Boca reveal how much they'll spend to start expanding La Bombonera | OneFootball

The Boca leadership headed by Juan Román Riquelme approved the budget, and it was officially revealed how the financing will work to launch the Comprehensive Plan for the expansion of La Bombonera, which will increase its capacity to 80,000 spectators.

In an institutionally significant day of historic importance, the Assembly of Club Atlético Boca Juniors Members’ Representatives approved the Economic-Financial Budget for Income, Expenses, and Investments for Fiscal Year No. 123, covering the period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

The review of the document, validated with 123 votes in favor and 51 against in the renovated Salón Filiberto, confirmed the financial direction of the administration and left one clear certainty: the formal start of the La Bombonera expansion works already has allocated funding.

The first stage of the La Bombonera expansion will have a budget of more than 15 billion pesos.

The most notable figure in the budget planning lies in the consolidated investment item for the stadium, which amounts to an exact subtotal of $15,432,000,000 pesos. This multimillion-peso outlay, backed by a projected institutional surplus of more than $3.402 billion and without needing to account for player sales, will be structured with a strong priority on increasing the capacity of the Alberto J. Armando Stadium.

The expansion of La Bombonera as the central focus

Within the approved spending framework, the backbone is the so-called Comprehensive expansion and improvements plan, stage 1, which will receive an injection of $11,200,000,000 pesos.

According to what was presented by the board, this first execution stage will lay the foundations for the master plan that will raise the stadium’s total capacity to 80,000 spectators, including the new fourth tier and the elevator towers.

Below is the official investment breakdown approved by the Assembly for the stadium’s renovation and maintenance:

Boca’s General Secretary, Ricardo Rosica, emphasized that this deployment of capital is the direct result of orderly financial management. By avoiding dependence on the transfer market to balance the books, the club can reinvest its operating surplus directly into its infrastructure. "For the first time in history, there is an explicit budget item for the expansion of La Bombonera," the executive celebrated.
