Boca consider friendly with Napoli at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona | OneFootball

Boca received an invitation to play a friendly match against Napoli at the Italian team’s stadium, which bears the name of Diego Maradona. In fact, the love that both clubs share for the former footballer was what inspired the proposal.

The other objective of the match would be to mark the beginning of the planned works to expand the stadium ahead of the 2032 European Championship, with Italy as one of the hosts. With a cost of around 150 million euros, the aim is to add a third ring with a capacity for 10,000 spectators.

The main obstacle to holding the match is the calendar, since in addition to Boca and Napoli’s commitments, there is also the World Cup (which will take place from June 11 to July 19). Because of this, there aren’t many available dates for all the logistics involved.

Boca was also offered a trip to Miami

Among the proposals presented to the club, a businessman tried to bring Xeneize to the United States for a friendly against an opponent yet to be determined. However, everything fell through for the same reason: scheduling issues and the complications involved in traveling abroad.

Boca’s management’s idea is that any friendlies that might be played should take place in Argentina. It’s likely that some will be organized at La Bombonera for the preseason starting January 2, and there’s even a chance that another could be held in the provinces.
