The 2016 season is Club Atlético River Plate's 5th consecutive season in the top-flight of Argentine football. The season covers the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016.[1][2]
Season events
[edit]On February 3, Andrés D'Alessandro signed with River Plate on a one-year loan. It was his return after 13 years to the club in which he was formed and had made his first professional appearance in 2000.[3][4][5]
On February 15, River Plate introduced its new home kit for the 2016 season.[6]
On February 25, the team made its debut at the 2016 Copa Libertadores with a 4-0 away win against Trujillanos.[7]
On March 10, River Plate introduced the official away kit for the season. The model was inspired on the one that the club wore on the 1985/86 League, commemorating the 30th anniversary of that tournament won by the club.[8]
On April 5, River Plate introduced an alternative orange uniform, commemorating the 30th anniversary of a 2-0 win against Boca Juniors at La Bombonera, when the team did an olympic turn at the rival's stadium after winning the 1985/86 League. In that match, an orange ball was used due to the white confetti in the field, which made the regular white ball difficult to be seen.[9][10]
On May 4, River Plate was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores on the Round of 16 despite its 1-0 win at home over Independiente del Valle.[11]
