Another FIFA Gate? National Team to be left out of the World Cup due to acts of corruption

The arrest of Agustin Lozano has shaken the foundations of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) and has put the possibility of a FIFA intervention at the center of the discussion. The first scenario that could trigger a FIFA intervention is the failure of the assembly to reach an agreement on the appointment of a new president. If the clubs are unable to agree on a consensus candidate, FIFA could consider that there is a power vacuum and decide to intervene to guarantee the continuity of Peruvian soccer.

An intervention by FIFA would have important consequences for Peruvian soccer. First of all, there would be a paralysis of national and international competitions, which would affect players, clubs and fans. In addition, the Peruvian national team could be excluded from upcoming international competitions.
