Boca has always opened its doors to players from all over South America and especially those from Colombia, who have left an unforgettable mark on the history of the institution, and their examples have opened the doors to those who came later. The club is proud that many of its idols or historical references are of the most diverse South American nationalities.
Once again the club expresses its concern and repudiation of statements and behaviors that have nothing to do with the construction of a more open and plural football but that delay and only incite hatred and discrimination“.
