The huge drop in Boca members compared to last year | OneFootball

It is facing a worrying statistic that has set off alarms both internally and among its fans. In just one year, the club lost more than 40,000 members, an unprecedented drop that represents a 12.8% decrease in its membership base, according to an official report from the AFA corresponding to the end of 2025.

According to the survey, the Xeneize went from 323,853 members in 2024 to 282,644 in 2025, marking a concrete decrease of 40,942 people. Despite still being the second club with the most members in the country, only behind River Plate, this is the sharpest decline in recent years for an institution historically strong in this area.

The most affected category was that of adherent members, which was created at the time to manage demand and expand the membership base. In just twelve months, that registry dropped from 121,079 to 98,820, showing a significant strain on the system. At the same time, there was also a surge in complaints from active members who were left out of La Bombonera for not meeting the current attendance requirements.

Among the factors explaining this exodus is the steady increase in membership fees, combined with the complex economic situation the country is experiencing. However, one of the most impactful points is the difficulty in accessing the stadium for most matches, a situation that directly affects the member experience.

In this scenario, the debate over expanding La Bombonera is once again gaining momentum. The issue of capacity, postponed by various administrations, has a direct impact on the relationship between the club and its members. As long as there is no clear and viable project, the loss of members threatens to deepen in the short and medium term.
