The president of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) Augustine Lozano confirmed the suspension of the start of League 1. In the afternoon of this Tuesday, January 17, the Professional Soccer League announced in a statement that it had a meeting with the league National Police of Peru to obtain the appropriate guarantees. Minutes later, however, DISEDE, together with the IPD, submitted an official letter banning all sporting events between January 17th and 23rd. Decision ratified by the chief of the highest unit of Peruvian football on Channel N.
Lozano denied that the decision to postpone the start of the League 1 2023 has something to do with the threat that eight clubs led by Alianza Lima and Universitario will not take part in the national tournament, but on the contrary corresponds to the order of the Sports Safety Directorate.
“This Sports Safety Directorate (DISEDE-IPD), in accordance with the provisions of the reference standard art. 18 paragraph 18.1, provides for the cancellation at national level of sporting events planned and / or authorized between January 17th to 23rd, 2023, in order to prevent risks and to avoid harming the safety and physical integrity of people,” the statement said.
