Group F Seeding and Rivals for Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors, often called Xeneize, already understands the three opponents in Group F of the continent’s premier club competition. This group is a fresh start after years of near-misses, as the club chases a new chapter of success that began after their last championship run in 2007 when the iconic Juan Román Riquelme shined as a central figure. The memory of close calls, including two finals in the intervening years and a particularly painful defeat to River Plate in 2018, still lingers. Yet, the feeling now is different. There is a renewed sense of possibility as Boca readies itself to face familiar foes in a familiar setting, with the focus sharpened on the path ahead and the rivals clearly in view.
During the official draw in Luque on March 27, Boca was among the seeded teams and was placed in Group F alongside Colo Colo from Chile, Monagas from Venezuela, and Deportivo Pereira from Colombia. This grouping promises a demanding battle, with each team bringing a unique style and regional pride to the field.
Pereira and Colo Colo opened their campaign with a 1-1 stalemate, signaling that the group might produce tight, competitive matches from the outset.

The composition of Group F—Colo Colo, Monagas, Deportivo Pereira, and Boca Juniors—highlights a blend of South American rivals and North American-aways that test the depth and adaptability of each squad. The competitiveness of these matchups is anticipated to intensify as the calendar progresses, testing tactical plans and bench strength in equal measure.
