A 16-year wait ends
Paraguay’s last World Cup was 2010 in South Africa, where they reached the quarter-finals. Sixteen years on, they are back, slotted into Group D with USA, Australia and a playoff winner.
The design
The iconic red-and-white vertical stripes are preserved — these are one of the oldest consistent kit templates in South American football. The 2026 version is slightly slimmer in the stripe width and adds a subtle chevron at the shoulder, but the identity is untouched.
Who to watch
Miguel Almiron still producing moments at international level, Julio Enciso emerging as a real creative force, and Antony Silva still one of the best keepers in CONMEBOL. A squad in transition but with real quality.
Why you should care
Red-and-white stripes are one of those designs that look timeless the moment they hit the pitch. If you missed buying the 2010 version, the 2026 one is a genuine second chance.
