Some players from other clubes were also added to the team specially for the tour, they were Manuel Seoane (El Porvenir), Cesáreo Onzari (Huracán), Luis Vaccaro (Argentinos Juniors), Octavio Díaz (Rosario Central) and Roberto Cochrane (Tiro Federal).
Nevertheless, the project was not carried out so the Boca Juniors executives offered to send club's team to replace the Argentine side.
[5][6] The tour was organised by three representative of Spanish immigrants in Argentina, Zapater, Isasmendi and Ibáñez, becoming the first entrepreneurs in Argentine football.
[8] Finally, on February 4, 1925, the team departed to Europe boarding the De la Carrera vessel, with a large number of fans (about 10,000)[7] saying goodbye to the players at the port.
"Never before it had been seen so many people like the large amount of fans that attended the port of Buenos Aires to say goodbye to a sports delegation (...) Hats and handkerchiefs were thrown to the air as a sign of farewell"The delegation was accompanied by a Boca Juniors fan named Victoriano Caffarena, who not only financed part of the tour, but helped the players as an occasional masseur and kit manager.
The last match played by Boca Juniors in the city was against Sociedad Gimnástica Española, where Vaccaro was injured, missing the rest of the tour games.
However, the two consecutive losses to Real Unión and Athletic Bilbao made the French organisers to turn back their decision.
Therefore, the team extended the tour playing one game else, when in Paris Boca Juniors defeated a local combined by 4–2 with three goals by Manuel Seoane.
[17] The Argentine Association crowned Boca Juniors as "Champion of Honor", an honorary title (unofficial) in recognition to the great campaign during the tour.
After the players came back to their clubs, Boca returned to the official competition in 1926, when the squad won the Primera División championship remaining unbeaten at the end of the tournament.
[18] Despite being successful in terms of sports results, the tour caused a large deficit in Boca Juniors' finances and was followed by a huge controversy that forced Manlio Anastasi to resign as president of the club.
He was accused of bad negotiation so Boca Juniors earned low payments from the European clubs, apart from not taking percentage of ticket selling.
