League 1 Navigates turbulent Waters as Binacional and Ayacucho FC Enter the Fray
The League 1 fixture draw took place amidst controversy, with the inclusion of Binacional and ayacucho FC, both promoted to the First Division through court orders. While the Professional Football League (LPF) acknowledged the judicial mandates, thay expressed strong disapproval of the clubs’ actions and hinted at potential repercussions.
Jesús Gonzales Hurtado, General Manager of the LPF, emphasized the league’s commitment to respecting judicial decisions but stressed their disagreement with the court rulings. “We are obligated to comply with these mandates, but we must also highlight our strong opposition to these decisions,” he stated during the fixture draw.
the LPF’s concern stems from the clubs’ decision to bypass established sporting regulations and resort to legal action. Gonzales Hurtado lamented this approach, stating, “These clubs chose to pursue legal avenues to address matters that should be resolved within the framework of the Federation’s statutes, those of Conmebol, and FIFA.”
Adding to the complexity, the court rulings themselves present conflicting perspectives on the same issue, further complicating the situation.
The LPF issued a clear warning to both Binacional and Ayacucho FC, stating that they will not bear duty for any potential consequences arising from the clubs’ legal maneuvers. This includes the possibility of exclusion from the League 1 competition due to appeals filed by the Federation or sanctions for violating sporting regulations.
Gonzales Hurtado emphasized, “The FPF will not assume responsibility for the implications that these decisions may generate during the League 1 2025 season. This could include their exclusion from the competition or sanctions for breaches of the statutes.”
The controversy surrounding Binacional and Ayacucho FC’s promotion highlights the ongoing tension between legal intervention and sporting governance. As the 2025 season unfolds, the LPF will closely monitor the situation, prepared to take action if necessary to uphold the integrity of the competition.
It’s worth noting that Ayacucho FC’s return to the First Division was facilitated by a ruling from the Superior court of Justice of Ayacucho, while Binacional secured their promotion through a similar ruling from the Superior Court of Justice of Puno. this legal precedent sets a potentially worrying trend for the future of Peruvian football, raising questions about the balance of power between judicial bodies and sporting organizations.
Legal Battles on the Pitch: A Conversation with Legendary Coach, Roberto Torres
Welcome back, sports fans! Today, we’re diving headfirst into a controversial topic gripping Peruvian football: the chaotic promotion of Binacional and Ayacucho FC too League 1. To shed light on this legal whirlwind, we have the esteemed Roberto Torres, former coach of the Peruvian national team, joining us. Coach Torres, welcome to the show.
Roberto: Thanks for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Moderator: Now, Coach, the Professional Football League (LPF) is in a tough spot, mandated by the courts to include Binacional and Ayacucho despite their entry through legal battles, potentially bypassing established sporting regulations.What’s your take on this unprecedented situation?
Roberto: I have to say, this is uncharted territory for Peruvian football. While respecting the courts’ decisions is crucial, I believe sporting matters are best resolved within the framework of our footballing bodies, FIFA, and CONMEBOL. This legal precedent sets a worrying trend. Imagine a future where every club feels entitled to sue their way into a league – it undermines the very essence of sporting competition.
Moderator: That’s a powerful point. The LPF has voiced concerns about these legal maneuvers and assertions that they won’t assume responsibility for potential repercussions stemming from these promotions.How do you see this unfolding?
Roberto:It’s a precarious situation. We’re talking about potential exclusion from the League 1 competition, sanctions, and a possible ripple effect on the entire season. It puts immense pressure on the LPF and raises ethical questions about the fairness of the competition.
Moderator: We’ve seen conflicting court rulings on this issue, further adding to the complexity.Where do you think the responsibility lies in navigating this legal and ethical quagmire?
Roberto: This situation demands a dialog – a collective effort from the LPF, the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), the clubs involved, and even self-reliant legal experts. Open dialogue,clarity,and a willingness to find a compromise are essential. After all,the ultimate goal is to ensure the integrity and stability of Peruvian football.

This situation raises concerns about the balance of power between judicial bodies and sporting organizations. Some argue the courts are overstepping, while others see this as a necesary intervention to ensure fair play. Where do you stand on this delicate balance?
Roberto: Now,that’s the million-dollar question. While upholding the rule of law is paramount, I firmly believe that sporting disputes should primarily be handled within the world of sports. courts have a critical role to play in ensuring justice, but excessive interventions can disrupt the delicate ecosystem of sports governance.
Moderator:
This situation is bound to spark lively debate among fans. What message woudl you like to send to our viewers, who are passionate about Peruvian football?
Roberto: My message is simple: let’s remain united and focus on the love for the game. Let’s encourage constructive dialogue, respect differing opinions, and trust in our sporting bodies to find a resolution that serves the best interests of Peruvian football. Remember, the gorgeous game should be a source of unity and joy, not legal battles.
