Although other sports are practised (such as basketball, field hockey or taekwondo), the club is mostly known for its football team, which currently plays in the Liga de fútbol Sur, the regionalised 6th level of Argentine football league system.

The first step in the foundation of Club Boca was given by a group of enthusiastic meat processing plant workers, who decided to join themselves and create a football team in the city of Río Gallegos.

But this wouldn't be totally fulfilled until October 12, 1945, which settled down as the official date of foundation of the institution.

On 1988 Boca participated in the Torneo Regional (organized by Asociación del Fútbol Argentino) for the first time.

Boca was allowed to play after the teams which had finished first, second and third in the last tournament, declined to participate in the next edition.
