What is DIEZ?
DIEZ is a Bolivian sports news site. Its own front page describes its remit as sports news from Bolivia and the world, with “breaking news, analysis, reports and results”, and carries Grupo EL DEBER branding in its footer.[1] It is published at diez.bo rather than on a path of the parent newspaper's site: a request to eldeber.com.bo for a football article returns a 302 redirect to the corresponding diez.bo address.[2]
Because it shares an owner with EL DEBER, the two entries on this list are not independent of each other. Reporters Without Borders wrote in its 2026 Bolivia country page that ownership of privately owned media in the country “is highly concentrated, which jeopardises pluralism”; that is RSF's wording, as at its 2026 index.[3]
What does DIEZ cover?
Its published sections are Fútbol, Tenis, Multideportivo, Fuera de Juego, Champions League, Mundial 2026 and En El Recuerdo.[1] Football dominates the front page, with both the Bolivian División Profesional and international competition, and the presence of a standing Tenis section and a Multideportivo section alongside it means the title is not a football-only publication. En El Recuerdo is an archive strand rather than a news one.[1]
Two pieces of its reporting are used as sources elsewhere on this site. On 4 September 2024 it reported that the Estadio Municipal de Villa Ingenio in El Alto, which it put at 4,095 metres above sea level, would host a Bolivia World Cup qualifier for the first time, against Venezuela on 5 September 2024.[2] On 20 July 2023 it published a head-to-head for the clásico paceño covering meetings since the creation of the professional league: 227 matches, 92 won by Bolívar, 60 by The Strongest and 75 drawn, goals 342 to 291. The article attributes those figures to no source.[4]
That series is not the only one in circulation. Red Uno published a different set on 12 July 2026 — 303 meetings, 129 to Bolívar, 76 to The Strongest, 98 drawn — also without attribution, covering a different set of matches.[5]
How large is DIEZ's audience?
No audited audience figure for DIEZ could be retrieved. The outlet's own site publishes no traffic, subscription or readership figure, and no Bolivian audited digital measurement currency could be found for this page.[1] Traffic estimators are not audited measurement and no estimate is given here. Nor does the parent group publish a combined figure: EL DEBER's anniversary coverage of 11 February 2026 carries no print run, staff count or digital metric.[6]
The only measured figure available at country level is RSF's: Bolivia placed 91st of 180 in the 2026 World Press Freedom Index with a score of 54.25.[3]
Since when has DIEZ existed?
The outlet's own site states no founding date, and no founding date for it could be retrieved from any source for this page.[1] What can be dated is its output: articles retrieved here run from 20 July 2023 to 4 September 2024, and the title was already carrying the parent group's football coverage on its own domain by the first of those dates.[4][2]
Its parent's dates are separately documented and separately disputed: EL DEBER's own anniversary coverage of 11 February 2026 gives a founding of 11 February 1953, while the Museo de la Prensa Boliviana dates the first issue to 10 June 1953 and 11 February 1965 to a second epoch.[6][7] Neither date belongs to DIEZ.
Why does DIEZ matter in Bolivia's sport?
It is one of the few Bolivian outlets that publishes checkable numbers on the domestic game rather than match reports alone. The head-to-head series it published on 20 July 2023 and the stadium altitude it gave on 4 September 2024 are both used as sources on the Bolivia page.[4][2] Both carry the limits of a single secondary source: the head-to-head names no source and is current only to its publication date, and the altitude figure differs from figures other outlets publish for other Bolivian grounds.[5]
Its relationship to EL DEBER is the second reason it is listed separately. Sport at that group is not a section of the newspaper's site but a title on its own domain, and a reader following a football link from the newspaper is moved to it.[2][1] The two titles therefore reach a reader under one ownership and two mastheads, which is a fact about the Bolivian market RSF describes in its 2026 country page and not a judgement made here.[3] See Bolivian sports media and Bolivia.
