Stadium Information

The Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium, formerly known as the Manuel Ferreira Stadium, is the historic home of Club Olimpia in Asunción, Paraguay. Inaugurated on May 15, 1965, its first match was an exciting 2-2 draw between Olimpia and Santos FC of Pelé. This inaugural encounter attracted such an enthusiastic crowd that the stadium's capacity was exceeded, resulting in an incident where one of the fences broke, causing minor injuries. Pelé, showing his humanity, jumped the fence to assist the injured before the match continued.

Located in the Mariscal López neighborhood, on the homonymous avenue, the stadium is affectionately called "The Forest of Para Uno" due to the tall trees that surround it, creating a unique atmosphere. Originally with a capacity for 22,000 spectators, it has been the venue for numerous high-caliber sports events, including the finals of the Interamerican Cup in 1991 and the Conmebol Cup in 1992.

In March 2024, the stadium was officially renamed as Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb Stadium, in honor of the most successful leader in the club's history. In addition, thanks to a significant investment, a complete renovation of the stadium began. The works include the construction of a second tier, VIP boxes, and other improvements, with the aim of increasing the capacity to 32,000 spectators. It is expected that the renovation will be completed by the end of 2025, consolidating the stadium as one of the most modern in the region.

This venue is not only a symbol of Paraguayan football, but also a testimony to the rich history and tradition of Club Olimpia, reflecting its continuous commitment to excellence and passion for sports.
