Why is December 12 celebrated?
In allusion to the name of the Xeneize fans, known worldwide as “Player No. 12”, Boca Fan Day has been installed on 12/12 since 2012. It was institutionalized by its own fans through social networks that 12/12/12, when a crowd approached the Obelisk to celebrate, and now it will be the tenth anniversary of this celebration that is already a blue and yellow tradition.
It will return to the Alberto J. Armando stadium as an exclusive event for the second time since 2017, since in 2021 it coincided with the match against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero at the end of the Professional League. In 2020, however, it could not be carried out due to the spread of Covid-19, while in 2019 and 2018 (post Madrid) it was not carried out for security reasons. In 2022 there was a celebration within the mythical stage.
During the day, in addition, an important announcement will be made official for members: they will no longer have to enter the “Soysocio” website to have their ticket, but starting in 2025 there will be a new methodology to enable the card for matches at La Bombonera .
Ricardo Rosica, General Secretary of Boca, had already anticipated this important development. “A stress test has been done, where many people go at the same time. It works perfect. It will be an exclusive app for members where we will replace the I am Members website. “You will have confirmation of attendance on your phone.”he explained at that time.
And he closed: “You don’t go to the bank anymore, you have the bank on your phone. We are going to change with the application. We are going to have a part of all the functions and as time goes by we are going to add all the other functions”.
