At just 18 years old, a young forward from Córdoba lived a day of great joy this Tuesday that was celebrated from a distance by all the citizens of the town of Adelía María, where he is from.

Is about Iker Zufiaurre, who from that city in the Río Cuarto Department, in the south of the province, managed to fulfill his first great dream: to be a professional. And no less than in Boca Juniors.

This Tuesday, Iker signed a contract until December 2028 with Xeneize and posed in the photo with manager Raúl Cascini.

Zufiaurre is a 2005 category. He is a very fast, skilled striker with the ball and, above all, he has a goal.

The boy is from Adelia María, department of Río Cuarto, Córdoba.

His path began at Atlético Adelia María, where he began playing as a hooker, but since his arrival at Boca around 2017 he began to mutate. First he became a striker on the outside and in the last time he became a center attacker due to his imposing physique.

In 2023 he had the chance to debut in Mariano Herrón’s Reserve, where he played eight games. And he stood out. In fact, he was one of the youth players that Jorge Almirón followed closely to move up to First Division.

Furthermore, last year he was the top scorer with 15 goals for the champion Fifth Division.

Currently, in addition to his participation in the Libertadores Sub 20, he is also the holder of the Herrón reserve.

All this made coach Diego Martínez follow him very closely. The Boca coach took it into account in this past preseason.

Not only that, he also used him in many practices with the Primera in soccer rehearsals and even gave him minutes in a friendly against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires in Ezeiza.

“Iker Zufiaurre is now a professional! The 2005 category player signed his first contract with Boca, until December 2028, together with Raúl Cascini of the Football Council,” Xeneize reported on their networks.

Without a doubt, a more than happy day for this kid who hopes to soon reach the Primera de Boca.
