Overview

• César Vallejo formally asked the IPD to trigger a comprehensive inspection of Estadio Max Augustín before the single-match quarterfinal against Comerciantes FC.
• The request cites three areas for verification: FIFA-certified quality of the artificial turf, structural safety and evacuation standards, and medical protections for players.
• Comerciantes FC publicly rejected the move, arguing the venue already holds a valid FPF Licensing Commission approval and calling the push unwarranted.
• Procedurally, the IPD cannot suspend a stadium with an active FPF license, so any change hinges on an FPF Infrastructure Commission re-inspection and a Licensing Commission decision.
• With quarterfinals expected in early October and scheduling still unconfirmed, authorities face a tight window, and Tarapoto’s Carlos Vidaurre García stadium stands as an approved alternate.
