Paraguay Celebrates the Heritage of Football at Historic FIFA Exhibition

Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, recently hosted a significant exhibition titled "FIFA 120th Year Anniversary" to coincide with the seventy-fifth FIFA Congress. This event marked Paraguay's first time hosting the Congress, occurring in May 2025, which also celebrates a hundred years since Paraguay's Football Association joined FIFA. The exhibit, organized in collaboration between the FIFA Museum and the Museo Conmebol, featured original football trophies, historical relics, and interactive experiences.

The exhibition brought together iconic trophies such as the FIFA World Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FIFA Women's World Cup, Copa Libertadores, and the Copa America, showcasing them to the people and delegates in Paraguay. It was truly a special moment for both attendees and organizers, emphasizing Paraguay's rich football culture and the country's longstanding connection with the sport. Organizers and football dignitaries, including FIFA vice president and CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez, expressed immense pride in the exhibition and anticipated great success and turnout from the passionate football fans in Paraguay.

The event not only displayed memorable football artifacts but also highlighted FIFA's commitment to promoting football globally. The visit to a local league game earlier in the week reinforced the profound enthusiasm and deep-seated connection the Paraguayan people have with football, emphasizing the significance of bringing such an event to the local fans.
