Estadio General Pablo Rojas, Football stadium in Barrio Obrero, Asunción, Paraguay
Estadio General Pablo Rojas is a football stadium in Asunción with a capacity of around 45,000 seats spread across multiple levels, many of which have roof coverage. The structure features seating areas distributed throughout to accommodate spectators during football matches.
The stadium opened in 1970, following a proposal announced in 1959 by the club president whose name it bears. Construction remained unfinished for decades until the final sections were completed in 2009.
The stadium serves as home to Cerro Porteño, one of Paraguay's most passionate football clubs, and draws large crowds of supporters who fill the stands with energy during matches.
Visitors should expect crowded conditions during major matches, especially when rival teams play. Arriving early and choosing covered seating areas helps ensure comfort and a better view of the field.
For nearly four decades, the southwestern corner remained open to the surrounding area, leaving this arena unusually incomplete for a sports venue. Only when construction concluded in 2009 was this final gap sealed and the structure made whole.
