Football (Soccer) Uniforms: Countries--Paraguay


Figure 1.--Here we see some Paraguayan boys playing soccer, probably about 2000. It is a relatively poor country and thus Paraguayan boys may play barefoot.

Paraguay is a South Americsn country for which we have very little information. The Paraguyan national Team was founded in 1906 and affiliated with the World Association in 1921. Parguay participated in the World Cup several times (1930, 1950, 1958, 1986, 1998, 2002). They were in the final 16 twice (1998, 2002), which is a substantial achievement for such a small country. This speaks in part to the popularity of the sport in Paraguay. We know nothing at this time about youth sports in the country. A reader has sent us, however, a photograph of boys playing football. As in the rest of South America, football is by far the principal sport. It is a relatively poor country and thus may play barefoot. We have few details about football in Paraguay.
