Boca Juniors Femenino is the women's football team of Argentine sports club Boca Juniors. Established in 1990,[1] it has been the leading force in the Campeonato de Fútbol Femenino since the late 1990s, having won 27 editions of the competition, including a ten-years streak winning both the Apertura and Clausura championships.[2] Former men's squad player Juan Román Riquelme is in charge of the section since the beginning of 2020.[3]

Boca Juniors has made eight appearances in the Copa Libertadores Femenina from 2010 to 2023, reaching 3rd place in 2010[4] and in 2022 Boca became the first Argentine team to reach the final of the competition,[5][6] finishing in second place.[7]

During 2015 Boca Juniors played the inaugural Supercopa Argentina de Fútbol Femenino and on the final defeated San Lorenzo 2–1 to become the 1st Supercopa Argentina champions.[8]

History

[edit]

The women's football section of Boca Juniors was created in 1990.[1] One year later, with the establishment of a league, Boca Juniors began to participate in official competitions.[1] In the first edition, Boca finished 2nd to champion River Plate. The first Primera División title was won in 1992.[1]

The team did not win another title until 1998, but this started a successful era that reached its peak from 2003 to 2008 where Boca Juniors won a record-10 consecutive championships,[2] becoming a leading force of the competition. In 2010, Boca Juniors played their first Copa Libertadores Femenina ever, where the team finished 3rd. (of 10), having reached the semifinal where the squad was beat by Brazilian Santos. Andrea Ojeda was the topscorer of the team with 5 goals.[1]

Boca Juniors starting line-up that won the first professional era title (24 title overall), in a final against River Plate.

When women's football became professional in Argentina in 2019,[9] 21 Boca Juniors players signed their first contracts in August.[1] Another landmark in Boca Juniors women's was on 19 March 2019, when the team played a match at La Bombonera for the first time, following a club's initiative to commemorate the International Women's Day. The match was held in the round 5th of the 2019 championship, with Boca easily defeating Lanús 5–0.[10] The historic first goal was scored by Yamila Rodríguez.[11]

On 19 January 2021, Boca won their 24th. Primera División title (and the first in professional era) after easily beating arch-rival River Plate 7–0. Coached by Christian Meloni, the starting line-up was: Laurina Oliveros; Julieta Cruz, Florencia Quiñones, Noelia Espíndola, Eliana Stábile; Lorena Benítez, Clarisa Huber, Fabiana Vallejos; Carolina Troncoso, Andrea Ojeda, Yamila Rodríguez. The goals were scored by Huber, Rodríguez, Benítez, Vallejos (2), Ojeda (2).[12]

In 2022, Boca reached the final of the Copa Libertadores Femenina, but were defetead 4–1 by Palmeiras.[13]

Rivalries

[edit]

Boca, like their men's team, also has a rivalry with River Plate and their matches are known as the Superclásico femenino del fútbol Argentino.[14] Since 1991 the Superclásico has been played a total of 67 times, with Boca winning 39, River 14 and 14 draws.[15]
