Overview
- The national transport regulator approved Boca Juniors’ preliminary plan to build over the rail tracks beside La Bombonera, following Ferro Sur SA’s prior consent.
- The approved anteproyecto contemplates four access towers over the tracks with elevators, stairs and a connecting bridge to feed upper tiers, including a new fourth stand.
- The first stage calls for erecting the towers with 18 elevators and assembling the fourth tier off site for later installation, preparing for a roughly four‑meter shift of the pitch toward the tracks.
- Major works are not authorized yet, with further reviews expected by ADIFSA and the state assets agency before a final decision by Buenos Aires City authorities.
- The expansion targets capacity of about 80,000 and envisions rebuilding suites and plateas to complete the stadium’s ring without purchasing neighboring heritage‑listed properties.
