Club Cerro Porteño is a professional Paraguayan football club, based in the neighbourhood of Obrero in Asunción. Founded in 1912, Cerro has won 34 Primera División titles and is one of the most popular football clubs in Paraguay. Its president is Raúl Zapag and the manager is Carlos Jara Saguier.

History

Diego Barreto was formed at the club's youth academy

Cerro Porteño was founded on 1 October 1912 by Susana Núñez and a group of young people looking to create a new football club. At the time of Cerro's foundation, the situation in Paraguay was tense with instability in the government caused by the fervent rivalries between the two leading political parties, the (Crimson Party) and the (Liberal Party).

Edgar Barreto graduated from the club's academy to the first-team in 2003

Because of the tensions, the founders of the club decided to use the colours of both parties, red (Colorados) and blue (Liberals), as the club's colours as a symbol of unity and friendship between Paraguayans. Later, white was used on the shorts to incorporate all the colours of the Paraguayan flag.

Diego Lugano joined the club in 2015

The club owes its name to the battle fought between the forces of Buenos Aires, Argentina (The Porteños) and the Paraguayan army, in the neighbourhood of the Cerro Mbaé (Mbaé Hill) – named after that battle as the Cerro Porteño (Porteño Hill) – on 19 January 1811. During that battle, the troops of Paraguay (at that time a Spanish colony) were abandoned by the Spanish governor but continued to be led by the Paraguayan officials, who led them to a great victory against the Porteño's troops. That battle is known as the "Battle of Cerro Porteño" and is a highlight of Paraguayan military history.[]

Geremi Njitap played for the club during the 90s.

Over the years the club has won a significant number of national championships. However, to date, it has not won any international tournaments despite a few good runs in the Copa Libertadores including semi-final appearances in 1973, 1978, 1993, 1998, 1999 and 2011.

Julio dos Santos was formed at the club's youth academy

Osvaldo Ardiles joined the club as manager in May 2008, but was sacked in August of the same year after a string of poor results and was replaced by Pedro Troglio.

Marcelo Martins joined for club for the 2022 season

In 2014, Cerro Porteño president Juan José Zapag spoke in reference to the corruption in Paraguayan football that various persons had complained to him about not buying games and that if his club were to win then they would not do it by buying and doping players to become champions.

Cerro Porteño, one of Paraguay's most storied and successful soccer clubs, was founded on October 1, 1912, in the capital city of Asunción. Known for their passionate fan base, the team is often referred to as "El Ciclón" (The Cyclone) due to their dynamic playing style and the fervor of their supporters.

The club's colors are blue and red, which are prominently displayed in their iconic jersey. Cerro Porteño has a rich history in Paraguayan football, having won numerous domestic league titles and consistently competing at the highest level. Their home matches are played at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas, a vibrant venue that can hold over 45,000 fans, creating an electrifying atmosphere on match days.

Cerro Porteño has also made its mark on the international stage, participating in prestigious tournaments such as the Copa Libertadores, where they have had several notable runs. The club is known for its commitment to developing local talent, contributing significantly to the national team and the sport in Paraguay.

With a legacy built on tradition, rivalry, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, Cerro Porteño remains a symbol of pride for its supporters and a formidable force in South American football.
