Enner Valencia signs for Boca Juniors and scores first goal

Overview

Following his medical on 8 August, 36-year-old Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia officially signed a contract with Boca Juniors running through December 31, 2027. The free agent arrived from Pachuca to address the club’s need for a central striker following an injury to Adam Bareiro.

Valencia made his official debut as a substitute in the 57th minute during a 4-0 Copa Sudamericana round of 16 second-leg victory against Recoleta in Paraguay on 18 August. After appearing in four matches as a substitute without scoring, Valencia was selected by coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena to make his first start on 5 September 2026 against Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza in the Torneo Clausura. This decision was intended to manage the workload of Miguel Merentiel ahead of a Copa Sudamericana quarter-final against São Paulo.

On 10 September 2026, Valencia scored his first goal for the club during the ninth round of the Clausura tournament in a match against Central Córdoba. He converted a left-footed shot in the 11th minute following a play involving Ángel Romero and Dylan Gorosito. The goal serves as a significant breakthrough for the former Ecuador national team captain, who had faced criticism and a period of poor form following a missed penalty in a Copa Argentina shootout against Vélez Sarsfield and a lack of match rhythm.
