Ferrosur respond to Boca’s plan to expand La Bombonera | OneFootball

Boca officially announced the response it received from Ferrosur regarding the project submitted to expand the capacity of La Bombonera. The club requested permission from the company to build 4 towers that will pass over the train tracks and received the green light.

With Juan Román Riquelme present on the club's official channel, the program's host, Emiliano Pazos, read the response from the railway company: “Dated March 12, 2026. We inform you that we received a note from Club Atlético Boca Juniors at our offices on March 3, where they submitted the technical documentation as a preliminary project for construction on the railway land of the Casa Amarilla station, leased to Ferrosur Roca.”

Ferrosur approves the construction of four towers that will have pathways over the train tracks.

It continues that the construction consists of “four towers equipped with elevators and stairs to be used as public access to the Alberto J. Armando stadium, adjacent to the main track of the mentioned station. These four towers will be connected to the stadium stands via pedestrian bridges that will pass over the main and auxiliary tracks, allowing the public to access the stands through them.”

Ferrosur's response concludes: “After analyzing the documentation, we understand that the realization of the submitted preliminary project poses no complication or obstacle to railway operations. The station area intended for occupation has no railway utility because, due to successive deactivations, the site was included in the Casa Amarilla station lease, only allowing its use as a crossing diversion, an operation that will not be affected.”

With Ferrosur's approval, what is needed to expand La Bombonera?

Boca's management has the railway company's approval and now must wait for the National Commission for Transport Regulation (CNRT), which depends on the National Transport Secretariat, to give the go-ahead to build the four towers.

View from "inside" of how the project would look.

Thus, it is in the hands of the National Government to carry out this project to expand the stadium's capacity to over 80,000 spectators. If these towers cannot be built, it would be practically impossible to proceed with the construction of a fourth tier, as access to them would not be possible.
