Superclásico
Encyclopedia
Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina
between Buenos Aires
rivals Boca Juniors
and River Plate
. It derives from the Spanish
usage of "clásico" to mean derby
, with the prefix "super" used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football
. According to some statistics, they commandeer more than 70% of all Argentine football fans between them, with Boca claiming 41% and River 32%.
The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of the fiercest and most important
derbies. In April 2004, the English
newspaper The Observer
put the Superclásico at the top of their list of "50 sporting things you must do before you die", saying that "Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm
game look like a primary school kick-about."
, the working class dockland area of Buenos Aires, with River being founded in 1901 and Boca in 1905. However, River moved to the affluent district of Núñez
in the north of the city in 1925. Since then Boca Juniors has been known as the club of Argentina's working class or the people's club, with many Boca fans coming from the local Italian immigrant community. Boca fans are actually known as Xeneizes (Genoese). By contrast, River Plate became known by the nickname, Los Millonarios (The Millionaires), with a supposedly upper-class support base. Both clubs do though have supporters from all social classes.
The first ever recorded Superclásico was a friendly played on 2 August 1908, when Boca prevailed 2–1. The first official match was played on 24 August 1913, with River winning 2–1.
The Superclásico is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, with what the BBC
describe as "a sea of colourful flowing banners, screams and roars, chanting, dancing and never-ending fireworks." Both sets of supporters sing passionate chants aimed at their rivals, often based on popular Argentine rock band tunes. Each stadium, Boca's La Bombonera
and River's El Monumental are known to bounce with the simultaneous jumping of the fans. At times the matches have been known to end in fights between the violent factions
on both sides or with the police.
Boca fans refer to River supporters as gallinas (chickens) claiming the lack of guts of River fans and players. Despite the fact that their club traces back its roots to La Boca, River fans refer to their Boca rivals as los chanchitos (little pigs) because they claim their stadium, located in the less affluent La Boca area, smells most of the time, as well as bosteros (manure collectors) a reference to the smell of a polluted river in La Boca. Another infamous slur, coined in the late 1990s over remarks of Boca's forward Diego Latorre
, is to brand Boca Juniors as "The Cabaret", due to the alleged aspiration of some players to steal the limelight.
The rivalry between the two clubs can also affect players, particularly those who are transferred between the two clubs. Cataldo Spitale
was the first to make the change, when he left Boca to sign for River in 1933. Oscar Ruggeri
, who moved to River from Boca in 1985 said, "It's not easy I can tell you. One side looks on you as a traitor and the other doesn't really trust you. You need time to adapt and a lot of character to win people over." Some players have gone so far as to state that they would not play for the other club such as River's Uruguay
an player Enzo Francescoli
while Diego Maradona
during his time playing for Argentinos Juniors
, refused to even consider a move to El Monumental, stating that his dream was to play for Boca.
Recently, in March 21 in the Clausura 2010 tournament, the two teams started playing in La Bombonera. At the 9' the match was suspended because of a big rain in Buenos Aires. The pitch was practically flooded, but in spite of this, the referee, Héctor Baldassi
, stated that the match could be played. In the course of the match, the two teams were unable to keep possession, because the ball became repeatedly bogged down. The match restarted on Thursday 25 March 2010 and was played with two halves of 41 minutes. This was the first Superclásico suspended in history.
June 26, 2011 will forever be an historical date for this match, because of the relegation of River Plate, event that will make the 2011–12 Argentine Primera División season
the first that does not have any Superclásico matches.
There are various claims as to what exactly happened that day. Some claim that the disaster happened after Boca Juniors fans threw burning River flags from the upper tiers of the stadium, causing a stampede of their own fans in the lower tier.
Others claim that it happened after River fans arrived at the Boca section, causing the stampede of the visiting fans. Yet others claim that gate 12 was locked, or would not open at the time, and that the fans at the back did not hear the ones at the front telling them to stop coming in. William Kent, River's former president, claimed that the police were the culprits, as they began repressing Boca fans after they had thrown urine
at them from the stands. Some witnesses claim that the turnstiles to the exit were blocked by a huge iron pole.
After three years of investigation a government enquiry found no-one guilty, much to the disappointment of the families of the victims. Since the tragedy, the gates at El Monumental have been identified by letters instead of numbers.
At the end of the 1968 season the 68 football clubs in the Argentine Football Association collected 100,000 peso
s for the families of the deceased.
