EstadioDefensoresdelChaco is a multi-use stadium in Asunción, Paraguay.
It was later renamed with the current name "DefensoresdelChaco" (Defenders of the Chaco) in honor of the triumphant soldiers that took part in the Chaco War between Paraguay and Bolivia.
The stadium is not owned by a team (it is a National stadium) and it is used primarily to host the home games of the Paraguay national football team and for international football club tournament games such as the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana.
The Chaco War (1932–1935) was fought between Bolivia and Paraguay over control of great part of the Gran Chaco region of South America, which was incorrectly thought to be rich in oil.

Many middle-class Bolivians were humiliated by Bolivia's quick military defeat during the Chaco War, which led to a mass-movement away from the traditional order known as the Generación delChaco, which was epitomized by the MNR-led Revolution of 1952.
