Guaraní is one of the traditional teams from the Paraguayan football league and during their history they have won a total of nine championships and were runners-up in ten occasions. The most successful era in their history was in the 1960s, where they had an excellent team that won three titles. This era is known as the "golden decade" by the Guaraní fans.
Along with Olimpia, they play the "clásico añejo" (the oldest derby) because they are the two oldest teams from Paraguay. Also, Guaraní, Cerro Porteño and Olimpia are the only teams that have never played in the second division of the Paraguayan league.
In Late May of 2010 Guarani became champions after 26 years after defeating Olimpia in a match that ended 2-1 to clinch the 2010 Apertura Title
