Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium

Los Pynandi World Cup Stadium is a specialized beach soccer venue in Luque that was built specifically for international sand football competitions. The playing surface spans around 1,900 square meters (20,400 square feet) and uses sand extracted from the Paraguay River banks, surrounded by permanent concrete stands with spectator seating and supporting facilities.

Construction began in January 2019 on land provided by the Paraguayan Olympic Committee and was completed that November for the Beach Soccer World Cup. This project represented a turning point in building permanent sports infrastructure for sand football in the region.

The stadium name references indigenous heritage of Paraguay and stands as the country's main venue for international beach soccer events. People gather here to experience a sport that has grown into an important part of national sports culture.

The facility includes changing rooms, medical areas, and press sections designed to FIFA specifications for international events. Visitor access features ramps and dedicated spaces for people with mobility needs, along with VIP seating areas for different groups.

This venue holds the distinction of being the first permanent concrete beach soccer stadium built in the world. What makes it remarkable is how it combines international sand football standards with locally sourced river sand, creating a unique connection to the region's natural landscape.
