Boca Juniors`s Stadium

Boca Juniors first stadium was an old woden field built up in the starting 20s in the same site where La Bombonera stands nowadays. In was in that field where the xeneize team played during the Amateur years and conquered its first titles in the Professional league, until construction works for the new concrete Stadium began on february 18, 1938.From 1938 to 1940, Boca had to play his home matches in Ferro Carril Oeste Stadium while the engineer, Mr. José L. Delpini headed the construction worksThe great moment finally arrived on May 25,1940. "Boca’s Coliseum" –that’s how they used to call it-, was opened with a friendly match against San Lorenzo de Almagro, in which the xeneizes won 2-0, with 2 goals scored by Ricardo Alarcón.At the beginning, the Bombonera had 2 of the 3 current tiers and it wasn’t until 1949 that it was decided to resume the last construction phase which was completed in 1953.During 43 years nothing changed in the construction anatomy of the Stadium until 1996, when –under Mauricio Macri’s presidency- a big remodelling was approved. The old Executive Boxes on Del Valle Iberlucea Street were pulled down and replaced by a small tier over which the current VIPBoxes were built.
