Olimpia and Cerro Porteño Set for Futsal Semifinal Showdown in Paraguay

The highly anticipated Liga Premium de Futsal semifinals in Paraguay will feature a classic rivalry as Olimpia hosts Cerro Porteño this Saturday. The first leg of their crucial semifinal clash is set to take place in Capiatá, with kick-off scheduled for 1:30 PM. Fans can catch the action live on TigoSports.

Cerro Porteño enters the match with a strong pedigree, being the sole team to have secured the absolute championship in all previous editions of the Liga Premium. Despite some veteran players having retired, the team demonstrated its dominance by finishing first in both the regular season and the Liguilla phase. They topped Group A, while Exa Ysaty led Group B, setting the stage for these semifinal pairings.

Meanwhile, Olimpia and Cerro Porteño, once prominent in traditional football, now battle in the smaller arena of futsal. This semifinal matchup is part of a larger tournament organized by the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). The second leg of the semifinals will determine the finalists for the 2026 Liga Premium season. The tournament's history shows Cerro Porteño's consistent success, having won 10 titles since 2015, with the exception of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sport Colonial and Olimpia also claimed titles in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
