The 2023 Supercopa Argentina was the tenth edition of the Supercopa Argentina, an annual football match played between the winners of the Argentine Primera División and Copa Argentina. The match was contested by the 2023 Primera División champions River Plate and the 2023 Copa Argentina winners Estudiantes (LP) on 13 March 2024 at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, Córdoba. River Plate were appearing in the competition for the fifth time, while Estudiantes were making their first appearance.
River Plate qualified as a result of winning the Argentine Primera División, finishing 11 points ahead of the second-placed team. Estudiantes entered the competition after winning the Copa Argentina final against Defensa y Justicia 1–0.
Watched by a crowd of 55,000, Javier Correa gave Estudiantes an early lead after scoring in the second minute of play. River Plate equalised in the 79th minute when Zaid Romero scored an own goal, and they later completed the comeback courtesy of a long-range shot from Rodrigo Aliendro in stoppage time. Following a 2–1 scoreline, River Plate secured their third Supercopa Argentina title.
Founded in 2012, the Supercopa Argentina was established as a contest between the Primera División champions and Copa Argentina winners, taking inspiration from its European variations.[3] The annual football match was originally meant for the champions of the latter competition and the Copa Campeonato, which paired the Torneo Inicial and Torneo Final winners, as single tournaments with only one champion per season were not held in Argentina.[4] The top division was later changed to have 30 teams compete during the 2015 season, effectively ending the purpose of the Copa Campeonato.[5] From that year until 2025, whichever team won the league title qualified for the Supercopa Argentina as the league reigning champions.[6]
