Guide to attending a Newell’s Old Boys match at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario
Fans of Newell’s Old Boys are known for their passion and spectacular displays of pyro and colour at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa (also known as El Coloso del Parque).
Sometimes when travelling abroad for a football match, it can be hard to find information about tickets and how you can attend the match. If you’re not a Spanish speaker, things get even more challenging when looking online to buy tickets for a Newell’s Old Boys match.
Fear not.
If you are planning to visit Rosario and would like to take in a Newell’s Old Boys home game, we’d love to provide an unforgettable match day experience for you and your group. This service provided by us includes match tickets, transfers to and from your accommodation in Rosario, and a chance to have a drink and buy a shirt outside the stadium as you soak up the pre-match atmosphere.
You will be escorted to the stadium by an English-speaking Newell’s Old Boys season ticket holder who will tell you about the history of the club, including why Newell’s fans worship Marcelo Bielsa, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi. You will also meet other Newell’s fans who are always happy to meet visitors to the stadium.

Reviews
Some feedback from fans who have joined us for games at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa.
“The visit surpassed our expectations and we felt well supported all the way. It was great to be part of an authentic Argentinian football experience with knowledgeable and friendly fans. The insights into the team, club and history of Marcelo Bielsa were particularly informative and helped us to understand the passions of the NOBs crowd. As for the match experience, which happened to be a night game, well that was something I can never forget! So glad we found such a great team to help us experience and most of all feel safe and welcome in such an amazing atmosphere!” – Margot, Leeds, UK
“That was absolutely incredible. The best thing I’ve done in a very long time. I have never been to a game like that and I don’t think I ever will until I return to Rosario (and I will). Thanks to Nicolas for all his organisation and help and to Ema and my good friend Pato. You hosted us so well, showed us the true fans, culture and we witnessed something which cannot be replicated. Thank you guys.” – Jack, UK.
“Absolutely fantastic 100%. From the start the guys are your friends in Rosario. Very honest and good company and will help you in anything you want to know even outside of the game with restaurant information and good things to see. On the day they are top notch company. Grab a beer, meet their friends. Soak up the atmosphere. A real privilege to be welcomed into their match day world. 5 stars. 100% etc.” – UK fan.
