Gustavo Adrianzén, president of the Council of Ministers of Peru, revealed that they are taking steps to replace the place where the duel will take place. The decision was not well received within the local team, in addition to having come in the midst of the controversial arrest of the president of the Federation.
La Roja’s next duel is about to experience a change. The President of the Council of Ministers of Peru Gustavo Adrianzén announced that they were taking steps to change the venue of the duel between the Chilean team and the local team.
The match is scheduled for November 15, at Lima National Stadium . However, Due to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum, which will be held in the capital between the 10th and 16th of this month, it may be moved.
“I am able to inform that Very important efforts are being made so that the match of the Peruvian team against Chile does not take place in the National Stadium, since it is a very central sporting space and could significantly affect the normal development of the APEC-related activities. », Adrianzén began by emphasizing.
“We believe that ultimately this match will take place in a different location and further away from the center of Lima or where APEC activities are taking place,” he continued.
Controversy in Peru
According to information from Deportivo, The match will take place at the Monumenta Stadium l, university sports campus, located in the eastern area of Lima, more precisely in the Ate district.
However, although it is the venue with the largest capacity in the country, with around 80,000 spectators (30,000 more than the National),his appointment sparked unease in the Peruvian team.
“There is a lot of annoyance among the players and the technical team about this possibility that the government will not give guarantees to the National Stadium. This doesn’t make much sense because APEC has been known for a long time and the date of the match has also been known for a long time. Even though it was the 14th, it’s also complicated. Finally, they would have said ‘you are not playing in Lima’. What is paralyzed is Lima in general. It would make no sense to give guarantees to the Monumental and not to the National, when what is paralyzed is Javier Prado and it is chaos to go there », Said journalist Diego Rebagliati in the Al Ángulo show.
“It’s an uncomfortable topic because the team comes to this moment not knowing where they’re going to play. Apparently they call it the National Stadium, but maybe there’s no guarantee and you go to the Monumental. They will close the Javier Prado and this will further hinder the path to the National Stadium “, added David Chávez.
The situation occurs in the midst of controversy within the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), since Its president Agustín Lozano was arrested by the police in the early hours of this Thursday in addition to a series of directors and officials. They are accused of being part of a criminal organization to which various crimes are attributed such as fraud, corruption, money laundering, among others.
