## Bank Closure Spills into Football
Paraguay's Central Bank took control of Ueno Bank, freezing funds for nearly 3 million customers after finding its solvency ratio below legal minimum.
## 10 Players at Risk
At least 10 Paraguayan men's national football team players have deposits exceeding the 228 million guaraníes reimbursement limit per depositor.
## Legal Action Planned
10 players joined a potential collective legal complaint against the Central Bank, seeking recovery of lost funds.
## Football Association Loses Sponsor
Paraguayan Football Association lost US$12 million sponsorship with Ueno Bank, removing branding from stadiums.
## CONMEBOL Also Affected
CONMEBOL, headquartered in Asunción, has 85.470 million guaraníes in deposits but confirms tournaments and prize money are safe.
## Key takeaway

Paraguayan players face financial loss after Ueno Bank's collapse, with legal action planned against the Central Bank.
