Description from the seller
La Gira de 1925, by Germán Origuela, is a meticulously researched and beautifully produced historical book dedicated to one of the most important moments in the history of Club Atlético Boca Juniors: the legendary European tour of 1925.
This book tells the story of the journey that transformed Boca from a local neighbourhood club into an international symbol of Argentine football.
In 1925, Boca Juniors embarked on a near six-month tour of Europe, playing matches in Spain, Germany and France. It was the first great international embassy of Argentine football, earning Boca admiration abroad and cementing its identity at home. The success of this tour led the Argentine Football Association to officially declare Boca “Campeón de Honor 1925”.
This is not a standard narrative history. It is a graphic historical archive built from original newspaper articles of the time, contemporary match reports from Europe and Argentina, period photographs, press clippings, and detailed chronicles of each match. The book recreates how the tour was experienced in real time, through the eyes of journalists and spectators, making it an essential reference work for Boca historians and serious collectors.
The subtitle, Historia gráfica de la undécima estrella, refers to the honorary star that Boca still proudly wears today, born from this historic tour. Long overlooked by modern media, this book restores its true importance in the club’s story.
