Days before the debut against Barracas Central, El Millonario made the squad numbers for 2026 official, with news in defense and attack
Two days before the debut in the 2026 Apertura Tournament, River made official the squad numbers that its players will use. The announcement arrived in the lead-up to the away debut against Barracas Central and brought several relevant changes compared to the previous season.
One of the most notable changes is in defense. Aníbal Moreno, who wore 4 during preseason, will switch to 6, which Germán Pezzella left vacant. That move will allow Pezzella himself to adopt 20, the number that belonged to Milton Casco, who left on a free transfer to Atlético Nacional after 10 years at the Núñez club.
Continuing with the new signings, Fausto Vera will wear 15, while Matías Viña will wear 18, a number that became available after the departure of Gonzalo "Pity" Martínez, Tigre's brand-new signing. Meanwhile, Tomás Galván, who returned from his loan at Vélez, will take 26, a jersey recently associated with Nacho Fernández, who in this transfer window returned to Gimnasia.

Among the internal changes, there will be a major novelty in the attacking front. Sebastián Driussi will be the new owner of the number 9 jersey, which became available after the departure of Miguel Borja, Cruz Azul's new player, and will leave 19 without an owner.
On the other hand, Gonzalo Montiel will give up 4, which will remain vacant, to switch to 29, while Ezequiel Centurión will wear 33 on his return to the club after his loan at Independiente Rivadavia.
