Thanks to Rossi’s superb performance, Boca added in Brazil, but face the week with an unknown factor.
And it is that, after four years, The contract that linked the La Ribera club with the Qatar Airways company will expire on 30 June, with whom he had signed a contract in 2018 under full management of Daniel Angelici. The peculiarity has to do with the fact that the Qatar airline was not just another sponsor of Xeneize, but rather it was its main sponsor. Therefore, Boca will stop wearing the company logo on their jersey starting next Friday.
In collaboration with Qatar Airways, Boca played 4 seasons, in which they won 5 titles.
That’s right, after 17 years, this Friday Boca will play an official match without a sponsor on the front of the shirt again. The last time was in 2005, when after ending their contract with the Pepsi brand, Boca went without a main sponsor for a few months. At that time the club then chaired by Mauricio Macri used an X (for Xeneize) in the center of the shirt.
In this way, in full farewell to a sponsor like Qatar Airways who accompanied Boca in five of its consecrations, the management begins to look for the next main sponsor to wear with the fringes of the jacket. xeneize. For now there are only rumors, and there is talk that the cryptocurrency exchange platform Binance may be on the sleeves of the shirt.

The truth is that yesterday against Corinthians Boca played the last match at the hands of Qatar Airways.
The requesting sponsor
After terminating your business relationship with the airline, It has been announced that Boca will not sign any contracts with a main sponsor until next year, therefore it will close this 2022 with the strip of jersey ‘clean’ from the sponsors. Regarding this management decision, journalist Sebastián Infanzón revealed: “There are some companies that want to advertise, but for now they do not reach the demands of Boca“.
Despite these statements, and the fact that it has not been revealed which brands have turned to Xeneize with the aim of investing, there has been a viral post on the networks which has given rise to much speculation. And it is that of the brand Quilmes, responded to the request of hundreds of fans who asked for his return with the Boca shirt. At the insistence of fans, the beer CM on Twitter replied, “Well, I think they’re calling me.”
And this is where the rumors began, and today many put Quilmes among the candidates for the new main sponsor of Boca. The truth is that they are just that, rumors. For now, there is no concrete information on who will be the next main sponsor of the La Ribera club, who will play the pass for the Libertadores quarter-finals next Tuesday in La Bombonera.
