Club Olimpia, founded on 25 July 1902, are based in Asunción, Paraguay and compete in the Primera División, a profile we match to signed football shirts available through Walkouts. The club’s origins are linked to William Paats, the Dutch educator credited with introducing organised football in Paraguay, and the team’s white home identity and continental pedigree make their shirts a focus for collectors.
Home fixtures were long held at the Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb, familiarly called El Bosque or Para Uno, before the main football side moved to the Estadio Defensores del Chaco. That stadium lineage, combined with a public sporting centre on the Mariscal López site, means shirts traced to these venues often carry stronger provenance and regional appeal for fans seeking museum‑grade provenance.
On the field Olimpia have amassed a domestic record often cited by historians, owning 47 Primera División titles, and their international honours include three Copa Libertadores wins, an Intercontinental Cup, Recopa Sudamericanas and other continental trophies. Those landmark successes define which seasons and player names are most sought after by collectors, especially framed shirts and player-issue variants associated with continental finals.
Anniversary editions remain important to the market, notably items tied to the club’s milestones such as the Centenary 2002 releases, which are prized for commemorative badges and limited production runs. Shirts from pivotal campaigns are also magnets, in particular garments connected to the club’s 1979 campaigns and later Libertadores finals, because they represent rare convergence of domestic dominance and continental triumph.
Away shirts and alternate kits carry distinct collector value, with black and white heritage reflected in many key road fixtures and cup ties; away colourways linked to Copa Libertadores nights or the Intercontinental Cup are often chased for match provenance and photographic evidence. Retail fanshop shirts, not only match-worn pieces, are actively collected when they come from early production runs, player-issue variants or region-specific releases, and clearly described retail provenance helps separate standard stock from limited editions.
Authentication is central to demand, so verified cues such as COA on signed items, witnessed signing notes or exact photo proof elevate resale interest and are referenced in listing descriptions. Collectors prize signatures from title-winning squads and tend to prefer shirts with clear supply history, framed presentation options and documentation that ties a signature to a specific match or tour.
For those following Olimpia’s storied moments, items linked to the 1979 quadruple and to decisive continental fixtures like the 1979 Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup 1979 carry particular weight, while later continental campaigns and early 1990s honours also supply sought after player-issue shirts. Walkouts lists authenticated and documented shirts from these seasons plus commemorative runs and fanshop exclusives, with Free worldwide shipping available for many framed and signed options.
