The Boca Juniors team suffered a defeat on penalties against Alianza Lima at La Bombonera, which meant their elimination from the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana in 2025. Despite this disappointment, the Argentine team still has the challenge of competing in the FIFA Club World Cup, where they will face high-level rivals in search of international glory.
In the 2025 Club World Cup, known as the Xeneize, Boca Juniors will compete in the group stage of the tournament that will take place in the United States and will be placed in Group C. Their confirmed schedule is as follows: - Boca Juniors vs. Benfica → Monday, June 16, 19:00 (Hard Rock Stadium, Miami). - Bayern Munich vs. Boca Juniors → Friday, June 20, 22:00 (Hard Rock Stadium, Miami). - Auckland City vs. Boca Juniors → Tuesday, June 24, 16:00 (GEODIS Park, Nashville).
In addition to the Club World Cup, Boca will participate in various local championships during 2025, such as the Apertura Tournament, Clausura Tournament, and the Copa Argentina. If they secure first place in the Apertura, Clausura, or become runners-up in case champions repeat, the team will also play in the Trofeo de Campeones 2025.
To ensure their return to the Copa Libertadores in 2026, Boca must meet certain requirements: - Win the Apertura or Clausura Tournament 2025. - Win the Copa Argentina 2025. - Finish in the top positions of the annual table.
With the absence of continental tournaments in the year, Boca's main objective will be to compete in the Club World Cup and fight for local titles as part of their strategy to guarantee their presence in the Copa Libertadores in 2026.
