Cerro Porteño football club disputes

Overview

Cerro Porteño has been involved in several institutional and disciplinary disputes within Paraguayan football. Initially, Sportivo Luqueño president Daniel Rodríguez rejected a request from Cerro Porteño to relocate an upcoming match to the Defensores del Chaco stadium. Rodríguez accused the club of seeking a sporting advantage and announced that Cerro Porteño supporters would face restrictions on bringing drums or flags into the Luis Salinas stadium.

Subsequently, Cerro Porteño filed a formal protest with the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) Disciplinary Tribunal regarding the expulsion of captain Lucas Quintana during a match against Sportivo Ameliano. The club is seeking to revoke the red card or reduce the three-match suspension, arguing the contact was incidental. This appeal follows an APF analysis admitting the red card was incorrectly issued. Cerro Porteño has also requested that the officiating crew, including referee Derlis Benítez and VAR officials, be barred from future matches involving the club.
