The Club Olimpia 2002 Away Long Sleeve Retro Football Jersey commemorates one of the greatest years in the history of Paraguayan football. Celebrating its 100th anniversary, Olimpia won the 2002 Copa Libertadores under manager Nery Pumpido, defeating São Caetano of Brazil in a dramatic final decided by penalties. The victory delivered the club's third South American championship and earned qualification for the Intercontinental Cup against Real Madrid.
Olimpia's centenary squad featured several important figures, including Richart Báez, Sergio Órteman, Gastón Córdoba, Julio César Cáceres and Julio César Enciso. Córdoba and Báez scored the crucial goals in the Copa Libertadores final's second leg, while Órteman contributed outstanding performances during the knockout stages. Their achievements made the 2002 campaign an enduring part of the club's international history.
The away jersey features a distinctive predominantly black long-sleeved design, highlighted by a broad white horizontal chest band with softly faded edges carrying the prominent Diario La Nación sponsorship in black. The upper chest displays the white Personal sponsor, while the traditional black-and-white Olimpia crest is accompanied by a gold star and the commemorative “1902–2002” inscription. A black V-neck collar with repeating white detailing, fine white piping along the shoulders and side panels, sponsor patches on both sleeves, black cuffs and commemorative labels near the hem complete this striking centenary design.

Other Strong Options: 5 (Julio César Cáceres) / 9 (Richart Báez) / 7 (Mauro Caballero)
We recommend No. 16 (Sergio Órteman) as the standout printing choice for this shirt. Órteman was one of the defining figures of Olimpia's historic 2002 Copa Libertadores triumph and captained the side in the decisive second leg of the final against São Caetano. He also scored twice against Grêmio during the semi-final stage. Combining his importance to the team with the significance of Olimpia's centenary Libertadores victory, No. 16 is one of the most authentic and memorable choices for this shirt.
