Club Bolívar
The club has two stadiums; Estadio Libertador Simón Bolívar, which has a capacity for 5,000 people and is located in the Tembladerani neighborhood of La Paz, is only used for training sessions and friendly matches.Bolívar began playing the amateur era two years after its foundation, in 1927, and in the 1932 tournament the club won its first championship title.Among its 37 appearances in the Copa Libertadores, its best performances were in the 1986 and 2014 editions, where Bolivar finished as a semi-finalist, and as of today is the only Bolivian club to reach this stage.The first president was Carlos Terán, who was accompanied by Ernesto Sainz, Héctor Salcedo, Rafael Navarro, and Felipe Gutiérrez.The first team that disputed the 1927 championship was made up of Walter Miranda, Enrique Tellería, Felipe Gutiérrez Nieto, Víctor Leclere, Carlos Terán, Germán Garnica, Roberto Segaline, Miguel Carreón, Luis Ernesto Sanz, and the captain Humberto Barreda.The club's first international friendly match was played on 3 June 1927, against Coquimbo Unido of Chile in La Paz, losing 2–1.That same year, on 8 July, Bolívar obtained its first international victory against Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta, winning 2–1 in La Paz.The contest began on May 26, but had to be suspended for a month due to the events of the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, more specifically the Battle of Boquerón, which was fought from 7–29 September.1947 is an important year for Bolívar and for Bolivian football, because of winger Víctor Agustín Ugarte's debut with the "celeste" jersey of Bolivar.Under the presidency of Armando Gamarra and under the leadership of Víctor Agustín Ugarte, Mario Mena from Tarija and the participation of players like Argentine Ramón Guillermo Santos, it was crowned champion with 21 points.The unforgettable match of their international friendlies was played on 14 January 1956 in La Paz when they defeated Argentine club River Plate with a historic score of 7–2.Los Millonarios had high-profile players such as Carrizo, Rossi, Bayro, Vernazza, Sívori, Méndez, Ángel Labruna and Zárate.[11] On 23 August 1977, at the then Sheraton Hotel in La Paz, 16 clubs from across the country decided to create the Bolivian Professional Football League.In 1978 the club won their first title after the professional league era began, finishing first in both the first and second stages before beating Wilstermann 1–0 in the final match.The most notable achievements during this era were reaching the 1986 Copa Libertadores semi-finals, and winning a total of ten titles in fifteen years between 1982 and 1997, which cemented their status as one of the biggest clubs in Bolivia.In the round of 16 they achieved an incredible upset after defeating 2022 Copa Libertadores runner-up Athletico Paranaense on penalties, later losing to Internacional.[25] Bolívar and The Strongest are one of the oldest and the most winning teams of the league,[26][27] both from the administrative capital of Bolivia, La Paz; hence the name Paceño.[28] The criteria that were used to show the great rivalry between both teams has to do with the time of existence of the classic, the number of games, the importance of duels, the public they carry, and a historical account of the episodes of violence.
