Host cities
Why Paraguay for FIFA 2030
Estadio Defensores del Chaco
Paraguay's national stadium and home of La Albirroja — an intimate atmosphere compared to the giant stadiums elsewhere in FIFA 2030.
Getting to Asunción
Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU). Connections from Buenos Aires (1.5 hours), São Paulo (2 hours), most international fans routing through Buenos Aires.
Food
Sopa paraguaya (a dense cornbread), chipa (cheese bread), asado, with unique Guaraní culinary influence.
Combine with the other centenary hosts
Asunción to Montevideo is 2 hours by air, Asunción to Buenos Aires 1.5 hours — all three South American centenary matches are logistically possible in a 7–10 day trip.
