Apertura Paraguay 2009
Información Histórica
1935
On Jul 7, 1935, the Liga Paraguaya excluded various clubs to reduce
the number of top flight teams, ruling that participating clubs must
possess a playing field within the borders of Asunción. Because of
this, Presidente Alvear, Sportivo Luqueño, C.A.L.T., Universo and
General Caballero were excluded from participation. However, C.A.L.T.,
possessing a modern stadium and influential directors, were later
admitted to the league.
NB: only a 'half' championship was organised.
