The Estadio Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb, known until March 2024 as Estadio Manuel Ferreira, and officially Estadio ueno Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb due to sponsorship by banking company Ueno, is a football stadium in Asunción, Paraguay. It is the home venue of Club Olimpia and is named after former club president Osvaldo Domínguez Dibb.
The stadium was opened in May 1965 with a friendly match between Olimpia and Santos FC of Brazil, whose team included Pelé. The excitement to see Pelé playing was so great that the stadium's capacity was exceeded. During the game, one of the fences supporting the crowd in the stands broke, and many people were injured. As soon as the incident happened, Pelé ran and jumped over the fence to help the injured people. Only minor injuries occurred, and the match proceeded, ending in a 2–2 draw.
Though the stadium is the home ground of Club Olimpia, the Defensores del Chaco stadium is used for major derbies against their rivals such as Cerro Porteño because of its greater capacity.
The stadium is nicknamed "The Forest of Stop One" on account of its surroundings constituting large, tall trees, and the location having been the first stop of a now defunct Paraguayan train.
In 2024, a complete demolition of the stadium had begun. A completely new stadium will be built on the original site for the purpose of hosting one of the centenary matches of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The new stadium will be completed by 2027, and will have a capacity of 46,000.

The Embassy of the United States in Asunción is the diplomatic mission of the United States in Paraguay, located in Asunción.
Diplomatic relations between Paraguay and the United States were formally established in 1861. On January 4, 1942, the two countries announced the elevation of their legations to the status of embassy. This took effect on March 31, 1942, with Señor Dr. Don Celso R. Velazquez presenting his credentials as Ambassador of Paraguay to the U.S. and Wesley Frost being promoted and presenting his credentials as U.S. Ambassador to Paraguay on April 15, 1942. Between 1955 and 1957, a new embassy was constructed based on the design of Chloethiel Woodard Smith, the only female architect to participate in the US State Department's embassy redesign program, which employed rising stars of architecture to symbolize the country's commitment to individual expression.
The construction of the current embassy building began in 2017, on the site of the existing building—14 acres of land at the intersection of Mariscal López and Juscelino Kubitschek avenues. It was designed by the American architectural firm Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership. It was opened on June 29, 2023. The new embassy building has elements of sustainable architecture, such as a rain collection system which covers the totality of the embassy's irrigation needs.
