The decision was expected but Boca said he would appeal to the arbitration court.
Reuters could not get a comment from Boca.
Boca asked for the final leg of the final. Both teams were tied 2-2 at Pomponera Stadium on November 11th.
The Bucca bus was attacked by fans of the river in front of Monumental Stadium before the return match scheduled for November 24, causing several injuries and the cancellation of the confrontation.
The violence has forced leaders to travel to Madrid for the crucial match, which will take place Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to determine the winner of the title.
Boca, in his appeal, invoked another similar incident between the two teams three years ago, which ended in his exclusion from the Libertadores Cup after his fans attacked River players with pepper spray. after the break of the first half.
