Club Atlético Boca Juniors is one of South American football's most iconic and passionately supported clubs, playing in blue-and-gold at La Bombonera, one of the sport's most electric stadiums. Rooted in the working-class La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Boca have built a global following that rivals clubs many times their size, driven by an intense, unapologetic football culture. Their rivalry with River Plate, the Superclásico, is regarded as one of the fiercest derbies on the planet. Boca's identity is inseparable from Argentine football's soul.
Founded in 1905 by a group of Italian immigrants, Boca Juniors grew into one of Argentina's two dominant clubs, winning 35 Primera División titles, tied for the most in the country's history. On the continental stage, Boca have lifted a record-tying six Copa Libertadores titles, most memorably in 1977, 1978, and a run of three in the 2000s (2000, 2001, 2003, 2007). The club is forever linked with Diego Maradona, who played some of his most iconic football in Boca's colors. Boca remains a South American giant with a devoted global fanbase.
