History

Summarize
Perspective

The women's football section of Boca Juniors was created in 1990.[1] One year later, with the establishment of a league, Boca Juniors began to participate in official competitions.[9][1] In the first edition, Boca finished 2nd to champion River Plate. The first Primera División title was won in 1992.[1]

The team did not win another title until 1998, but this started a successful era that reached its peak from 2003 to 2008 where Boca Juniors won a record-10 consecutive championships,[2] becoming a leading force of the competition. In 2010, Boca Juniors played their first Copa Libertadores Femenina ever, where the team finished 3rd. (of 10), having reached the semifinal where the squad was beat by Brazilian Santos. Andrea Ojeda was the topscorer of the team with 5 goals.[1]
