Boca Juniors unveils $50M-$60M Bombonera expansion to 80,000 seats
The $50 million project will increase Boca Juniors' stadium capacity by nearly 40%, allowing more than half of the club's 126,000 members to attend matches.
- Boca Juniors announced late Tuesday a stadium expansion that will increase capacity from 57,000 to 80,000, costing between 50 and 60 million dollars, in its biggest remodeling in nearly 90 years.
- Less than half of the 126,000 active members can attend matches, reflecting club fans' long-standing demand and following River Plate's expansion plan two months ago.
- The club said the expansion will respect La Bombonera’s identity, per the executive summary presented to the press late Tuesday, and the stadium will not be relocated or replaced.
- Work will begin during the 2026 World Cup, which will have six co-host nations, and will take at least two years, with the venue hosting matches at the tournament.
- Boca's move follows a regional upgrade trend after River Plate announced plans two months ago to roof its Monumental and expand capacity to more than 100,000 for the 2030 World Cup.
