Boca Juniors Popular Matchday Experience (Standing Section)

I am a 24 year old American who always wanted to see Boca play at La Bombonera, and since I was with my friend in Buenos Aires I thought this would be the perfect experience. Unfortunately, our guide Fran got caught up in work and told us he would not be leading us to the game a day before the game. Instead he said his friend would lead us to the game. His friend did not speak much English, which is ok but I know Fran does. We also lost out on chatting with a local fan about the team, history, fans, culture etc. that you'd expect from booking this. When we arrived to la previa (basically a pregame outside the stadium) we met the other 10 tourists from around the world who would be joining us. This was awesome and we made some friends before the game, even meeting a couple American guys. La previa was a lot of fun before the game. When it was time to go into the stadium, our guide handed us the tickets and told us to go in. Four of us made it through security and we never saw our guide or the rest of the group again. I assume their tickets had different entrances to go to. We tried to message the group to see if we could meet again but nobody or the guides replied. This was unfortunate because we were a group of tourists alone in the Ultras section, unless this was what was supposed to happen. Yes, we got into the stadium and had a great time. The game was incredible and everything I dreamed of. The energy in there was unreal as it was the last league game before the Copa Libertadores final. The seats were also amazing. You are right behind the goal ground level in a standing GA section. The fans were friendly and singing the entire time. All in all, the experience was good but I think I was expecting more by paying for this Homefans experience. I thought the point is a local fan is supposed to guide you before, during, and after the game and we didn't really get that. Maybe if Fran was able to go it would have been different. It is also pretty pricey but Boca has a lot of demand. We still got tickets to the game, which I couldn't have found elsewhere, and got to meet some other tourists with the same interests. I just wanted to write this if you are interested in going and can relate to my perspective.

I have been to many spirited sporting events however the Boca Juniors top them all. The enthusiasm of the crowd is infectious and the match was brilliant. The hosts were organized and efficient. Meetup went smoothly and they answered all our questions before the game. Be prepared to be in close contact with other fans as you cheer on the Boca side. Don’t fear the neighborhood, just take regular precautions. Don’t drink too many liquids before getting

An unforgettable experience that we will never forget. Fran and his friends looked after us and communicated with us well prior and after the game. A great win for Boca!

Fran has been amazing, and the overall night has been one of the best football experiences I have ever had. It really felt like going to the match with friends and family. Do yourself a favour and book this! DALE BOCA!!

Esperienza incredibile da vivere! Francisco è un SuperHost ci ha aiutato non solo per la partita ma ci ha dato consigli per l’intero soggiorno a Buenos Aires. Vivamente consigliato

Best football experience ever. Fransesco, best host experience ever!!

Amazing experience. Starting with la previa which was already a blast !! The game and experience in la Bombonera was something unforgettable!! Thanks to Fran who really let us enjoy this event as locals!! I would suggest to take this experience with him if you really want to understand what means to be a Boca fan!! Dale Boca!!

Fantastic experience. The pre-match experience was the beste ever. The whole area La Boca is om the streets eating and drinking and Fran Made is part of it. The stadium is the best i have ever been. Fran is a really Nice guy who is en true fan of Boca. Hé knows the way and Made the experience perfect! A big recommandation to go with him to Boca!!

This was a bucket list thing and it did not disappoint. We got the full experience: walking to the stadium, drinking and eating in the neighborhood, singing, jumping and feeling like a local and Boca fan. Only the score disappointed but everything else was amazing. I would highly recommend Fran if you want to enjoy el superclassico the way you should: on La Popular!

A great experience with Fran and Boca fans. Amazing atmosphere before, during and after the game. Fran is knowledgable about Arg league and Boca, a fan himself. I recommend it and would do it again when in Burnos Aires.
