The expansion of the clubs' brand abroad is a good alternative to open markets.
In that sense,
Racing
seeks to penetrate North America.
That is why
Víctor Blanco
traveled with the
Newell's
delegation that last week played the international friendly with
Lionel Messi
's Inter in
Miami
.
The president's idea does not only have to do with organizing a party;
In addition, he has a preseason in mind.
The connection with the club of the Cuban
Jorge Más
, the main shareholder and president, the Englishman
David Beckham,
occurred a year ago, when the transfer of
Tomás Avilés
was agreed .
The young 20-year-old central marker arrived on the west coast of the
United States
in exchange for 9 million dollars for 80% of his share.
Since then, there has been a business relationship that has been strengthened.
Blanco got on the Rosario plane with
Claudio Tapia
, president of the AFA.
He was accompanied by his daughter, Barbara, the club's secretary.
“We took the opportunity to install
Racing
, we are going to use their facilities in the preseason and we could even play a friendly behind closed doors.
I would love it if in the future we could play in El Cilindro with Messi on the opposite team,” the blue and white boss told
Clarín
.
When is the tune-up scheduled in Florida?
It would be in the middle of the year, during the stoppage of the tournament precisely due to the Copa América, or in 2025.
Víctor Blanco, invited by @chiquitapia, visited the @afa offices in Miami.
He also met with Jorge Mas, president of @InterMiamiCF, to advance the preparations for the preseason that Racing has planned in that city.

The president gave Más a
Racing
shirt with his last name on the back and a present from the club.
At the
DRV Pink Stadium
, where Inter plays at home, Alejandro Domínguez, head of Conmebol, was also present.
In the preview, the
Racing
leaders went to see the AFA offices in Miami, which would be used as a bunker during the Copa América and, in the long term, in the 2026 World Cup that will also be held in
Canada
and
Mexico
.
The masterplan is focused on the construction of a training center with two professional courts.
