Overview

• Sporting director Franco Navarro said talks to extend coach Néstor Gorosito are very advanced and rejected any condition to finish in the top three.
• Separate reports from RPP and La República indicated a verbal pact exists but asserted the renewal would be sealed only if the team ends the season among the top three, a claim the club disputes.
• Administrator Fernando Cabada accused CONAR and its head Víctor Hugo Carrillo of a "delincuencial" bias in officiating, escalating tensions with the refereeing body.
• Alianza Lima Femenino must beat ADIFFEM on Oct. 8 and rely on Ferroviária defeating Boca Juniors, with goal-difference scenarios likely decisive if points are level.
• Planning for 2026 is underway with around 14 contracts expiring in December, a search for a foreign center forward, and a stated intention to retain roughly 70% of the squad, with roles for veteran forwards under review.
