Stadiums La Bombonera
Getting to see Boca Juniors play at home will be top of many football fans’ bucket lists, with a “Superclasico” against River Plate the dream fixture. As well as being the home of Boca, the Argentina national team have also
played at the famous arena, most recently in two of their 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.
Situated in La Boca, the district of Buenos Aires which gives Juniors their name, the arena is officially called the Alberto J. Armando Stadium, but is usually referred to as “La Bombonera” – meaning “The Chocolate Box”.
La Bombonera certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted. In 2015, the official website for the Copa Libertadores ran a poll to identify the competition’s most “feared” ground, with La Bombonera coming out on top thanks to its intense atmosphere.
