Boca Secures CNRT Approval for La Bombonera Expansion

The transport regulator's approval confirms the works can be engineered over the adjacent rail line without service interruptions.

Overview

  • CNRT cleared Boca Juniors’ anteproyecto, confirming technical feasibility to build without halting the nearby Ferrosur Roca freight service.
  • The plan calls for four external access towers connected by pedestrian bridges over the tracks to improve entry and circulation.
  • Boca says the redesign aims to lift capacity to about 80,000, with proposals such as shifting the pitch, adding tiers and boxes, and installing a roof.
  • The club is preparing final documentation before sequential reviews at ADIFSA and AABE, followed by a decision from the Buenos Aires city government.
  • Keeping the stadium in La Boca guides the approach, as leaders reject relocation despite the site’s tight urban constraints.
