Clever Ferreira, a 23-year-old centre-back, has been a key player for Atlético Tucumán this year, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 23 games. He has also scored against top Argentine clubs such as River Plate and Boca Juniors, including a goal against Boca in the Copa Argentina last year. This was his first professional goal.
The Paraguay national team will face Bolivia on 27 September in Washington D.C. and Colombia on 2 October in Nueva Jersey. The squad includes two other Argentine players, José Canale and Álex Arce, who have both played in the World Cup. The team is looking to build on their impressive World Cup campaign, where they eliminated Germany in the round of 16 and lost to France in the quarterfinals.
The 28-man squad is led by coach Gustavo Alfaro and includes a mix of experienced players and newcomers like Ferreira. The team will be working under Alfaro's guidance as they prepare for the upcoming friendlies.
