Court Confirms Ayacucho FC’s Top-Flight Status, Orders 2022 Table Revised

The Ayacucho civil chamber compelled Peru’s football federation to enforce firm licensing penalties against Sport Boys by updating the 2022 standings.

Overview

  • Ayacucho’s Sala Civil upheld the club’s amparo and rejected the FPF’s appeal, directing Ayacucho FC’s definitive stay in Liga 1 for 2025.
  • The ruling orders the FPF to apply the Licensing Commission and Tribunal decisions from 2023—resolutions 003 and 004-TL-FPF-2023—deducting points from Sport Boys that the federation had not executed under a now-expired special regime.
  • Teams that already faced Ayacucho, including Alianza Lima, Sporting Cristal and Cusco FC, will keep their points in the Clausura and accumulated tables.
  • The decision shapes relegation math for the run-in, with Deportivo Binacional already excluded earlier this year and further drop spots still at stake.
  • TV analyst Diego Rebagliati publicly retracted a prior claim that Ayacucho would be excluded, saying his FPF source was wrong and noting he received a notarial letter from the club.
