With the expansion: La Bombonera set to gain over 20,000 new seats | OneFootball

One of the most anticipated points for the fan and member of Boca is, without a doubt, the expansion of La Bombonera. Since the beginning of the current management, necessary renovations have been carried out at the Estadio Alberto J. Armando with the aim of moving towards the long-awaited expansion. In this context, Ricardo Rosica provided more details about the news of the works.

In a conversation with AZZ, Ricardo Rosica, the club's general secretary, spoke about the expansion of La Bombonera. The leader emphasized that leaving the stadium is not an option, so they are doing everything possible to expand it without losing its identity. In that sense, he stated that as soon as they decide on a project, they will inform it in the correct way, and the fans “will feel proud.”

“The President and his team are constantly working on this. The people have expressed that we are not leaving La Bombonera, our dream is to expand it without losing its appearance, and when it is ready, it will be announced,” explained Rosica. He also added that in the eagerness to inform, confusions are created among the members. “When the time comes, we will talk about this topic, but we are working on it, have no doubt, you will be proud the day you find out as Boca fans,” he affirmed.

On the other hand, the general secretary referred to the purchase of the blocks adjacent to the stadium to carry out the expansion as presented in some of the projects. According to Rosica, “unfortunately it was used as a battle horse to win the elections or seduce the electorate.”

Finally, he highlighted the current state of La Bombonera and assured that “it is getting more beautiful, protected, and cared for.” He also anticipated that new “elevators will be installed so that people can reach the third tier, and all of this is part of its expansion.” After the final project, the Estadio Alberto J. Armando will have more than 20,000 new places for members and fans.

The filter to enter La Bombonera will remain

Despite rumors that the filter for attending home games would be removed, Rosica confirmed that it will remain throughout the 2025 season. The management's objective is to modify it to give more members the opportunity in the future, but those “who do not want it” spread its removal to confuse the fans.

The new capacity of Boca's stadium could reach 80,000 spectators.

“It is not true that the filter will be removed. Yes, we are constantly thinking about how to update it, how those who do not have the filter can enter to have that chance. Evidently, those who do not want us leaked that and cause confusion. We are working to update the system for the next tournament,” he confirmed.
