Boca Alumni was an Argentine football team established in La Boca district of the city of Buenos Aires. Boca Alumni participated in the Argentine Football Association tournaments from 1922 to 1931 when the team disaffiliated.
Boca Alumni was established on 1 September 1907 in a bar located in Garibaldi street of La Boca. The founders took the name from the neighborhood where it was founded and the colors from legendary team Alumni, which remains nowadays as one of the most successful clubs of Argentina, with 22 titles won.
The club had its first stadium in Wilde, Buenos Aires but then it moved to Villa Dominico in 1917. Boca Alumni finally established its venue in the Mihanovich Shipping Company stadium, which was located in the Isla Maciel of Dock Sud district in Avellaneda Partido. That stadium was placed very close to the coast of Riachuelo.
In 1922 the team promoted to Primera División that gave it the chance to play against "the other" team called Boca. Both teams faced for the first time in a friendly match on 26 March 1922, where 4,000 spectators attended to the game that Boca Juniors won by 2–0.
But Boca Alumni would defeat Boca Juniors 2–1 in their first official match, disputed on 19 November that same year. The squad remained in the top division of Argentine football until 1926 when both leagues, Asociación Amateurs de Football and official Asociación Argentina de Football (where Boca Alumni played) merged into one and therefore many teams were relegated to the second division.
