Estanislao Struway
| Date of birth | 25 June 1968 |
| Nationality | Paraguayan |
| Weight | 75 kg |
| Height | 1.76 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
A defensive midfielder he plays in the centre to great effect. He has had a long playing career at Cerro Porteno in the domestic league. He moved to Argentina to play for Racing Club and the Los Andes before moving to Peru in 1996 to play for Sporting Cristal. He then moved to Brazil to play for Coritba before returning home to his first club Cerro Porteno in 2000. He moved to his current club Libertad in 2001 and has had an excellent season for his club. At international level he made his debut in 1991 and he featured in the qualifying competition for the 1998 World Cup Finals but was dropped for the Finals as the then coach Paulo Cesar Carpegiani decided he was not good enough on the ball. He is a tough tackling player, breaking up opposition attacks and allowing his more attacking teammates to shine. He should play in the centre in the Far East, but had the misfortune of being credited with the first own goal of the 2002 finals (in the 2-2 draw with South Africa).
