Back in the World Cup for the first time since 2010, Paraguay are looking to make their mark this summer. The White and Red will have been more than happy to be drawn alongside the United States, Australia, and Turkey.
Very few people are going to be considering Paraguay as a sports betting option to make the final, but they’ve had some big results over the last couple of years and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
What is the average salary for Paraguay players?
The average salary of the 26 players in Paraguay’s World Cup squad is in the £20,000 region. Exact figures are not available for all of the players in the squad, but a spread across South America, MLS, and Europe suggests these players are handsomely compensated.
Salaries will vary considerably across the squad. The highest-earning players could be on more than £50,000 per week, with others earning less than £10,000 per week.
