The match will take place on 15 August, just two days after Barcelona play the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla.

Boca last competed for the trophy in 2008 and will compete for the title for the sixth time. Boca have only won in 2003, defeating the Catalonian club on penalties.

The current Argentine champions will have a difficult challenge to start of the season.
