Estadio Ueno La Nueva Olla 2026

Estadio Ueno La Nueva Olla, Asunción

Estadio ueno La Nueva Olla is the sponsored name of the Estadio General Pablo Rojas, home of Club Cerro Porteño in the Barrio Obrero district of Asunción. Known to fans simply as La Olla ('the pot'), the ground was rebuilt in stages between 2015 and 2017 and reinaugurated on 19 August 2017 with a capacity of 45,000, making it a regular stage for big continental fixtures, including the first single-match Copa Sudamericana final in 2019.

Sectors

The stadium is divided into the classic Paraguayan sector types: the graderias (terraced stands) at the north and south ends holding around 18,000 people, the platea seating for about 13,000, and the preferencia sector with roughly 11,000 seats. There are also palcos: around 80 upper-level boxes for 11 people each, plus 13 field-level boxes holding up to 18 people with private facilities. The graderias behind the goals are where the loudest support gathers on matchdays.

Getting there

La Nueva Olla stands in Barrio Obrero, a densely built neighbourhood south of central Asunción. City buses serve the surrounding streets and taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely used; the stadium itself has around 320 parking spaces, so arriving early or leaving the car elsewhere is advisable for high-demand matches. Expect road closures and crowd movement around the ground before and after major games.
