After 2 substitute appearances Cáceres quickly established himself as a regular starter in the Racing Club lineup.
Cáceres made one appearance in the qualification cycle for the 2010 World Cup, and was not named to the squad for the team that reached the quarter-final.
Cáceres did make the squad for the 2011 Copa América, and made one appearance, featuring at right back in the semi-final penalty shootout victory over Venezuela, replacing the suspended Antolín Alcaraz.
Out of the national team picture for the next six years, Cáceres made a shocking return during Paraguay's World Cup qualifying matches in September of 2021.
Cáceres was brought on for the final 10 minutes of the 2–1 victory, and he made his first appearance for the national team in six years and two months.
