Teams

edit

The Supercopa Paraguay is contested by two teams: the champions of the Copa Paraguay and the Primera División (Apertura or Clausura) champions with the best record in the aggregate table of the season.[5]

This was the third time Olimpia played the competition, winning in 2021 but losing in the following season,[6] while this was Libertad's second appearance in the competition, although this was the first time they played the match since the 2023 edition was automatically awarded to them for winning both Primera División tournaments as well as the Copa Paraguay held in that season.[7]
