Overview

[edit]
A team of Racing in 1960

The Liga Cordobesa had won the Copa de la República (also named "Campeonato Interligas") in December 1958 after defeating the Liga Mendocina of Mendoza Province) 1–0 in the final held in Gimnasia y Esgrima Stadium in the city of Mendoza. The team had previously eliminated Tres Arroyos (withdrew), and San Juan (2–1) representatives.[4]

On the other hand, Racing Club had won the Primera División title in 1958 with 41 points in 30 matches played, above Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo which finished in the 2nd. and 3rd. positions respectively.[6] Nevertheless, one of the most Racing notable players in that championship, Oreste Corbatta[7] (considered the greatest idol in the history of Racing and regarded as the best Argentine winger ever)[8][9][10] could not play the final.[1]

Most of the footballers that played the final v the Cordobese team would then play in the Copa Suecia final vs Atlanta, held in April 1960.[11]
