Apertura Paraguay 2009
1935 On Jul 7, 1935, the Liga Paraguaya excluded various clubs to reduce the number of top flight teams, ruling that participating clubs must possess a playing field within the borders of Asunción. Because of this, Presidente Alvear, Sportivo Luqueño, C.A.L.T., Universo and General Caballero were excluded from participation. However, C.A.L.T., possessing a modern stadium and influential directors, were later admitted to the league. NB: only a 'half' championship was organised. Known Results Round 1?
