Riquelme: Boca one step from expanding La Bombonera | OneFootball

In an interview with the club's official channel, Román stated that the plan is close to being finalized and only awaits one approval to proceed.

He explained that the club received the green light from the railway company Ferrosur for a crucial part of the project and that they are now awaiting final approval from the National Transport Regulation Commission (CNRT). “We just need the last step. If we're lucky enough to get approval for what we've submitted, I think it's the first time I feel we're close to fulfilling the dream of the Boca fans, which is to expand our home”, he stated.

Riquelme was also adamant about the stadium's location and dismissed any possibility of relocation. “La Bombonera cannot be moved from here”, referring to opposition proposals suggesting building a new stadium in another area.

This is how La Bombonera would look with the project dreamed by Juan Román Riquelme. (This render is not official, but very similar to what would be presented in the future)

Additionally, the president emphasized that the project does not involve external capital or changes in the name. “I don't think our name will ever change. La Bombonera is ours”, while reiterating his desire for the expansion to be completed with the club's own resources.

He also criticized the previous management and claimed he inherited a club “abandoned”. Despite the criticism, he insisted that the goal is clear: “We want our club to be bigger and bigger”, concluded the president.
