Current season

Club Atlético Colegiales, known as Atlético Colegiales or simply Colegiales, is a football club from the Cuatro Mojones neighborhood in Lambaré, Paraguay. It was founded in 1977 by the Zacarías family. The team currently plays in Primera División B Metropolitana, one of the third tier leagues in the Paraguayan football league system, following its relegation from División Intermedia at the end of the 2024 season.

History

The Zacarías family named the team "Colegiales" (which basically means "students") after their chain of bookstores called "El Colegio" (The College). The team entered the first division in 1982. Colegiales never won a national title in the Liga Paraguaya, however, the few times they have participated in international tournaments they did a good job despite being a very small team from a humble neighbourhood with limited finances. Colegiales best effort was in 1995 when they reached the Copa CONMEBOL semifinals. They have two participations in the Copa Libertadores. In 1991, they qualified for the second round, and in 2000, they could not get past the group stage. Colegiales has been coached by Juan Desiderio Zacarías for over 21 years.
