The ‘Soccer Shrine’ Museum can be found inside the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. This stadium holds significance as the place where the greatest football hero, at the tender age of 15, made his grand entry into international football with an Argentinos Juniors jersey. Fate had it that years later he would play his inaugural match donning the Argentine National Team’s jersey here, and Lionel Messi would score his first goals for the Albiceleste.
Argentinos Juniors enjoys global recognition given the sheer number and high-caliber players who have emerged from its rank and file.
One distinctive attribute of the museum is that it was crafted entirely by supporters and members of the society, contributing their labor on a voluntary basis. The museum houses photographs, cards, trophies, jerseys from a plethora of campaigns, among various other precious items bequeathed by its enthusiasts.
Apart from the Museum, our tour will include the grounds, the locker rooms, the main lobby, the press box and the stadium’s seating areas.
