The Club Guaraní is a Paraguayan sports club from the Dos Bocas , a neighborhood on the outskirts of Asuncion . The club was founded in 1903 as Guaraní Football Club . He is the second oldest football club in the country and in 1906 co-founded the Liga Paraguaya de Football Association , today's national football association of the country, the Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol . Since then he has won eleven state championships. The club also had a team in the basketball league and was two-time champions in the middle of the last century. The club name is borrowed from the name of the Guaraní indigenous people , who are known for their bravery. The head of a Guarani also adorns the club's coat of arms.
The club colors black and yellow were taken over by the Uruguayan club CA Peñarol , where two of the founding members, the Melina brothers, once played. Other sources say that founding member Juan Patri borrowed the striped coat of arms from the insignia of the pirate ship Francis Drake , which he saw on a trip to Europe.
Soccer
Guaraní won the first two football championships in Paraguay in 1906 and 1907. Since then, seven more titles and ten runner-up championships have followed.
As the golden decade in the club's history, the 1960s, when Guaraní won three championships and was second four times by 1970. The foundation stone for this was laid by the Uruguayan coach Ondino Viera , who had only recently won second place with the Paraguayan national team at the Copa America in 1963 and was then signed by the legendary President Juan Antonio Sosa Gautier and helped win the first of these championships. He laid the foundation stone for the club's golden era, which lasted until 1970 and brought two further championship titles and two runners-up championships.
In addition, Guaraní advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores in 1966 , although the club was eliminated there without a singing or sounding. The last "full" championship title was won in 1984. In 1996 Guaraní also won the Apertura 1996, although this "half-season championship" is not regarded as a championship - this is calculated here by adding together with the Clausura .
The club's derby is the Clásico Añejo in which Guaraní meets the oldest football club in Paraguay, Club Olimpia .
Guaraní plays its home games in the 1986 built multi-purpose stadium Estadio Rogelio S. Livieres , usually called Estadio Dos Bocas . The stadium, located in Dos Bocas, is named after an important president in Guaraní's history and has a capacity of 8,000.
