Overview

Hi, my name is Fran! I live in Buenos Aires and I have been a fan of Boca Juniors for as long as I can remember. I go to the stadium every game and along with my friends, it would be a pleasure to guide you in this amazing Matchday Experience, where you can enjoy our local football Boca’s most loyal fans. There is no better place than the mythical La Bombonera!

For our local games, the hours prior to entering the field are very important, we call it “la previa” and that is where we prepare to experience each one as if it were the last. We invite you to be a fan club and live the preview as such!

We will see each other at a meeting point close to the stadium to start the pre-game experience and then 1 hour before the game we will start getting into the stadium.

We will access “la popular”, the best section in the stadium, where you will stay close to the real fans! Take time to snap photos, learn the chants, stand, and never stop singing!

This is the ultimate way to become a Boca Juniors fan for a day and get the best Argentine experience in La Bombonera. Once the match is over, we will escort you to a nice location, recommend the best bars and nightclubs in the city, and say goodbye to the group!

IMPORTANT: This standing experience with no seats and close physical contact is very intense as it’s the most vocal stand in the stadium. This may not be recommended for everyone or families.

FAQs

Is Homefans responsible for the activity?

Even though we are a friendly bunch, we are not directly responsible for the activity.

We are a marketplace, which means we facilitate that travellers like yourself, take part in a sports experience offered by a fully-vetted local host who has enrolled on the platform.

The responsibility to carry out the activity relies exclusively on the local host. However, we as a marketplace and acting in the interests of everyone, supervise everything and facilitate  comms and support  when needed for a flawless experience.

Is the match date confirmed?

Whilst the fixture calendar has been released, final confirmed dates are usually announced 2weeks before the kick-off date, due to TV schedule and the AFA (Argentina Football Association) disposition. It is possible then, that Sunday matches will move to Saturday, Monday and vice-versa.  The local hosts will keep you posted in case there is a change.

When will I receive confirmation of the tour?

When you choose and pay for your an activity on the Homefans marketplace, you will receive a booking confirmation directly after the booking via email. In this confirmation, you will get all the details of your booking.

How will the host get in touch?

Once the booking is done, you will receive an order confirmation and the Homefans tech platform will notify the host about it. You can always chat with the host on the marketplace by clicking on the ‘ASK A QUESTION‘ button – you will send and receive messages you can check on your own dashboard with email notifications.

A few days prior to the game, the host will get in touch with you via Whatsapp to arrange the appropriate logistics.

The activities on the Homefans marketplace are designed and executed by fully-vetted locals that have been approved by Homefans.

They last between 2 hours up to a whole day. Please check the inclusions in each activity on the “What’s Included‘ section.

Can I bring bags to the stadium?

We recommend not to bring bags and valuables to the stadia in Argentina. Just the bare minimum to be more comfortable during your experience.

Also, please restrain from wearing the away team’s colours as it will make it almost impossible to access the ground.

According to our Terms & Conditions, after the 24 hour window, the host cancellation policy applies, and it depends on each host.  Given that it involves tickets, it’s usually non-refundable.

Great Game, Experience Could Have Been Better For Tourist

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.

It was everything we had hoped for!

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!

Great experience and host

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.

Boca v. Palmeiras: Libertadores Semifinal

Our dedicated guide, Fran, made us feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of at “la previa” for the Palmeiras Libertadores semifinal at La Bombonera (providing clear instructions in advance on when/where to meet before hitting the stands as the group soaked in the carnival type atmosphere at the pre-match hangout). If you’re looking for an authentic experience to get a taste of how the real Boca “hinchas” live a home game: look no further. I’ll be talking about this night for the rest of my life thanks to Fran for letting me tag a long for this huge match.

Intense Experience

We've been picked by Fran at a Bar and then went to a Pre-Party first. In the stadium we were right behind the goal, close to all the action. I fully recommend this experience to everyone. You should be fit though, you will be jumping, cheering and sometimes moving with the crowd.

Super amazing tour by Fran! If you want experience what a real Boca match is in its raw atmosphere this is the tour to book! The host Fran was awesome! He was super attentive and really provided the real pure experience of watching a football match in Argentina. He kept us safe in an insane but super fun atmosphere. I would definitely book with Fran again! 100 stars out of 100!

100% Recommend - unique and incredible experience

Thank you homfans for making my dream come true and making everything so easy and enjoyable. The entire process, from checking out to meeting the host and going to the stadium is easy and secure. My host Gonzalo was amazing, we met at a parrilla outside of the stadium where he introduced me to other boca fans and friends of his and made me feel welcomed and comfortable, from there on everything just kept getting better and better. The walk to the stadium is a tour itself, you get to see all kinds of murals and historic spots and all the excitement and color from the fans walking with you. Once we made it to the stadium we went to our very nice and secure spot where I was able to chant with the crowd and enjoy the game with all the passion of the Boca crowd. Gonzalo is very well known and respected and will make the experience very special, I was even able to meet a couple of local celebrities who watched the game with us and were the most welcoming people and had a blast with them cheering for Boca, very down to earth. I never felt unsafe or lost, it was great from beginning to end and I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to have the time of their life! Thanks again homefans and Gonzalo for the amazing time and for making it easy for me to make my dream come true!!

Once in a lifetime!

This has been a forever dream of mine being able to whiteness the most iconic stadium and sets of fans in the world! And it did not disappoint! I was a solo traveller and Fran, made the whole experience safe and was organised whilst offering a real depth into Boca culture! Definitely would recommend 10/10 💙💛

Amazing!!

Definitely worth it. We met with a large group & from there we went our different ways. The ticket seating was across the La 12 but still pretty great experience. It took my father, he was a big Boca fan as a kid. I bought the tickets last minute and was lucky to go.

Immersed in a crazy football madness!

Boca Juniors, in La Bombonera, in La Doce. It doesn't get a lot crazier than being surrounded by these fans. Being packed like sardines, being so close to the barra bravas, them looking at you to make sure you are actively supporting the team. It's an experience I will remember till the end of my days. Nevertheless, I do want to highlight that this experience is not meant for tourists who just want to visit one football match in Argentina in my view. The intensity in La Doce is just something you can't put into words and in my opinion, it's better for that target audience to book the regular Boca Juniors matchday experience of Homefans.

💙 Brilliant💛

The La Doce Matchday experience is the only way to go if you want to experience La Bombonera in all its glory. La doce didn't stop singing for the entire match. Candy and my guide Juan made the experience easy and fun and had great knowledge of all things Boca. Thanks guys for a once in a lifetime experience!

La mejor noche de nuestras vidas

Soy del interior de Argentina y junto a mi familia (mi mujer y mi hija) fuimos por primera vez a la Bombonera la inolvidable noche del 11/12/2021. Qué decirles! Nuestra anfitriona Candelaria nos llevó a recorrer las calles del pintoresco Barrio de La Boca y nos hizo vivir una experiencia única e irrepetible... Nos pasó a buscar por el hotel y cuando estuvimos en las cercanías del estadio fuimos caminando junto a miles de Fanáticos a nuestro lado cantando y alentando sin parar con un único destino: El Estadio más hermoso del planeta... Cada paso que dábamos nos acercaba al imponente templo y cuando ingresamos junto a nuestra anfitriona, la emoción fue total... Más de 50.000 personas gritando y cantando por el equipo, las tribunas eran una fiesta, banderas por todos lados, la pasión en estado puro, lágrimas en los ojos de mi familia... Y nuestra ubicación, gracias a nuestra anfitriona Candelaria fue sin dudas la mejor de todo estadio... al lado de la hinchada que más alienta en este planeta: LA Nº 12... Junto a "LA 12" pasamos una noche mágica, emotiva, cantando y saltando sin poder parar, sintiendo como la bombonera latía al ritmo de nuestros corazones... sintiéndonos parte de lo que pasaba en el campo de juego... Gritamos con el alma cada uno de los 8 goles que hizo el equipo, festejamos el campeonato y cuando el reloj marcó las doce celebramos el día del hincha de Boca (12/12/2021) con un espectacular show de fuegos artificiales que fue el broche final a la que fue "La mejor noche de nuestras vidas"... Contarlo es una cosa pero vivirlo... Hay que vivirlo!!! No dejen pasar la posibilidad de vivir esta experiencia aunque sea una vez en la vida: "La Bombonera junto a LA 12" Créanme que no vale la pena pasar por este mundo sin vivir esta experiencia... es imposible de superar... Recomendamos 100% a nuestra anfitriona Candelaria que se preocupó y se ocupó de mi familia durante TODO el tiempo, durante la previa, el ingreso y egreso del estadio y hasta cuando llegamos al hotel dónde nos hospedábamos... Sólo tenemos palabras de agradecimiento para con Cande por estar en cada detalle y hacer realidad nuestro sueño, por hacer realidad "La mejor noche de nuestras vidas..."
