About the club

A bit of history

The Ciclón of Barrio Obrero is Paraguay's 'Más Popular', the 'Mitad más 1'. No international title yet, but a semifinal ceiling in six editions.

Fun fact

Their home is La Nueva Olla, 45,000 azulgranas in the heart of Barrio Obrero, an inferno. And this year they did something historic: they beat Palmeiras away, the first team ever to do it in the Copa.

Why follow them

Under Ariel Holan they press high and win it back fast. Pablo Vegetti scores, Cecilio Domínguez is the X-factor, Jorge Morel runs the midfield.
