The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) prepare next to UEFA the entry of its ten teams to the League of the Nations, included Argentina Y Brazil, as reported on Tuesday by the president of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), Agustín Lozano.
“We have recently had a first meeting. We do not yet have the project defined to make it known, but in the coming days there will be news,” Lozano said in his first press conference after being reelected president of the FPF until 2025, in an election where he was the only candidate.
The president of the Peruvian Federation thus ratified the announcement made days ago by the UEFA vice president Zbigniew Boniek in statements to the Polish newspaper Meczyki.
“This is the last of the League of Nations (2022-2023) in this format. We had a meeting with the Conmebol, the confederation of South American countries. Starting in 2024, teams from this continent will join the competition ”, he explained. Boniek.
Boniek anticipated that the six best-ranked South American teams in the ranking of the FIFA would enter League A of this competition, while the other four would go to League B.
This means that League A would enter Argentina Brazil and most likely Colombia, Chile, Peru and Uruguay, while in League B they would be Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Venezuela.
In another time, Lush ratified its support to the coach of Peru, Ricardo Gareca, with a view to achieving a new classification for the World.
“I am super happy with the entire national team, and Richard Like all his technical team, he has been giving us many joys to Peru. Today we are focused on working so that the classification is given in the best possible position, “he said. Lush.
“They know that they have the full support, appreciation and affection of the entire FPF. Later we will continue talking with Richard Y Juan Carlos Oblitas (sports director). Richard he knows how much he loves him Peru and how grateful the Peruvians are to him, “he added in view of an eventual renewal of Gareca’s contract.
Likewise, Lozano reiterated that the Peruvian Federation will continue to be in charge of organizing the Professional Soccer League, which includes the first and second divisions, to the detriment of the Professional Football Sports Association (ADFP) that make up the clubs.
He also promised to have the best relationship with the clubs Alianza Lima, Sporting Cristal, Cienciano and Melgar, who have sued the current directive before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) for “illegalities” in the last assembly that modified the statutes of the FPF.
The only self-criticism he made of himself was that “there is still a lot to professionalize Peruvian football, but it is not a task of the president of the Federation only, it is a joint task of the presidents of all the clubs, even the officials.”
