The 2025 Copa Argentina final was the 63rd and final match of the 2025 Copa Argentina. It was played on 5 November 2025 at Estadio Monumental Presidente Perón in Córdoba[1] between Independiente Rivadavia and Argentinos Juniors.[2][3] Nicolás Ramírez was the referee for the match, which was the first in the tournament's history to use a video assistant referee (VAR).[4]
On 11 October 2025, Diego Rodríguez, the starting goalkeeper for Argentinos Juniors, suffered an ACL injury in his right knee.[5] Although the registration deadline had passed, Argentinos Juniors was permitted to register Sergio Romero as their new goalkeeper after he terminated his contract with Boca Juniors. Romero started in goal for the Copa Argentina semifinal and final.[6]
Independiente Rivadavia defeated Argentinos Juniors in the final on penalties to win their first tournament title.[7] As winners, Independiente Rivadavia qualified for the group stage of the 2026 Copa Libertadores and earned the right to play the winners of the 2025 Trofeo de Campeones in the 2025 Supercopa Argentina.[8]
