Club Rubio Ñu is a Paraguayan football club based in the neighborhood of Santísima Trinidad in Asunción. The club was founded August 24, 1913 and plays in División Intermedia, the second division of the Paraguayan football league system. Their home games are played at the Estadio La Arboleda which has a capacity of approximately 8,000 seats.
History
The club was founded in 1913 by a group of young friends that chose white and green as the colors in representation of "purity" and "hope", respectively. After its foundation Rubio Ñu joined the rebel league "Liga Centenario", which was created by some clubs that had disagreements with the Paraguayan football association (APF) which was in charge of organizing the main league, the Liga Paraguaya. Some 23 years after its foundation, two others clubs from the same Santísima Trinidad neighborhood (Club Itá Ybaté and Club Flor de Mayo) merged with Rubio Ñu. Sportivo Trinidense (which is also from the same neighborhood) is the club's main rival.
After the Liga Centenario disappeared, they were back in the lower divisions of the Liga Paraguaya until finally in 1926 they won the second division and made their way to the first division. Since then, Rubio Ñu has been relegated and promoted between the third, second and first division several times. Most recently in 2008, they won the second division tournament for the 7th time in their history under the coaching of Francisco Arce and made it to the top-flight of Paraguayan football in 2009.
Rubio Ñu has a reputation for nurturing young talent, often serving as a stepping stone for players who aspire to reach the highest levels of professional soccer. The club competes in the Paraguayan Primera División and has a dedicated fan base that passionately supports the team through thick and thin.
Over the years, Rubio Ñu has experienced various successes, including notable performances in domestic competitions. The club's commitment to developing local talent and its community-oriented approach have solidified its place in Paraguayan soccer culture. With a focus on teamwork, resilience, and a strong sense of identity, Rubio Ñu continues to strive for excellence on the field while fostering a deep connection with its supporters.
