Paraguayans in Atlanta

We are a small but real community. We came for different reasons — work, family, education, opportunity — and we stayed. Atlanta became our home, and CPAG became the place where we find each other.

We live in different neighborhoods across the metro area, work in diverse industries, and carry different stories. What unites us is our origin, our culture, and the desire not to be alone in this city.

If you are Paraguayan in Atlanta — or on your way here — this is your place. No formal introduction or requirements needed. Just show up.

Paraguay is in Atlanta

We are not invisible. Paraguay has a real presence in this city — in the stadiums, in the theaters, and in the streets of Atlanta.

Miguel Almirón

Born in Asunción, Almirón returned to Atlanta in 2025 after six seasons at Newcastle United. Captain of the Albirroja, he helped Paraguay qualify for the 2026 World Cup — their first since 2010. Every match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a reason for us to come together.
