history

History 1937 to 1957

Boca Juniors de Cali was founded in 1937 and first took part in the first Colombian football league in 1949 . The club colors and the jersey were the same colors of the Argentinian club Boca Juniors .

Boca Juniors de Cali was one of the most important teams during the so-called golden age of Colombian football from 1949 to 1953. The club reached second place in the Colombian league twice and was able to win the first two events of the cup competition.

The club was dissolved in 1957 because the economic situation was difficult, as was the case with many Colombian clubs in this decade after the end of the golden age.
