About

Club Sol de América, based in Asunción, Paraguay, compete in Paraguayan Primera División and have a long record that matters to collectors, and Walkouts lists signed football shirts that trace that story.

The club was founded on 1 January 1909 and retains deep local roots in Barrio Obrero; its match programme and media links note the suburban ground the side uses for most fixtures in Villa Elisa. Sol de América are best known for their football side and for winning the Paraguayan First Division on two occasions, a headline honour recorded as two Primera División titles.

Collectors often target anniversary releases that mark the club's milestones, with a centenary celebration in 2009 noted in club histories as a clear post-1970 focal point for commemorative shirts and boxed editions. Limited runs issued around that milestone are commonly cited by sellers and appear in private collections as emblematic anniversary pieces.

Season and match magnets for Sol de América centre on the campaigns that delivered silverware, notably the title-winning years and the decisive fixtures inside them. Shirts associated with the 1986 and 1991 campaigns are chased because they represent championship squads and often come with provenance linking a player or match, which elevates their appeal to regional collectors.

Away shirts form another layer of interest; the classic alternate has been described in visual records as white with blue trim, a colourway worn in many important away fixtures and tied to decisive results during title runs. Such shirts are favoured for framing after away victories and are frequently highlighted in sale listings for their match provenance.

Signed retail demand is strong for fanshop and retail-issue shirts as well as for match-issued examples, with collectors seeking early runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases that carry clear provenance. Many listings for Sol de América pieces include a COA to verify signatures or indicate witnessed signings, and that verification cue is central to trusted offers for framed or match-worn shirts.

Local provenance is important, whether a shirt ties to Barrio Obrero or to matches played at Villa Elisa, and that detail often appears alongside season references in listings; pieces linked to the 1986 title run or the 1991 championship are among the most requested, so description, photo proof and provenance notes matter.

The breakthrough came in 1986, when a well-organised side climbed above the league’s traditional heavyweights to secure the club’s first national championship. That achievement proved no one-off; a second title followed in 1991, confirming staying power at the summit and delivering another banner year for supporters. Those Paraguayan First Division triumphs remain the headline honours in the club’s footballing story and continue to set the benchmark for subsequent generations.
