Beyond domestic leagues and national cups, Boca Juniors, known as Xeneize, stands with 74 official titles, the most for any Argentinian club. Those trophies reflect a long tradition of success that stretches across generations and competitions, underscoring Boca’s role in shaping Argentine football history.

Over 117 years of existence, Boca has earned the status of the leading winner in Argentine football. From its founding on April 3, 1905, through the 2023 Argentine Super Cup, the club amassed 74 official titles, four more than River Plate, which holds 69. This competitive edge highlights a persistent excellence across eras, managers, and generations, making Boca a benchmark of achievement in the national game.

In addition, Boca counts an honorary recognition among its crownings. Awarded in 1925 by the Argentine Football Association after a European tour that yielded strong performances, the honor is symbolic rather than the product of a formal tournament victory. It stands as a milestone in the club’s storied journey, commemorating a period of overseas exposure and sporting ambition.
