Gustavo Alfaro renews as Paraguay national team coach until 2030
The Paraguayan Football Association (APF) has officially renewed the contract of Argentine head coach Gustavo Alfaro until 2030. The announcement was made by APF President Robert Harrison, who confirmed the extension via social media with the message, “2030, allá vamos.”
Alfaro, 64, has become a significant figure in Paraguayan football after leading the “Albirroja” back to the World Cup in 2026 following a 16-year absence. During the 2026 tournament, his side achieved a historic victory by eliminating four-time champions Germany in a penalty shootout during the round of 16, before eventually being eliminated by France with a 0-1 score.
The renewal secures Alfaro for the next World Cup cycle. His upcoming schedule includes friendly matches against Bolivia on September 27 and Colombia on October 2 in the United States. The decision follows period of speculation regarding his future after the 2026 World Cup concluded.
