In tears: Frank Fabra bids farewell to Boca | OneFootball

After being eliminated by Racing in the semifinals of the Clausura Tournament, the year for Boca has ended, and within the club, the team renewal begins, with those players who will not continue in the institution in 2026. One of them is Frank Fabra. After 10 years, his contract expired and he did not renew.

This Tuesday, after having a day off on Monday, the Xeneize reunited in Ezeiza. The Colombian full-back experienced a lot of emotion on what was his last day as a Blue and Gold player. He said goodbye to each of his teammates with whom he shared various moments, both happy and sad, but he leaves with several titles under his belt.

Frank Fabra is leaving Boca.

After greeting the entire team and the coaching staff, he toured all the facilities of Boca Predio to say goodbye to the cooks, physiotherapists, equipment managers, and all the staff working at the club, and he left in his truck with tears in his eyes. He even shared an image on his social media leaving the premises accompanied by a broken heart and a crying emoji.

Although recently, Frank Fabra was one of the most criticized by all the fans for various particular situations, he was once one of the most beloved. The final against Fluminense in the 2023 Copa Libertadores where he was sent off for slapping with the entire second half of extra time remaining was the straw that broke the camel's back.

He arrived at the beginning of 2016 from Independiente Medellín, earned the starting position, and became a fundamental pillar in the setup and the starting eleven of Boca. The first major setback the Colombian received during his time at Boca was in June 2018 when he suffered a torn ligament in his left knee. An injury that left him out of the World Cup in Russia and the decisive stages of the Copa Libertadores.

He returned in March 2019, and when it seemed he was starting to regain his level, the first break with the fans occurred. In the Copa Libertadores semifinal against Santos in Brazil, where they were defeated 3-0, the left-back was sent off for a strong stomp on Marinho's chest. From there, the relationship was never the same.

Although he returned to play, after the memorable final against Fluminense, Frank Fabra was no longer considered by the coaches. He was always behind in the consideration of each one and only added a handful of minutes. This year he only accumulated 203 minutes in four matches: two in the Copa Argentina (Argentinos de Monte Maíz and Atlético Tucumán) and two in the Apertura Tournament (Argentinos Juniors and Racing).

The Colombian is leaving the club.
