Raúl Vega, president of Olimpia de Villarrica, raising the champion’s cup in a journalistic program.
Olimpia de Villarrica, which recently became champion of the local tournament, is preparing to debut in the Paraguay Cup against the Guaraní team from La Colmena, a match to be held at the Parque del Guairá stadium, starting at 7:30 p.m. according to the fixture of the Paraguayan Football Association (APF).
It is important to remember that the team from the capital of Guairá, under the presidency of Mr. Raúl Vega, last December obtained the title of local champion, after long 14 years, to later win the rights to participate in the Paraguay Cup, after leaving out to the Independiente team of Mauricio José Troche.
Vega, a young leader, took the helm of the club last year and quickly began to achieve auspicious results for the aspirations of the fringe team, which today, without even the most pessimistic fan believing, will be competing on Tuesday in a competition organized by the APF . In that sense, the club president stated that the goal is to go as far as possible in the Paraguay Cup and, if possible, access the coveted final.
Olimpia de Villarrica has a lush squad, a mix of young and experienced footballers, among whom Rosalino Toledo, Willian Riquelme, Marcos Andino, among others, stand out, to name a few. The leadership manages a good budget to face the most important tournament for a team from the interior of the country.
