About Boca Juniors

Club Atlético Boca Juniors is one of Argentina's most storied and celebrated football clubs, founded on April 3, 1905, by a group of young Italian immigrants in the working-class La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The club's iconic blue and yellow colors were chosen in 1907 when the founders agreed to adopt the flag of the next ship to enter the port, which happened to be Swedish. Since their promotion to the Argentine Primera División in 1913, Boca Juniors have never been relegated, winning 35 league championships and a total of 74 official titles, the most of any Argentine club. The team has also claimed six Copa Libertadores titles and has been home to legendary players including Diego Maradona, Juan Román Riquelme, and Carlos Tévez. Their home ground, La Bombonera, opened in 1940 and is one of the most iconic stadiums in the world.
