The 2024 Campeonato Anual FEM was the twenty-fourth official Paraguayan Annual W Championship, the highest league of women's association football in Paraguay. It was organized by the Paraguayan Football Association.[1]

Competition system

Unlike previous seasons, starting with this edition the Apertura and Clausura tournaments will no longer be played. This is due to the implementation of the Copa efe, the Copa Paraguay FEM and the Supercopa FEM, all of which are new local tournaments.[2]

With this new format, the championship will take place from April to September of the current year; and both the champion and vice-champion teams will qualify for the 2025 Copa Libertadores Femenina.

Teams

Location

The majority of the clubs (8) are concentrated in the country's capital, while three are located a short distance away in cities of the Departamento Central. One is located in the department of Amambay and one is located in Alto Paraná. The Centro de Alto Rendimiento de Fútbol Femenino (CARFEM), property of the Paraguayan Football Association, is included due to its frequent use by teams that choose to officiate there as home venues.
