The research question I focused on and examined within this project is, what role does the Argentine soccer team of Boca Juniors play in the economic growth of Buenos Aires? I am investigating this question because soccer has always been a key part of Latin American culture ever since its introduction in the early 19th century. However, Latin America is not known for its thriving economy, yet they are able to afford grand stadiums and large luxury sports teams. Because of this I seek to better understand Boca Juniors larger role in Argentine economics. I did this by researching key terms like “boca juniors”, “economics”, “history”, “importance” and etc. in the colleges Latin American History/History databases. These databases among others all have provided me with a greater and larger understanding on not only the economic but also cultural, political, and social aspects of soccer within Latin America.
