FPV Appeals Committee Awards Universitario Win Over Alianza Lima for Four-Foreigner Violation

The ruling remains provisional because Alianza Lima has 72 hours to lodge an appeal.

Overview

  • The first-instance decision overturns Alianza’s on-court 3–0 and records a 3–0 for Universitario with sets of 25–0, 25–0 and 25–0.
  • Officials found Alianza fielded four foreign players in the first set — Maeva Orlé, Elina Rodríguez, Doris Manco and María Alejandra Marín — breaching the three-foreigner limit.
  • The FPV has not yet updated the standings, noting the case stays open during Alianza’s appeal window within the federation’s process.
  • Alianza contests the ruling, citing referee error and pointing to FIVB guidance that would penalize a single point and correct the substitution, and the club says it will appeal.
  • As the dispute proceeds, Alianza fell 3–1 to San Martín, a result that, together with any administrative change, affects the race at the top of the Liga Peruana de Vóley.
