Gate-side sportswear fix at AEP’s main departures level
Open Sports sits in Aeroparque Jorge Newbery’s main departures shopping strip, past security, and works as a last-minute stop for clothing and gear. You’ll see the bright football shirts and running shoes before you spot the sign. Stock skews to Argentine teams and global brands, so you can grab a Boca or River jersey as easily as a Nike training top.
Hours generally track flight banks, opening early morning and running into the late evening whenever AEP has departures. Prices sit in regular-city-store territory, not duty-free; a branded club shirt or official jersey can easily hit several tens of US dollars at current exchange rates. This is more “I forgot something” or “I want a team shirt now” than bargain hunting.
Think basics and fan gear: T‑shirts, hoodies, joggers, caps, and gym bags are usually lined up by size, with footwear along one wall. If you land in Buenos Aires and realize your suitcase missed the connection, this is one of the few post-security spots in AEP where you can at least grab functional sportswear before heading into town.
Don’t expect technical mountaineering kit or niche tennis gear; Open Sports at Aeroparque behaves like a compact mall sports shop dropped into the terminal. Stock turns over with football seasons and promotions, so shirt availability for specific players or teams changes month to month.
Tip: If you want time to try on shoes or compare jersey styles, stop at Open Sports right after security rather than on the walk to boarding, since AEP’s domestic gates can bunch passengers and slow you down in the last 15 minutes before departure.
