We want to see you, champion

Club Atlético Boca Juniors was founded on April 3, 1905 and plays uninterruptedly in the First Division since 1913. Its current stadium, La Bombonera, was inaugurated on May 25, 1940. To date, it holds 26 official titles at the local level (the first was won in 1919) and 12 international titles, among which its five Libertadores Cups and its three Intercontinental Cups stand out. In July 1998 the first football team was taken over by the technical director Carlos Bianchi and in three and a half years of campaign (in 2002 he was replaced by Oscar Tabárez), he won nine titles. In that period he won three Libertadores Cups and two Toyota-Intercontinental Cups (beating none other than Milan of Italy and Real Madrid of Spain). Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistuta, Walter Samuel and Antonio Rattin (the one who stood on the queen's carpet after being expelled in the England-Argentina match in 1966) are just some of the great players who passed through the institution, which in recent years was strongly nourished by Colombian values: Oscar Córdoba, Bermúdez, "Chicho" Serna, Luis Perea and Fabián Vargas.
