Cerro Porteño to Appeal Disciplinary Tribunal's Superclásico Ruling

Cerro Porteño, a club deeply ingrained in the hearts of Paraguayan football fans, is preparing to challenge a ruling that significantly impacts the Apertura 2026 championship race. The Disciplinary Tribunal's decision to award Olimpia the three points from the suspended superclásico, stemming from unfortunate incidents at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, has been met with strong opposition from Cerro Porteño.

Vice president Rubén Recalde has confirmed that the club will pursue an appeal with the utmost urgency. This move underscores Cerro Porteño's commitment to fairness and its determination to fight for every point on the field, rather than through administrative decisions. The club believes the ruling does not adequately consider the circumstances surrounding the suspension.

The timing of this appeal is critical, as both Cerro Porteño and Olimpia are vying for the title. The ruling means that the final matchday of the Apertura 2026 tournament will see both teams play simultaneously. This ensures a dramatic conclusion to the league, with Cerro Porteño's appeal adding an extra layer of tension and anticipation for supporters of both clubs.
