Boca Juniors was born on Monday April 3rd, 1905 when five young boys living in La Boca neighborhood got together at Solís Square with the intention to found a soccer club.
Without even knowing it, this group of Italian immigrants wrote the first pages of the rich history of Argentina´s most popular soccer club.
The name of the club was taken from that of the neighborhood. The word "Juniors" was added to give it an English tone and enhance its prestige. This was done in order to counteract the “difficult neighborhood” fame La Boca had gained at that time.
During its first years, Boca Juniors wore different shirts that were changed constantly until the well-known classic blue and yellow one was adopted. The first shirt was pink, followed by a vertically striped black and white one. In 1907 both yellow and blue were adopted. These colors were taken from the Swedish flag on a boat which was moored in the port during those days.
Boca Juniors shows a great track record in amateur competitions, wining 7 titles: 1919, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1930 Championships and the Honour Cup in 1925.
Throughout almost one hundred years of history many players wore the blue and gold shirt. Many of these players ended up as absolute idols in the institution including: Francisco Varallo, Mario Boyé, Angel Clemente Rojas, Antonio Roma, Alfredo Rojas, Antonio Rattín, Vicente Pernía, Hugo Gatti, Silvio Marzolini, Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistuta, Martín Palermo and Juan Román Riquelme.
