The intervention of Ueno Bank by the Central Bank of Paraguay due to solvency issues has caused significant disruptions within the football sector. 

Local Paraguayan clubs, including Olimpia and Cerro Porteño, face financial instability. Olimpia specifically faces the potential loss of 76 million reais in sponsorship. Additionally, the players' union, Futbolistas Asociados del Paraguay, reported that many players have had their salaries blocked.

The crisis has also reached the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol), which has between 13 million and 14.3 million dollars deposited in the institution. Conmebol stated that these frozen funds represent approximately 2.3 to 2.5 percent of its annual revenue. The organization asserted that the situation does not compromise its operational capacity or its ability to pay tournament prize money, confirming that schedules for the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana finals will proceed as planned.
