Boca Sanctioned With Stadium-Wide Ban on Flags for Next Home Match After Superclásico 'Excesses'

Authorities say safety risks from the fan reception prompted the measures.

Overview

  • The City Football Security Committee barred banners, textiles, tirantes, telones, flags-on-sticks, umbrellas and similar celebratory items across La Bombonera, with musical and percussion instruments explicitly exempt.
  • The restriction will apply to Boca’s upcoming home game against Tigre and does not reduce overall stadium capacity.
  • Officials issued a two-year stadium-entry ban to Uriel Hamra, who entered the pitch after the match and filmed himself taunting River players.
  • Ten identified fans who climbed the fence dressed as “fantasmas de la B” received one-year derecho de admisión bans.
  • Police reported 80 informal parking attendants detained, 340 contravention records and 13 arrests, and a small stand fire linked to paper accumulation was reported as a factor in the sanction.
