Peru burns: Three clubs hold federation to account for millionaire spending in qualifiers they lost to Australia

Alianza Lima, Universitario and Cienciano come together to ask the board of directors led by Agustín Lozano to explain the enormous costs involved in the operation in Qatar. Inca media reported a high number of guests on the tour, which included a friendly match in Barcelona.

Peru is burning. Disappointment at Qatar’s World Cup exit in qualifiers against Australia, which included goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne’s star-studded penalty shootout, now mingles with outrage from three major clubs of the Inca country, Alianza Lima, Universitario and Cienciano, who welcome the complaints raised in the media and publicly demand that the federation chaired by Agustín Lozano detail the millionaire expenses incurred in the preparation and playoff dispute vs oceanic s, which included a previous visit to Barcelona .

According to journalistic versions, the operation cost “no less than 1.3 million dollars” and a significant part of this money was used to finance the trip of many guests. Journalist Eddie Fleischaman pegged it at 180, although the federation rejected that figure. “In which were leaders of Ligue 1, Ligue 2, departmental leagues, footballers’ union, with relatives, with relatives, with lots of curious people. People who traveled paid by the Federation, remained paid by the FPF “, explained the communicator.

pay favors

The three clubs mentioned are asking for clarification. Through a joint press release, they specify that they have already formally requested the details of the expenses. In addition, they warn that they will send communications to FIFA and Conmebol, in order to clarify the destination of the resources. “Our institutions will also send said letter to Conmebol and FIFA, in their legitimate desire to make transparent the expenses that the FPF has made without consultation, which would not only be arbitrary and devoid of technical support, but could also reflect a use burden of paying political favors “, they argue.

The accusing clubs point out that they make millionaire contributions to the federation, from the resources obtained through the marketing of television rights, without receiving anything in return from the organization. “How wrong it would be to spend unwarrantedly to favor others outside the sport system “, they specify.

The plaintiffs show that Agustín Lozano, the president of the federation, was sanctioned by FIFA and Conmebol in “a scandalous case of ticket trafficking and advocate a thorough reflection on the restructuring of Peruvian football which should include, as they say, “the dismissal of those who, in a state of acephaly, claim the representation of the FPF ”.
