In 1925 Boca Juniors undertook a 3 month tour of Europe, focusing on Spain but also taking in games in Germany and France.
They forfeited the majority of the 1925 domestic season in order to do so, competing in just 7 games on their return, in which they were unbeaten.
This is the squad of players that participated in the tour:
Américo Tesoriere * | Ludovico Bidoglio* |
Ramón Muttis* | Segundo Médici* |
Alfredo Elli* | Mario Busso |
Domingo Tarasconi * | Antonio Cerrotti* |
Dante Pertini* | Carmelo Pozzo |
Carlos Antraygues | Alfredo Garasini* |
Guest players: | |
Manuel Seoane (El Porvenir)* | Cesáreo Onzari (Huracán)* |
Luis Vaccaro (Argentinos Juniors)* | Octavio Díaz (Rosario Central)* |
Roberto Cochrane (Tiro Federal de Rosario)* * Argentina internationals. | |
The hosting teams in Spain routinely deployed guest players or took the form of 'combined teams'. This has led to discrepancies in how the teams were named in reports.
