On 3 April 1905, a group of Italian boys (more specifically from [[Genoa]]) met in order to find a club.

Other important founding members include Arturo Penney, Marcelino Vergara, Luis Cerezo, Adolfo Taggio, Giovanelli, Donato Abbatángelo, and Bertolini.


In 1913, Boca was promoted to [[Argentine Primera División|Primera División]] after some previous failed attempts. This was possible when the [[Argentine Football Association|Argentine Association]] decided to increase the number of teams in the league from 6 to 15.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/argall.html |title=RSSSF Argentine divisional movements |date=6 December 2006 |website=[[RSSSF]] |access-date=5 May 2013}}</ref>
Boca Juniors played in local leagues and the amateur second division until being promoted to the first division in 1913, when the division was expanded from six teams to 15.<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/argall.html RSSSF Argentine divisional movements]</ref> Boca were never relegated; they won six amateur championships (1919, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1926, and 1930).<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/argchamp.html RSSSF Argentine divisional movements]</ref> With the introduction of professionalism in Argentina, Boca won the first title in 1931.<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/arg31.html RSSSF List of Argentine champions and runners up]</ref>

In 1925, Boca made [[1925 Boca Juniors tour to Europe|its first trip to Europe]] to play in [[Spain]], [[Germany]] and [[France]]. The squad played a total of 19 games, winning 15 of them. For that reason Boca was declared "Campeón de Honor" (Champion of Honour) by the Association.
===Team colors===
The original jersey colour was pink, which was quickly abandoned for thin black-and-white vertical stripes.<ref>[http://www.solodeportes.com.ar/shop/detalle.asp?oynprodid=1653 Solodeportes centenery edition of the shirt]</ref> The legend has it that in 1906 Boca played another team that used these colors, to decide who would get to keep them.

According to the club's official site, the original jersey colour was a white shirt with thin black vertical stripes, being then replaced by a light blue shirt and then another striped jersey before adopting the definitive blue and gold.<ref name=colores/> Nevertheless, another version states that Boca Juniors' first jersey was pink, although it has been questioned by some journalists and historians who state that Boca, most probably, never wore a pink jersey, by pointing out the lack of any solid evidence and how this version stems from, and is only supported on, flawed testimonies.<ref name=cecad>{{cite web|url=http://www.calameo.com/read/002128811888b619ba582 |title=La camiseta rosa |first1=Javier |last1=Vaca |first2=Sergio |last2=Lodise |work=Revista del CECAD #3 February 2013 |publisher=Calameo.com |access-date=5 May 2013}}</ref>

Legend has it that in 1906, Boca played Nottingham de Almagro. Both teams wore such similar shirts that the match was played to decide which team would get to keep it. Boca lost, and decided to adopt the colors of the flag of the first boat to sail into the port at La Boca. This proved to be a [[Sweden|Swedish]] ship, therefore the yellow and blue of the Swedish flag were adopted as the new team colours.<ref>{{cite news|author=Georgina Turner and James Dart |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/theknowledge/story/0,13854,1643916,00.html |title=Turner, Georgina & Dart, James.

Through Boca Juniors history, the club has worn some alternate "rare" models, such as the [[AC Milan]] shirt in a match versus [[Universidad de Chile]] (whose uniform was also blue) in the [[1963 Copa Libertadores]].<ref>[https://442.perfil.com/2012-06-14-135179-boca-fue-el-milan-contra-la-u/ Boca fue el Milan contra la "U"], ''Perfil'', 14 June 2012</ref> When [[Nike, Inc|Nike]] became official kit provider in 1996, the first model by the company introduced two thin white stripes surrounding the gold band, causing some controversy.<ref name=dpopu>[https://www.diariopopular.com.ar/futbol/las-camisetas-mas-polemicas-boca-lo-largo-su-historia-n177482 Las camisetas más polémicas de Boca a lo largo de su historia], ''Diario Popular'', 8 December 2013</ref><ref>[http://www.planetabocajuniors.com.ar/maradona-estoy-enfermo-por-la-camiseta-rosa/ Interview to Diego Maradona] in Planeta Boca Juniors</ref> The brand also introduced a silver jersey designed exclusively for the [[1998 Copa Mercosur]]. For the 100th anniversary of the club, Nike launched commemorative editions of several models worn by the club since its foundation, including a version of the 1907 shirt with the diagonal sash, which was worn in two matches during the 2005 [[Torneos de Verano (Argentina)|Torneo de Verano]] (Summer Championship).<ref>[https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/banda-amarilla-salio-cancha_0_Skhkw51CFg.html "La banda amarilla salió a la cancha"], ''Clarín'', 15 January 2005</ref> Other models were a black and white striped jersey (similar to [[Juventus FC]])<ref>[http://www.planetabocajuniors.com.ar/la-camiseta-nueva-a-la-venta/comment-page-1/ La camiseta nueva, a la venta]</ref> and a purple model,<ref>[https://www.clarin.com/deportes/viene-estreno-camiseta-suplente-violeta_0_ryCxehjvme.html Se viene el estreno de la camiseta violeta], ''Clarín'', 11 January 2013</ref> worn in the 2012 and 2013 "Torneos de Verano," respectively.

====Jerseys====
===Badge===
The club has had five different designs for its badge during its history, although its outline has remained unchanged through most of its history. The first known emblem dates from 1911, appearing on the club's [[letterhead|letterhead papers]]. In October 1932, the club stated that one star would be added to the badge for each [[Argentine Primera División|Primera División]] title won.<ref name=hdb/> Nevertheless, the stars would not appear until 1943, on a ''Report and Balance Sheet''.<ref name=actual/><ref name=hdb/>
A list of all the original jerseys is also available at the club's [http://www.bocajuniors.com.ar/el-club/camiseta official website.]

A version with laurel leaves appeared in a magazine in 1955 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the club,<ref name=actual/> although the club never used it officially.<ref name=hdb/>

The emblem with the stars was announced in 1932, but it has regularly appeared on Boca Juniors uniforms since 1993.<ref name=actual>[http://bocajuniors.com.ar/el-club/escudo El escudo] on Boca Juniors website, retrieved 22 March 2019</ref>

In 1996, the [[Ronald Shakespear]] Studio introduced a new badge (with the horizontal band suppressed) as part of a visual identity for the club. The new Boca Juniors image also featured new typography and style.<ref>[http://www.shakespearweb.com/portfolio/boca/ "Boca"] on Shakespear website</ref><ref>[https://www.clarin.com/opinion/identidad_visual-_ciudad_de_buenos_aires_0_SJv5kyKwXx.html Ronald Shakespear; el diseñador omnipresente] by Ariel Hendler on ''Clarín'', 20 December 2015</ref>

===Badge===
{{reflist|group=note6}}
The club have had five different crests in their history, the outer shape of the crest has remained unchanged throughout Boca's history. In 1955, laurel leaves were added to celebrate the club's 50th anniversary, and the colours were changed to match those on the team's jersey.<ref>[http://www.bocajuniors.com.ar/el-club/escudo Boca Juniors official website: crests]</ref>
In 1970, one star was added to the badge for each title won<ref>[http://ar.geocities.com/bocaverense/#6 Boca Verense site]</ref> domestically (top part, above the initials) and internationally (bottom part). A new star was added to the corresponding section whenever Boca wins a title. To the delight of fans, the crest had to be modified several times in recent years. In 2007 the club changed its crest to include only 3 stars, one for each [[Intercontinental Cup]] / [[World Club Championship|Club world title]] {{Fact|date=October 2007}}.

On 25 May 1916, Boca Juniors opened its [[Estadio Ministro Brin y Senguel|new stadium at the intersection of Ministro Brin and Senguel streets]], playing there until 1924 when the club moved to Brandsen and Del Crucero (Del Valle Iberlucea nowadays) streets, to build a [[Estadio Brandsen y Del Crucero|new stadium]] there, which lasted until 1938 when the club decided to build a totally new venue, made of concrete grandstand instead of wood.<ref name=planeta>[http://www.planetabocajuniors.com.ar/institucion/estadio/ "La Bombonera" on Planeta Boca Juniors]</ref>
==Stadium==


Building of Boca Juniors' current stadium began in 1938, under the supervision of Engineer José L. Delpini. Boca played its home matches in [[Ferro Carril Oeste]]'s [[Estadio Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverry|Estadio Ricardo Etcheverry]] in [[Caballito, Buenos Aires|Caballito]] until it was completed on 25 May 1940.<ref name="lapasiondeboca.com"/> A third level was added in 1953, originating then its nickname ''[[La Bombonera]]'' ('The Chocolate Box').<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.midfielddynamo.com/stadia/intimidating.htm |title=Midfield Dynamo stadium profiles |publisher=Midfielddynamo.com |access-date=5 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114103645/http://www.midfielddynamo.com/stadia/intimidating.htm |archive-date=14 November 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The stand opposite the ''Casa Amarilla'' railway platforms remained mostly undeveloped until 1996, when it was upgraded with new balconies and quite expensive VIP boxes. Three sides of the Bombonera are thus made up of traditional sloping stadium stands, but the fourth side was built vertically, with several seating areas stacked one on top of the other, the only way that makes it stand into the club premises.

Boca Juniors used several fields before settling on the current grounds on Brandsen. Their first ground was in ''la Dársena Sur'' but it was vacated in 1907 because it failed to meet the minimum requirements of the league, they then used three pitches in the ''Isla Demarchi'' area between 1908 and 1912.<ref name="lapasiondeboca.com">[http://www.lapasiondeboca.com/la-bombonera-la-cancha-de-boca La Pasion Boca-Boca and their stadiums {{es icon}}]</ref> Between 1914 and 1915 the club moved away from La Boca for the only time in their history, moving to [[Wilde, Buenos Aires|Wilde]] in the [[Avellaneda Partido]] of the [[Buenos Aires Province]] but a relatively poor season<ref>[http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/arg15.html RSSSF Argentina 1915]</ref> and low attendances in 1915 forced them to move back to La Boca.


La Bombonera currently has a capacity of 57,200 after small renovation works in the 2020s. The Boca Juniors usually play their league games in front of capacity crowds.

On May 25, 1916 Boca opened their new stadium on the intersection of Calle Ministro Brin and Calle Senguel they stayed there until 1924 when they moved to their current location on Calle Brandsen and Calle Del Crucero.


Apart from the venues listed, Boca Juniors also played its home games at [[Estudiantes de Buenos Aires]]'s stadium (in 1913, then located on Figueroa Alcorta Avenue)<ref>[http://www.historiadeboca.com.ar/partido/boca-1-banfield-1-campeonato-1913/3179.html Historia de Boca Juniors: 1913]</ref> and [[Estadio Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverri|Ferro Carril Oeste stadium]] (1938–40, while ''La Bombonera'' was under construction).<ref>[http://www.historiadeboca.com.ar/campeonato-1938/1938/7.html Historia de Boca Juniors: 1938]</ref>
Construction work on the concrete structure of their current stadium started in 1938 under the supervision of [[Engineer]] José L.Delpini. Boca played their home matches in the [[Ferrocarril Oeste]] field in [[Caballito]] until the structure was completed in 1940.<ref name="lapasiondeboca.com"/> A third level was added in 1953, giving the ground its nickname ''[[La Bombonera]]'' ('The Chocolate Box').<ref>[http://www.midfielddynamo.com/stadia/intimidating.htm Midfield Dynamo stadium profiles]</ref> The side opposite the ''Casa Amarilla'' railway platforms remained mostly unbuilt until 1996, when it was upgraded with new balconies and VIP booths. Three sides of the Bombonera are made up of traditional sloping stadium stands, but the fourth side had to be built vertically, with several seating areas stacked one on top of the other, to stay within the stadium's property. La Bombonera is renowned for vibrating when fans start to jump in rhythm; in particular, the unique vertical side will sway slightly, leading to the phrase, "the Bombonera does not tremble.

The naming of "La 12" (the twelfth player), by which Boca Juniors' fans became known, dates back to the year 1925, during the European tour they made that year. At that time, the team was accompanied by a Boca fan called Victoriano Caffarena, who belonged to a wealthy family and funded part of the tour. During that tour he helped the team in everything, thus establishing a strong relationship with the players, so they named him "Player No. 12". When they returned to Argentina, Caffarena was as well known as the players themselves. Nowadays, this nickname is used primarily to name their group of supporters, known as "La 12".<ref>{{cite web|author=Laura Vidal, Venezuela |url=http://globalvoices.org/2010/09/19/argentina-boca-juniors-passion-for-football/ |title=See La 12 and La Bombonera section |publisher=Globalvoices.org |date=19 September 2010 |access-date=5 May 2013}}</ref>

The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of world football's fiercest and [[Major football rivalries|most important]] rivalries.<ref>[http://newssearch.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/football/features/newsid_2297000/2297495.stm BBC Academy, famous football derbies]</ref> It is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, the stands of both teams feature fireworks, coloured confetti, flags and rolls of paper. Both sets of supporters sing passionate songs (often based on popular Argentine rock band tunes) against their rivals, and the stadiums are known to bounce with the simultaneous jumping of the fans. Sometimes the games have been known to end in riots between the hardest supporters of both sides or against the police. The [[England|English]] newspaper ''[[The Observer]]'' put the Superclásico at the top of their list of 50 sporting things you must do before you die.<ref>[http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,6903,1182710,00.html 50 sporting things you must do before you die]</ref>

On 22 August, 2006, it was announced that [[Ricardo Lavolpe]] would take over the post of coach on September 15, replacing [[Alfio Basile]], who had been selected to manage [[Argentina National Football Team]]. Lavolpe failed to continue Basile's chain of success, losing the 2006 Apertura championship in spite of a 4 points advantage with only two rounds to go.

===Notable players===
[[Miguel Angel Russo]] was hired as Lavolpe's replacement. Boca took second place to [[San Lorenzo de Almagro]] in the 2007 ''Clausura'' tournament, but went on to win the Copa Libertadores with a 5-0 overall rout of Brazilian [[Grêmio]].

<!-- NOTE TO EDITORS: despite of some recent media news, the Argentine Association defines Copa de la Liga Profesional as a "national/domestic cup" (see source: https://www.afa.com.ar/es/pages/campeones-de-primera-division) NOT awarding a league title to past winners. Therefore Boca Juniors still have 35 league titles. Moreover, AFA Bulletin #6405 (https://www.afa.com.ar/upload/torneo/Placas%20categor%C3%ADas/2023/Diciembre/Bolet%C3%ADn%20Comit%C3%A9%20Ejecutivo%206405%20(19-12-2023).pdf) officially proclaimed River Plate as "2023 Primera División champion" and Rosario Central "2023 Copa LPF champion", with no mention of changes at all. -->

Club Atlético Boca Juniors (Spanish pronunciation: [kluβ aˈtletiko ˈβoka ˈʝunjoɾs]), more commonly referred to as simply Boca Juniors, is an Argentine professional sports club based in La Boca, a neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The club is best known for its men's professional football team which, since its promotion in 1913, has always played in the Argentine Primera División. The team has won 74 official titles, the most by any Argentine club.[2][3] National titles won by Boca Juniors include 35 Primera División championships,[4][5] and 17 domestic cups.[6] Boca Juniors also owns an honorary title awarded by the Argentine Football Association for their successful tour of Europe in 1925.[7][8]

Internationally, Boca Juniors has won 22 major titles,[9][10][11] with 18 organised by CONMEBOL[12] and the rest organised jointly by the Argentine and Uruguayan Associations. Consequently, Boca is ranked third in the world in terms of number of complete international titles, after Real Madrid (34) and Egyptian side Al Ahly (26).[13] Boca Juniors' international achievements also include one Tie Cup,[14] one Copa de Honor Cousenier,[15] and two Copa Escobar-Gerona,[16] organized jointly by AFA and AUF together. Their success usually has the Boca Juniors ranked among the IFFHS's Club World Ranking Top 25, which they have reached the top position six times (mostly during the coaching tenure of Carlos Bianchi).[17] Boca was named by the IFFHS as the top South American club of the first decade of the 21st century (2001–2010).[18] It was designated by FIFA as the joint twelfth-best Club of the Century, in December 2000, occupying the same place as Liverpool of England, Internazionale of Italy, and Benfica of Portugal, among others.

Boca Juniors has a fierce rivalry with River Plate, and matches between them are known as the Superclásico. It is the most heated rivalry in Argentina and one of the biggest in the world, as the clubs are the two most popular in the country.[19][20] Boca's home stadium is the Estadio Alberto J. Armando, better known colloquially as La Bombonera. The youth academy has produced many Argentine internationals who have played or are playing for top European clubs, such as Oscar Ruggeri, Sebastián Battaglia, Nicolás Burdisso, Carlos Tevez, Éver Banega, Fernando Gago, Leandro Paredes, and Nahuel Molina.

In addition to men's football, Boca Juniors has professional women's football and basketball teams. Other (amateur) activities held in the club are: bocce, boxing, chess, field hockey, futsal, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, handball, martial arts (judo, karate, and taekwondo), swimming, volleyball, weightlifting, and wrestling.[21] As of January 2023, Boca Juniors ranked first among the clubs with the most members in Argentina, with 315,879.[22][23]

History

[edit]
The first recorded photo of Boca Juniors taken in 1906, after winning the Liga Central championship

On 3 April 1905, a group of Italian boys (more specifically from Genoa) met in order to find a club. The house where the meeting was arranged was Esteban Baglietto's and the other four people who attended were Alfredo Scarpatti, Santiago Sana and brothers Juan Farenga and Teodoro Farenga .[24] Other important founding members include Arturo Penney, Marcelino Vergara, Luis Cerezo, Adolfo Taggio, Giovanelli, Donato Abbatángelo, and Bertolini.

In 1913, Boca was promoted to Primera División after some previous failed attempts. This was possible when the Argentine Association decided to increase the number of teams in the league from 6 to 15.[25]

In 1925, Boca made its first trip to Europe to play in Spain, Germany and France. The squad played a total of 19 games, winning 15 of them. For that reason Boca was declared "Campeón de Honor" (Champion of Honour) by the Association.

During successive years, Boca consolidated as one of the most popular teams of Argentina, with a huge number of fans not only in the country but worldwide.[26][27][28]

Kit and badge

[edit]
The first three jersey models used by the team in the 1900s, exhibited at the Boca Juniors Museum
Some jerseys worn in the 1990s–2000s also in exhibition

According to the club's official site, the original jersey colour was a white shirt with thin black vertical stripes, being then replaced by a light blue shirt and then another striped jersey before adopting the definitive blue and gold.[29] Nevertheless, another version states that Boca Juniors' first jersey was pink, although it has been questioned by some journalists and historians who state that Boca, most probably, never wore a pink jersey, by pointing out the lack of any solid evidence and how this version stems from, and is only supported on, flawed testimonies.[30]

Legend has it that in 1906, Boca played Nottingham de Almagro. Both teams wore such similar shirts that the match was played to decide which team would get to keep it. Boca lost, and decided to adopt the colors of the flag of the first boat to sail into the port at La Boca. This proved to be a Swedish ship, therefore the yellow and blue of the Swedish flag were adopted as the new team colours.[31] The first version had a yellow diagonal band, which was later changed to a horizontal stripe.[29]

Through Boca Juniors history, the club has worn some alternate "rare" models, such as the AC Milan shirt in a match versus Universidad de Chile (whose uniform was also blue) in the 1963 Copa Libertadores.[32] When Nike became official kit provider in 1996, the first model by the company introduced two thin white stripes surrounding the gold band, causing some controversy.[33][34] The brand also introduced a silver jersey designed exclusively for the 1998 Copa Mercosur. For the 100th anniversary of the club, Nike launched commemorative editions of several models worn by the club since its foundation, including a version of the 1907 shirt with the diagonal sash, which was worn in two matches during the 2005 Torneo de Verano (Summer Championship).[35] Other models were a black and white striped jersey (similar to Juventus FC)[36] and a purple model,[37] worn in the 2012 and 2013 "Torneos de Verano," respectively.

Nevertheless, no shirt caused more controversy than the pink model released as the away jersey for the 2013–14 season, which was widely rejected by the fans.[38] Because of that, the introduction of this model (to be initially worn v. Rosario Central) was delayed until the last fixture when Boca played Gimnasia y Esgrima (LP).[39][40] As a replacement for the pink model, Nike designed a fluorescent yellow shirt launched that same season.[41][42]

In 2016, the club wore a black jersey for the first time in its history, originally launched as the third kit.[43] Although the President of the club, Daniel Angelici, had stated that the black kit would never be worn,[44] the kit debuted in a match v. Tigre, only four days after the announcement.[45]

Adidas is the club's current kit supplier since January 2020.[46] The agreement (which will remain in force until 2029) was signed for US $10,069,000 plus 40% in royalties per year for the club.[47]

  1. ^ After Olan was taken over by Topper, the brand (then owned by Alpargatas) was the kit suppier just for one month, until the contract with Nike entered into force in September 1996.[52]

Badge

[edit]

The club has had five different designs for its badge during its history, although its outline has remained unchanged through most of its history. The first known emblem dates from 1911, appearing on the club's letterhead papers. In October 1932, the club stated that one star would be added to the badge for each Primera División title won.[55] Nevertheless, the stars would not appear until 1943, on a Report and Balance Sheet.[56][55]

A version with laurel leaves appeared in a magazine in 1955 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the club,[56] although the club never used it officially.[55]

The emblem with the stars was announced in 1932, but it has regularly appeared on Boca Juniors uniforms since 1993.[56]

In 1996, the Ronald Shakespear Studio introduced a new badge (with the horizontal band suppressed) as part of a visual identity for the club. The new Boca Juniors image also featured new typography and style.[57][58]

Notes
  1. ^ Used only in report and balance sheets and member cards. It is not listed as official on club's website.[59]
  2. ^ In 1932, the club stated that the badge should include one star per title won to date. Nevertheless, the stars were not included until 1943.[55]

Stadium

[edit]

The Boca Juniors stadium in Brandsen and Del Crucero, inaugurated in 1924. It was later demolished to build La Bombonera, in the same place

Boca Juniors used several locations before settling on their current ground on Brandsen. Club's first ground was in Dársena Sur[60] of the old Buenos Aires port (currently Puerto Madero) but it was vacated in 1907 as it failed to meet the minimum league requirements. Boca Juniors then used three grounds in the Isla Demarchi area between 1908 and 1912.[61][62] In the first year in the Primera Division (1913) the club hadn't an own stadium and played the home games in the pitches of the other teams, likely in Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in Palermo (on Figueroa Alcorta y Dorrego), but also in Avellaneda (first official derby against the River).[63] Between 1914 and 1915, the club moved away from La Boca for the second time in its history (beyond the 1913), moving to Wilde in the Avellaneda Partido of the Greater Buenos Aires but a relatively poor season[64] and poor attendances in 1915 forced the club to move back to La Boca.

On 25 May 1916, Boca Juniors opened its new stadium at the intersection of Ministro Brin and Senguel streets, playing there until 1924 when the club moved to Brandsen and Del Crucero (Del Valle Iberlucea nowadays) streets, to build a new stadium there, which lasted until 1938 when the club decided to build a totally new venue, made of concrete grandstand instead of wood.[65]

Building of Boca Juniors' current stadium began in 1938, under the supervision of Engineer José L. Delpini. Boca played its home matches in Ferro Carril Oeste's Estadio Ricardo Etcheverry in Caballito until it was completed on 25 May 1940.[62] A third level was added in 1953, originating then its nickname La Bombonera ('The Chocolate Box').[66] The stand opposite the Casa Amarilla railway platforms remained mostly undeveloped until 1996, when it was upgraded with new balconies and quite expensive VIP boxes. Three sides of the Bombonera are thus made up of traditional sloping stadium stands, but the fourth side was built vertically, with several seating areas stacked one on top of the other, the only way that makes it stand into the club premises.

La Bombonera is known for vibrating when Boca fans (La 12) jump in rhythm; in particular, the unique vertical side will sway slightly, leading to the phrase, "La Bombonera no tiembla. Late" (The Bombonera does not tremble. It beats)[67][68]

La Bombonera currently has a capacity of 57,200 after small renovation works in the 2020s. The Boca Juniors usually play their league games in front of capacity crowds. The club's popularity make tickets hard to come by, especially for the Superclásico game against River Plate.[69] There are further improvements planned for the stadium, including measures to ease crowd congestion, use of new technology and improved corporate facilities.[70]

Apart from the venues listed, Boca Juniors also played its home games at Estudiantes de Buenos Aires's stadium (in 1913, then located on Figueroa Alcorta Avenue)[71] and Ferro Carril Oeste stadium (1938–40, while La Bombonera was under construction).[72]

Supporters

[edit]

Boca Juniors is traditionally regarded as the club of Argentina's working class, in contrast with the supposedly more upper-class base of cross-town arch rival Club Atlético River Plate.[75]

Boca Juniors claims to be the club of "half plus one" (la mitad más uno) of Argentina's population, but a 2006 survey placed its following at 40%,[19][20] still the largest share. They have the highest number of fans, as judged by percentage in their country.

As of early 2023 Boca has a 314,000 member base, which ranks second only to Bayern Munich worldwide, and it is first in Argentina and also first in South America.[76]

The Boca-River Superclásico rivalry is one of the most thrilling derbies in the world.[77] Out of their 338 previous meetings, Boca have won 126, River have won 107 and there have been 105 draws.[78] After each match (except draws), street signs cover Buenos Aires at fans' own expense, "ribbing" the losing side with humorous posters. This has become part of Buenos Aires culture ever since a Boca winning streak in the 1990s.

In 1975, a film (La Raulito) was made about the life of Mary Esher Duffau, known as La Raulito, a well-known Boca Juniors fan. She died at the age of 74 on 30 April 2008, the same day Boca Juniors played a Copa Libertadores match against Brazilian club, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube with the players and fans observing a minute's silence in her memory.[79]

Nicknames

[edit]

Boca fans are known as Los Xeneizes (the Genoese) after the Genoese immigrants who founded the team and lived in La Boca in the early 20th century.[80]

Many rival fans in Argentina refer to the Boca Juniors' fans as Los Bosteros (the manure handlers), originating from the horse manure used in the brick factory which occupied the ground where La Bombonera stands. Originally an insult used by rivals, Boca fans are now proud of it.[81]

Reflecting the team's colors, Boca's shirt is also called la azul y oro (the blue and gold).[82]

There is also a society which dedicates all of its activities to supporting the team known as la número 12 or la doce (player number doce or 12, meaning "the 12th player").[83] The origin of the group dates back to 1925, when the Boca Juniors fanatic "Toto" Caffarena accompanied the team during a tournament in Europe in 1925. From then on, he was considered the "twelfth player", hence the name "La doce". The ultra organization is similar to other "barra brava" gangs associated with football clubs in Argentina.[84] Illegal activities by La doce include assault, drug sales and trafficking, extortion, and murder.[85] La doce finances its activities by selling parking, reselling club tickets, and extorting commissions from the sale of players. La doce also extorts Boca Juniors for transportation to domestic and international events as well as their means of financing their activities. If their demands are not met, they threaten violence at home matches or to take down club officials.[86]

The naming of "La 12" (the twelfth player), by which Boca Juniors' fans became known, dates back to the year 1925, during the European tour they made that year. At that time, the team was accompanied by a Boca fan called Victoriano Caffarena, who belonged to a wealthy family and funded part of the tour. During that tour he helped the team in everything, thus establishing a strong relationship with the players, so they named him "Player No. 12". When they returned to Argentina, Caffarena was as well known as the players themselves. Nowadays, this nickname is used primarily to name their group of supporters, known as "La 12".[87]

International

[edit]

Peñas (fan clubs) exist in a number of Argentine cities and abroad in countries such as Russia, Ukraine,[88] Spain,[89] Israel[90] and Japan.[91] Boca Juniors are particularly popular in Japan, because of the club's success in the early 2000s at the Intercontinental Cup held in Japan.[92] Elsewhere internationally, fans are drawn to Boca by the club's international titles and by the success of Boca players who went on to play in European football such as Hugo Ibarra, Rodolfo Arruabarrena, Diego Cagna, Enzo Ferrero, Roberto Abbondanzieri, Nicolás Burdisso, Fernando Gago, Diego Maradona, Claudio Caniggia, Gabriel Batistuta, Juan Román Riquelme and Carlos Tevez.

Boca has fans throughout Latin America and also in parts of the United States where there has been Latin immigration. In July 2007, after the club had toured pre-season, it was reported that the club was considering the possibility of creating a Boca Juniors USA team to compete in Major League Soccer.[93]

Rivalries

[edit]

Boca Juniors has had a long-standing rivalry with River Plate. The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of world football's fiercest and most important rivalries.[94] It is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, the stands of both teams feature fireworks, coloured confetti, flags and rolls of paper. Both sets of supporters sing passionate songs (often based on popular Argentine rock band tunes) against their rivals, and the stadiums are known to bounce with the simultaneous jumping of the fans. Sometimes the games have been known to end in riots between the hardest supporters of both sides or against the police. The English newspaper The Observer put the Superclásico (played at La Bombonera) at the top of their list of 50 sporting things you must do before you die.[95]

The two clubs both have origins in the poor riverside area of Buenos Aires known as La Boca. River however moved to the more affluent district of Núñez in the north of the city in 1923.

Boca Juniors and River Plate have played 259 official games all time against each other, with Boca winning 91, River winning 85 and 83 draws.[96]

This intense rivalry has not stopped players from playing for both clubs, most notably José Manuel Moreno, Hugo Orlando Gatti, Alberto Tarantini, Oscar Ruggeri, Julio Olarticoechea, Carlos Tapia, Gabriel Batistuta and Claudio Caniggia.

Because of a lack of sponsors, the team was disbanded, but later it was reincorporated through the coaching of former Boca player Marcelo Gigante; after playing in the second division, it returned to the A1 league in 2005.

In August 2015 it was announced that Boca Juniors's volleyball team would not participate in the Liga Argentina de Voleibol – Serie A1 from 2016. The decision was personally taken by Boca Juniors chairman, Daniel Angelici. The club alleged that taking part in a professional league resulted in a hugh commercial deficit so Boca Juniors declined to participate, although the volleyball department had reached an agreement with several sponsors which would put the money to cover the costs (about A$ 3 million).[178]

On 1 August 2023, it was announced that Boca Juniors after almost 8 years, will once again play in the Liga Argentina de Voleibol – Serie A1.[179]

In 2003, it became the fifth football club in the world to open its own TV channel. Boca TV broadcast 24 hours a day, featuring sports programs and talk shows. The channel was closed in 2005 due to low audience, returning in 2015 as a website.[182] In 2005, a funerary company started to produce a line of coffins available for dead fans.[183][184] The club also opened a "Boca Juniors" exclusive section of 3,000 hectare in the Parque Iraola Cemetery of La Plata Partido in 2006.[185][186]

Also in 2006, Boca expanded its business launching its own fleet of taxis operating in Buenos Aires,[187][188] as well as its own brand of wine, called "Vino Boca Juniors".[189]
