Boca Juniors are set to take on the Harlem Globetrotters in a historic celebration of their Liga Nacional title.
Boca won the championship with a 4-2 series defeat of Penarol in the final and want to show their appreciation of the fans' support with a match against basketball's most famous exhibition team.
A few details are yet to be confirmed, but Boca official Leonardo Minervini said the showpiece game will take place on June 8 at the Obras Sanitarias arena in Buenos Aires.
"The reason is the title celebration, but we also want it to be an event to celebrate the whole job Boca have been doing in professional basketball for a long time," said Minervini.
"Boca have starred in the Liga Nacional and also represented Argentina quite well internationally."
Minervini and other Boca officials will meet the Globetrotters' agents to sort out the final arrangments on Thursday.
