The Legacy
Paulo César Carpegiani managed Paraguay at the 1998 World Cup in France. Reebok supplied the kits for this tournament where the side reached the Round of 16. José Luis Chilavert anchored the defense, supported by the tactical discipline of Carlos Gamarra and Celso Ayala. Francisco Arce provided width from the backline throughout the group stage matches against Bulgaria, Spain, and Nigeria. The team eventually exited the competition following a narrow defeat to the eventual champions, France, in a golden goal finish. These players remained central to the national setup throughout the late nineties.
Key Moment
