The Council of the Honor Division of the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) set the schedule for the 22nd and final round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura of the Copa de Primera. With Olimpia already crowned champion early, the big question is who will take the runner-up spot.
Three teams are still fighting for second place and will play simultaneously on Sunday at 5 p.m., all at home. Nacional, with 36 points, is best positioned and depends only on itself: it hosts Libertad at the Arsenio Erico stadium. One point behind, Cerro Porteño – who failed to retain the title taken by their classic rival – faces Rubio Ñu at La Nueva Olla, while also competing for a spot in the Copa Libertadores round of 16. With 33 points, Sportivo Ameliano, one of the tournament's surprises, hosts Sportivo Trinidense at the La Fortaleza del Pikysyry stadium in Villeta and needs stumbles from its competitors to achieve the feat.
