All statistics correct as of 30 September 2024.

The 2024 División Intermedia season, named "Homenaje a Daniel Giménez, Félix Quiñonez e Isidoro Benítez", is the 106th season of the second-tier league of Paraguayan football and the 27th under the División Intermedia name. The season began on 5 April and is scheduled to end on 14 October 2024, and the fixtures for the season were drawn on 28 November 2023.[1][2]

Deportivo Recoleta and Tembetary earned promotion to the Paraguayan Primera División at the end of the season, with the former clinching a top two finish with three matchdays to go by defeating Pastoreo on 22 September,[3] and the latter doing so on the following matchday, beating Fernando de la Mora on 29 September.[4]

Format

[edit]

16 teams take part in the competition, which is played under a double round-robin system with teams playing each other twice, once at home and once away for a total of 30 matches. The top two teams at the end of the season will be promoted to the Paraguayan Primera División for the 2025 season, while the bottom three teams in the relegation table at the end of the season will be relegated: teams located within 50 kilometres of Asunción are relegated to Primera División B, while teams from outside Greater Asunción and the Central Department are relegated to Primera División B Nacional.
