Boca Juniors Stadium a place you must visit in Buenos Aires

Boca Juniors Stadium a place you must visit in Buenos Aires

This mythical stadium rises on Brandsen street when it intersects Del Valle Iberlucea street. It is one of the most popular soccer clubs in the country.
It has a horseshoe-shaped structure, three superposed trays and a very high inclination angle.

Its capacity is for 60 thousand spectators. Founded in 1940, it was then popularly called “La Bombonera” (the candy jar).

At the entrance hall, people can see and enjoy soccer-related murals painted by Benito Quinquela Martín with the soccer club blue and yellow colors. At the outside, there is another mural painted by Pérez Celis that shows different themes of daily life and personalities of this soccer club and neighborhood. The stadium platforms are a few meters away from the soccer court, thus allowing a complete proximity between the spectators and the match.

A few meters far from the stadium, on Brandsen street, the "Boca Juniors" Passion Museum is in place. It houses soccer-related objects and an interactive audiovisual that tour you through the history of the club.

Take Care of PickPockets.
