Club Náutico Hacoaj, Metalúrgico and SAT sit level on six points at the top of Group A in the 2026 Torneo Promocional Amateur after two matches apiece. The three sides have each collected maximum points from their opening fixtures, creating an early deadlock at the summit.

Group B Leaders Pull Clear

Barrancas UMET holds a commanding position in Group B with 12 points from four matches, achieved through four wins and no defeats. Buenos Aires City FC and Alumni (Los Hornos) trail on five points each, leaving a clear gap between the frontrunner and the rest of the group.

Buenos Aires City FC Focus

Buenos Aires City FC operates as one of the city's established amateur sides in the Torneo Promocional Amateur. The team is managed by coach Matías Defederico and plays its home matches at the Everton 'Oscar Funes Pachi' venue. The club's campaign forms part of a wider network of amateur competition that draws on the city's 215 officially registered community sports clubs.

Broader Amateur Context

The Torneo Regional Federal Amateur completed its 2024/2025 season in February 2025, when Club Sportivo San Francisco de La Rioja topped Group 1. That earlier campaign underscores the ongoing structure of lower-tier amateur football across Argentina, with the current Promocional Amateur providing the latest chapter for Buenos Aires-based teams. The presence of 54 public football fields and more than 400 private amateur fields supports regular participation at this level.

Next Steps for the Sides

Teams will continue to build on their current tallies as the 2026 season progresses, with further matches determining whether the Group A deadlock persists or whether Barrancas UMET extends its advantage in Group B. Supporters can follow updates through established league reporting platforms that track these amateur divisions.
