Soon after the introduction of football in Paraguay by Williams Paats, the Liga Paraguaya de Futbol was created in 1906. The first national football team was organized in 1910 when an invitation by the Argentine club Hércules of Corrientes was received to play a friendly match.The match ended in a 0-0 draw.
The renovated squad created quite a stir by reaching first place in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, and becoming the second CONMEBOL team to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, ahead of continental powers Argentina, Colombia, and Chile. Paraguay defeated Brazil at home (2-0), defeated Chile and Colombia away (0-3 and 0-1), and tied Argentina in the mythical Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. Key players have been Justo Villar in goal, Claudio Morel, Paulo Da Silva, Julio C. Caceres in defense, Edgar Barreto, Jonathan Santana, Enrique Vera and Christian Riveros in midfield, and Roque Santa Cruz, Salvador Cabañas and Nelson Haedo Valdez up front. Qualification was secured with a 1-0 win over Diego Maradona’s Argentina on 9 September 2009.
