Estadio Monumental Rio Parapiti

The ground in Pedro Juan Caballero sits at the junction of Avenida 12 de Junio and Alberdi Street, a location that has served as the anchor for Club Sportivo 2 de Mayo since the club acquired the land in 1937. It is not a structure of imperial scale, despite the card listing a capacity of 25,000; the reality of the concrete stands is closer to 20,000 following the significant renovation completed in 1999. That upgrade was timed to host matches during the Copa América tournament, where the pitch saw Paraguay face Peru and Japan take on Bolivia.

The stadium has never possessed the polished uniformity of a modern European arena. The stands were not built in a single sweep but rose slowly, with construction of the concrete seating beginning two decades after the land was secured. The pitch itself is natural grass, a surface that has endured through three decades of Paraguayan football without the synthetic smoothness found in the northern hemisphere.

The highest crowd recorded here was 17,850 spectators during the 2018 Copa Paraguay semi-final between Cerro Porteño and Club 2 de Mayo on October 3, 2018.

The ground is known by two names: Estadio Río Parapití and Estadio Monumental Río Parapití. The addition of 'Monumental' likely reflects the upgraded status after the 1999 renovations rather than any architectural grandeur. It is a functional space for a club that has played out its history in this corner of Paraguay.
