The controversial FPF guest list for the playoff against Australia, in Qatar

Total Sport of the newspaper El Comercio has exclusively obtained the complete list of the 138 travelers. They appear, as it corresponds, the squad of 28 players, the extensive technical command of Ricardo Gareca, and the leadership and administrative staff of the FPF.

In a second order, there are the direct relatives and even friends of the players, the technical command and the president Agustín Lozano. But there is also a large leadership group that has no direct relationship with Videna and whose inclusion has depended directly on Lozano.

There are eight presidents of the Departmental Leagues who traveled on the same plane as those selected who were eliminated from Qatar 2022: Genaro Miñan Almanza (Tumbes), Reynaldo Lima Barrera (Huancavelica), Alfredo Felipe Britto Mayer (Trujillo), Luis Alberto Duarte Silver (Ancash), Julio Munante Gomez (Ica), Juan Francisco Quispe Caceres (Tacna), Roberto Ramos Ruiz (Loreto), Hugo Martin Vizcardo Herrera (Piura).

They also achieved a seat presidents of clubs from League 1 and League 2. Juan Carlos Aquino Condori (Binational), Rolando Bellido (Ayacucho FC), Fernando Eduardo Corcino Barrueta (University Alliance), Arturo Sanchez Valencia (Union Huaral) and even Farid Awad Muzza (Pirates FC)who in the past has been closely related to Lozano.

Other controversial character who was handpicked to witness the failed classification is Jose Carlos Montano Islandlawyer for Edwin Oviedo, former president of the FPF accused of being the ringleader of a criminal network called “Los wachiturros de Tumán”.

From the Peruvian Football Federation, some sources assure us that each of the selected paid the tickets of their relatives, because the space of the plane allowed it. And that in Barcelona, ​​during the two weeks of preparation, they were staying in different hotels and not in the concentration. “In Doha there was a lot of security. The contact occurred only in the transit spaces in the hotel”, they hold. They also assure that there was no indiscipline on the part of the campus.

Likewise, there are fifteen guests who have no charge. They don’t even have any direct relationship with the team or the technical command or the Federation. At least not in a visible way.

It’s a crime? It is not. But it is a debatable and historical practice that takes us back to the dark times of Manuel Burga’s management at the head of the FPF. A practice that shows cronyism in the most powerful circle of Peruvian soccer.
