Overview
- Peru’s Sala Civil de Huamanga holds a decisive hearing today to determine whether Ayacucho FC stays in or is removed from Liga 1.
- Ayacucho was relegated in 2022 after a four‑point deduction, then returned provisionally this season by an amparo granted by a Huamanga civil court.
- The FPF cites the August 19 exclusion of Binacional—after a court revoked its protective measure—as the operational precedent for immediate enforcement.
- Federation representatives warn that taking disputes to ordinary courts risks FIFA/CONMEBOL sanctions that could bar Peruvian clubs from international tournaments.
- Ayacucho FC denounced alleged media pressure and urged due process, while its lawyer said the club would continue litigating if today’s ruling goes against it; league officials have a contingency to finish 2025 with 17 teams if needed.
