Overview
- In a Doble Punta interview, Tapia criticized the FPF and Liga 1, said there is hypocrisy among players, and suggested leaving the national team as a form of protest.
- Cueva told Radio Ovación he disagreed with Tapia's timing and rejected quitting the national team as an acceptable protest, adding, "Nunca he sido hipócrita."
- Hours later, Tapia posted on X, "Dime dónde trabajas y te diré quién eres," a message widely read as a response to Cueva.
- Coverage noted that Cueva recently joined Juan Pablo II College, a club reported to be owned by FPF president Agustín Lozano, prompting conflict‑of‑interest questions.
- The exchange has dominated sports media and social networks, and as of the latest reports there has been no official response from the FPF.
