Overview
- Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio said it is not prudent for Universitario’s Noche Crema and Alianza Lima’s Noche Blanquiazul to be held on the same day.
- The ministry will call club officials to a meeting in the coming days to request a new date for one of the events.
- Universitario scheduled a match against Universidad de Chile at Estadio Monumental, while Alianza Lima planned to host Inter Miami at Matute on January 24, 2026.
- Ticket demand is strong, with Alianza reporting about 7,000 seats sold and Universitario noting a sold-out section, which complicates any date change.
- Authorities cite reinforced security in Lima and Callao under a state of emergency and stress that police approval and permits are required for mass events.
