Argentina - Boca Juniors


Back when el Pibe D'Oro was their el Diez, the nets were suspended at La Bombonera by big sloping A-frames.


More recently Boca are one of a number of Argentine clubs to embrace the global box net, albeit with a twist. Not for them the cable ties and stanchions of your usual box net set-up.

Instead, the nets hang from an elongated L-support as below.


So, are they box nets or L-supports?

You choose.
