The article discusses Recoleta Football Club, a modest Paraguayan football team based in the Recoleta neighborhood of Asuncion, which will face Boca Juniors in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. The club was founded in 1931 by Juan Gardel through the merger of two local teams, Unión Pacífico and 2 de Julio. It takes its name from the Recoleta district where it is located and has a strong connection to the local community. The club is known for its commitment to player development, transparency, and ties to the neighborhood. Historically, Recoleta FC had success in amateur leagues between 1936 and 1948, winning four championships during that time. In 2002, the club built its stadium, named after one of its iconic figures, Roque Battilana, which has a capacity of 6,000 spectators. The club is also nicknamed 'El Funebrero' due to its proximity to the Recoleta Cemetery and 'El Canario' because of its yellow home kit. The upcoming match against Boca Juniors marks a significant moment for the club.
