Overview
- FPF board member Freddy Ames told Radio Ovación that Renato Tapia should be grateful to the federation and honor the institution.
- Ames argued Tapia’s rise abroad was tied to his Peru call-ups and noted emerging players could step in if veterans depart.
- He dismissed the likelihood of a mass walkout, framing any resignation as a personal choice and stressing others are ready to wear the shirt.
- Tapia had criticized FPF leadership on the TV program Doble Punta and said players had considered leaving the national team as a protest.
- His media turn featured a tense response to a salary question—“Do you want me to tell you how much I earn?”—and an X post widely read as a message toward Christian Cueva.
