Internationally, Boca Juniors has won 22 major titles,[9][10][11]with 18 organised byCONMEBOL[12]and the rest organised jointly by theArgentineandUruguayanAssociations. Consequently, Boca is ranked third in the world in terms of number of complete international titles, afterReal Madrid(33) and Egyptian sideAl Ahly(26).[13]Boca Juniors' international achievements also include oneTie Cup,[14]oneCopa de Honor Cousenier,[15]and twoCopa Escobar-Gerona,[16]organized jointly by AFA and AUF together. Their success usually has the Boca Juniors ranked among theIFFHS's Club World Ranking Top 25, which they have reached the top position six times (mostly during the coaching tenure ofCarlos Bianchi).[17]Boca was named by the IFFHS as thetop South American club of the first decade of the 21st century(2001–2010).[18]It was designated by FIFA as the joint twelfth-bestClub of the Century,in December 2000, occupying the same place asLiverpoolof England,Internazionaleof Italy, andBenficaof Portugal, among others.

Boca Juniors has a fierce rivalry withRiver Plate,and matches between them are known as theSuperclásico.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 asLa Bombonera.The youth academy has produced many Argentine internationals who have played or are playing for top European clubs, such asOscar Ruggeri,Sebastián Battaglia,Nicolás Burdisso,Carlos Tevez,Éver Banega,Fernando Gago,Leandro Paredes,andNahuel Molina.

In addition to men's football, Boca Juniors has professionalwomen's footballandbasketballteams. Other (amateur) activities held in the club are:bocce,bo xing,chess,field hockey,futsal,artisticandrhythmic gymnastics,handball,martial arts (judo,karate,andtaekwondo),swimming,volleyball,weightlifting,andwrestling.[21]As of January 2023, Boca Juniors ranked first among the clubs with the most members in Argentina, with 315,879.[22][23]

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 fromGenoa) 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 toPrimera Divisiónafter some previous failed attempts. This was possible when theArgentine Associationdecided to increase the number of teams in the league from 6 to 15.[25]

In 1925, Boca madeits first trip to Europeto play inSpain,GermanyandFrance.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

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 aSwedishship, 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 theAC Milanshirt in a match versusUniversidad de Chile(whose uniform was also blue) in the1963 Copa Libertadores.[32]WhenNikebecame 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 the1998 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 2005Torneo de Verano(Summer Championship).[35]Other models were a black and white striped jersey (similar toJuventus 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 the2013–14season, 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 playedGimnasia 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]

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

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'sletterhead papers.In October 1932, the club stated that one star would be added to the badge for eachPrimera Divisióntitle won.[55]Nevertheless, the stars would not appear until 1943, on aReport 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, theRonald ShakespearStudio 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

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

Boca Juniors used several locations before settling on their current ground on Brandsen. Club's first ground was inDársena Sur[60]of the old Buenos Aires port (currentlyPuerto Madero) but it was vacated in 1907 as it failed to meet the minimum league requirements. Boca Juniors then used three grounds in theIsla Demarchiarea 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 toWildein theAvellaneda Partidoof theGreater Buenos Airesbut 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 itsnew 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 anew stadiumthere, 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 inFerro Carril Oeste'sEstadio Ricardo EtcheverryinCaballitountil it was completed on 25 May 1940.[62]A third level was added in 1953, originating then its nicknameLa Bombonera('The Chocolate Box').[66]The stand opposite theCasa Amarillarailway 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 theSuperclásicogame againstRiver 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 atEstudiantes de Buenos Aires's stadium (in 1913, then located on Figueroa Alcorta Avenue)[71]andFerro Carril Oeste stadium(1938–40, whileLa Bombonerawas 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 rivalClub 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 toBayern Munichworldwide, and it is first inArgentinaand also first inSouth America.[76]

The Boca-RiverSuperclásicorivalry is one of the most thrillingderbiesin 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 Clubewith the players and fans observing a minute's silence in her memory.[79]

Nicknames

edit

Boca fans are known asLos Xeneizes(theGenoese) 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 asLos Bosteros(the manure handlers), originating from the horse manure used in the brick factory which occupied the ground whereLa Bombonerastands. Originally an insult used by rivals, Boca fans are now proud of it.[81]

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

There is also a society which dedicates all of its activities to supporting the team known asla número 12orla doce(player numberdoceor 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". Theultraorganization 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 inJapan,because of the club's success in the early 2000s at theIntercontinental Cupheld 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 inEuropean footballsuch asHugo Ibarra,Rodolfo Arruabarrena,Diego Cagna,Enzo Ferrero,Roberto Abbondanzieri,Nicolás Burdisso,Fernando Gago,Diego Maradona,Claudio Caniggia,Gabriel Batistuta,Juan Román RiquelmeandCarlos 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 aBoca Juniors USAteam to compete inMajor League Soccer.[93]

Rivalries

edit
Main article:Superclásico

Boca Juniors has had a long-standing rivalry withRiver Plate.The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of world football's fiercest andmost importantrivalries.[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 newspaperThe Observerput 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 ofNúñezin 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 notablyJosé Manuel Moreno,Hugo Orlando Gatti,Alberto Tarantini,Oscar Ruggeri,Julio Olarticoechea,Carlos Tapia,Gabriel BatistutaandClaudio Caniggia.

Coaches

edit
Main article:List of Boca Juniors head coaches

The first Boca Juniors coach recorded isMario Fortunato,who had been player before becoming coach of the team.
