Scouting throughout the country
We provide a clear route for talent to be observed with sporting judgement, regardless of where it was born.
About us
The academy of the People's Club
We are Club Cerro Porteño's Cantera Project. We bring together the Club's Youth Academy, the Club Cerro Porteño Foundation and technology to find, develop and support talent at the Azulgrana Park in Ypané and throughout the country. We work so that the Ciclón's next idols come through our own ranks and to develop, before footballers, people ready for life.
Because the Ciclón's future is not bought: it is sown.
Our commitment
An academy that searches, develops and supports
Development with the CEAI method
Training, education and evaluation come together in one measurable process suited to every stage.
Integral support
The Foundation supports the health, education, family and human development that sustain the footballer.
Data and transparency
We base decisions on evidence, clear responsibilities and continuous follow-up of the development process.
Club governance
Board of Directors
The Club's institutional leadership sets the direction and sustains the conditions required to develop an academy worthy of Cerro Porteño.
