The APF announced a radical measure ahead of the match against those led by Lionel Scaloni. They hope that their locality is respected.
The return of the Qualifiers is fast approaching. On Friday, November 15, Chile visits Peru in Lima. The day before, Paraguay will host Argentina in Asunción. The Guarani team has enjoyed a renaissance under the leadership of Gustavo Alfaro and is sixth in the standings, in the direct ranking positions. The coach called for rediscovering people’s identification with their country’s team. In this context, the federation announced a significant measure.
It is normal in stadiums to see supporters arriving with Lionel Messi t-shirts. No matter who is playing, you always see a Flea jacket. The Paraguayan Football Federation will now try to prevent the Paraguayans from arriving with the Argentine “10”. “We will not allow entry with these t-shirts into local public areas. If they want to wear an Inter Miami jersey, let it be Diego Gómez’s (Paraguayan national team), but not Messi’s.” he emphasized Fernando Villasboa, APF Licensing Manager in dialogue with Tigo Sports.

For the manager the situation is not a joke and he predicts that there will be officials responsible for ensuring that no one wears the Transandean jersey and that if this happens they will be expelled from Defensores del Chaco. “We will have people who will be very attentive to that, police officers and private security. If you see someone wearing the wrong jersey, we will very kindly ask them to leave the stadium directly. he condemned.
“This is for the safety of the fans and so that we are clearly keen to support the Paraguayan team. This day must be solely and exclusively albirroja. The next day, people can do what they want, but on November 14, it will be Paraguay and nothing else.” he finished.
