Transfer Complete
Enner Valencia has signed a contract with Boca Juniors for 18 months. He arrived in Argentina on Saturday, August 8, 2026, and had his first practice with the team on Sunday, August 9, 2026.
Arrival and First Practice
Valencia landed in Ezeiza on Saturday morning and underwent a medical examination. He then attended Boca's match against Vélez Sarsfield in the afternoon, meeting with coach Vasco Arruabarrena and his new teammates. On Sunday, Valencia trained with the team for the first time.
Pending Transfer and Habilitation
Valencia's transfer from Pachuca is still pending, and he is waiting for his habilitation to play for Boca Juniors. The club needs to receive the transfer from Mexico before the deadline to add Valencia to the list of good faith players. If the transfer is received on time, Valencia may make his debut in Boca's match against Huracán.
Next Steps
Boca Juniors will wait for the transfer to be processed and for Valencia to receive his habilitation before he can make his debut in the Argentine league. The club's next match is against Recoleta in the Sudamericana on Tuesday, and Valencia's inclusion in the squad will depend on the timely completion of the transfer and habilitation process.
