The fact did not stop there and was investigated by the Control Committee of the LNSV, which issued its decision two days later, that is, on Sunday 26 February. “The acts of violence of February 24 constitute a serious offense typified by the regulations of the Peruvian Volleyball Federation (FPV).”
Why was Universitario punished with disqualification and relegation?
The LNSV competition rules state that the participating teams are responsible for the correct behavior of their members, including their fans. The aggression of the pseudo-fan of the ‘U’, according to the tournament organizers, immediately jeopardized the development of the tournament.

Therefore, due to the need to ensure the welfare of LNSV participants, after much debate, it was decided that the ‘U’ would be disqualified from the 2010 tournament and relegated to the Lima District League. Universitario appealed the imposed sanction; however, the FPV declared this complaint to be inadmissible.
