wear his third number in eight months at the club.

Let's remember that the midfielder had used the number 29 during the Clausura Tournament, after a gesture he had with Leandro Paredes when he gave him the number 5 , the first number he used in Boca.

The news was confirmed through a video in the locker room with the kit the players will wear against Independiente Rivadavia. Xeneize's official social media released a first image of Battaglia's jersey with this new number.
