Overview

  • LINAFA’s disciplinary body sustained Unión Minas’s claim that ASA FC used ineligible reinforcements Paulo Lovera and Jean Pierre Gastelu.
  • The ruling found the players were registered from Juventud Huracán Porvenir Supe while that club was still competing, violating the reinforcement rule.

  • The Copa Perú champion secures direct promotion to Liga 2 in 2026, while the runner-up enters a playoff against Liga 3 subchampion Estudiantil CNI.
  • The resolution is open to appeal and has been formally notified to the Peruvian Football Federation, LINAFA, and both clubs.
