We have no doubts that Boca will become a model institution of the scene with work, commitment, and responsibility ”.

The form of communication, the audience and even the competitions have great differences from traditional sports. However, there are values such as professionalism, commitment and responsibility that remain the same and will be our pillars of work.
What are the bases of the new project?
Our work ideals seek to maintain the commitment and values that the institution has had from its origins and transfer them to the esports scene. It is a project that we have been pushing since we started the administration because we understand that it is a demand from our fans. That a club of the magnitude of Boca decides to venture in the way it is doing in esports is a huge pride and responsibility. We not only have the objective of becoming a highly competitive team, but we will also seek to promote the inclusion and growth of each of the members of the project. After all, our wish is to contribute to the development of e-sports in the region.
What are Boca’s short-term and long-term goals in esports?
Starting a project is never easy and requires a lot of work. During this year we want to settle on the scene with the creation of esports teams and participate in the most prestigious competitions in the region, prioritizing that all players have the tools and support necessary to exercise their profession correctly. In the long term, we seek to be a pioneer institution both in the competitive level and in the training and inclusion of new players.PlayBoca Juniors esports
