However, not everyone who started the year with the victorian team stayed to celebrate the national title. In fact, midfielder Edgar Benítez left the institution in the middle of the year to seek new opportunities in international football.
In that sense, the 'Pájaro' decided to return to his country, where he remained without a team for six months. However, everything indicates that the 35-year-old player will finally be part of a team that will compete in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana.
This team is General Caballero, a team that finished seventh in the accumulated table of the Copa de Primera. The 'Rojo de Mallorquín' was one of the surprises of last season, so this year they aim to become one of the protagonists of the aforementioned international tournament.
It should be noted that General Caballero's first match in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana will be against Tacuary on March 7th of this year. The winner of this duel will secure a spot in the group stage of the competition.
