Governing body of association football in Paraguay
The Paraguayan Football Association (Spanish : Asociación Paraguaya de Futbol [asosjaˈsjom paɾaˈɣwaʝa ðe ˈfuðβol] ; APF ) (Guarani : Paraguái Mangapy Atyguasu ), is the omnibus governing body of football in Paraguay .[2] It organizes the Paraguayan football league , including futsal and beach soccer, as well as and the Paraguay national football team . It is based in the city of Luque , near the capital city, Asunción . Football is the most popular sport in Paraguay.[2]
History
[ edit ]
In the late 1890s William Paats brought soccer to Paraguay, when it was then played at an Asunción teacher's college. Escuela Normal de Maestros.[2] [3]
In 1906, five existing Paraguayan football teams (Olimpia, Guaraní, Libertad, General Díaz, and Nacional) created the governing body of football in Paraguay, the Paraguayan Football League.[2] In 1998 it adopted its current name.[2] On June 18, 1906,[4] the representatives of the five existing football teams in Paraguay at that time (Olimpia , Guaraní , Libertad , General Díaz , and Nacional ) met to establish the Paraguayan Football League, named Liga Paraguaya de Football Association.[5] The first match was played on a Sunday, July 8, 1906.[6] Adolfo Riquelme, who was a well known Paraguayan journalist , was the organization's first president.[2]
In 1921, during the presidency of Enrique Pinho, the Paraguayan Football League joined the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL).[7] In 1925 it became a member of FIFA .[2] [8] [3]
In 1941 it changed its name to Liga Paraguaya de Football and in 1957 the name was Hispanicized as Liga Paraguaya de Fútbol.[9]
On December 3, 1998, its name was changed to its current denomination, Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol,[2] [5] which coincidentally is one of the names that had been adopted by a dissident football association that brought together some teams, which would later join the League, and which organized championships between 1911 and 1917.[4]
In 2016, APF appointed Robert Harrison , the former head of Club Nacional , as president.[10] Harrison succeeded Alejandro Domínguez , who resigned to run for president of CONMEBOL, after Juan Ángel Napout stepped down from that role in December 2015.[10]
In 2019, APF hired Argentinian Eduardo Berizzo as manager of Paraguay's national men's team.[11]
Paraguay have not previously hosted the FIFA World Cup . In August 2022, APF joined up with the football associations of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile to jointly bid to host the World Cup in 2030 .[12] [13]
Institutional Succession
[ edit ]
From its foundation in 1906 until it adopted its final name in 1998, the APF followed the following institutional trajectory::

The football in Paraguay has four levels in men's tournaments (five in the interior of the country) and one division in women's tournaments.[19] The Paraguayan Football Association with an affiliated association called the Interior Football Union (UFI) -which consists of 17 federations, one for each department of the country, excluding the city of Asunción -, organizes the different championships.[20]
The most popular football teams in Paraguay are Olimpia ,[3] Cerro Porteño , Guaraní , Libertad and Nacional . All of them are from Asunción.[21]
The Supercopa Paraguay is a national cup played since 2021.[22] It is single match, on a neutral field that faces the champion of Primera División and the champion of Copa Paraguay , a competition created in 2018 with teams of all categories, including the federations that belong to UFI.[23]
There is also a category for the reserve of the football teams called Categoría Reserva[24] and then the formative divisions from 14 to 19 years.[25] The women's division also has a U-18 category.[26]
Since 2024 there are four women's tournaments: the one division league -called Campeonato Anual FEM-, Copa EFE, Copa Paraguay FEM and Supercopa FEM.[27] [28]
Regarding futsal , it is organized in four categories: a premium league, the Honor Category, Primera and Intermedia.[29] [30] There is also a category for women.[31]
The APF also organizes two beach soccer championships, the Tournament of Stars[32] and the Women's Beach Soccer Tournament.[33]
Controversy
[ edit ]
The freedom of players to be contractually released and transfer between clubs and negotiate contracts (commonly called a "buyout clause ") has been controversial, and subject to both scholarly inquiry and legal proceedings.[34] [35] [36] [37]

With the current regulations of the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) it is impossible the automatic execution of the compensatory clauses due to anticipated contractual breakdown (buy-out clauses), because with the simple opposition of the employer club, the exit operation of a player it is extended in time and is subject to the decision of a judge outside the parties. Therefore, this work will attempt to demonstrate the imperative need to have aspecific federative regulation to implement a summary administrative procedure to materialize the automatic release of players who are in a position to execute clauses of this type.
