Club Atlético Boca Juniors (Spanish pronunciation: [kluβ aˈtletiko ˈβoka ˈʝunjoɾs]), more commonly referred to as simply Boca Juniors or Boca, 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 with 74 official titles, the most by any Argentine club.
History
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 .
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.
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.
Known for their passionate fan base and electric atmosphere at their home stadium, La Bombonera, Boca Juniors has a rich history of success both domestically and internationally. The team has won numerous league titles, Copa Libertadores championships, and Intercontinental Cups, solidifying their status as one of the top clubs in South America.
Boca Juniors is also known for producing top talent, with many of their players going on to have successful careers in Europe and on the international stage. The team's iconic blue and yellow striped jerseys are instantly recognizable around the world, and their fierce rivalry with fellow Buenos Aires club River Plate is one of the most intense in all of soccer.
Overall, Boca Juniors is a club with a storied history, passionate fan base, and a tradition of success that has made them a powerhouse in Argentine and South American soccer.
