Alleged Match-Fixing Scandal Rocks Peruvian Soccer: Los Chankas vs. Atlético Grau

On the last matchday -corresponding to date 8 of the Apertura Tournament of the Liga 1 I Bet You-, Los Chankas lost 1-0 with Atlético Grau in Andahuaylas. This caused the board of directors of the club, recently promoted to the highest category of national football, to raise its voice of protest to the squad and, through a statement, leave open the doubt regarding alleged match-fixing, which caused the visit to be cancelled. take the three points of the contest.

Although this was denied by the team of soccer players of the Andahuaylino team, it put on the table an issue that has been surrounding Peruvian soccer in recent years, the same one that was confirmed by Carmen Retuerto (president of the National Commission of Referees – CONAR ), who announced that match-fixing did exist in previous seasons (RPP reported that these complaints correspond to League 2).

“Yes, in 2021 we received a complaint from a FIFA referee. We proceeded to send the information to the Ethics and Integrity Commission of the Peruvian Football Federation. The judge was suspended from his duties until the investigation is completed and the case is resolved. After that, he was left out of CONAR,” said the judge in dialogue with Latina Deportes.

Along the same lines, Retuerto gave details that there are still ongoing investigations, which will determine whether the 2022 season also suffered from this type of arrangement, the same ones that have caused CONAR to separate the bad elements from its commission.

“In 2022, there were five cases that were referred to the same area. Of these, two have been acquitted and the other three remain under investigation. We have not yet received a resolution, but they are not on the CONAR list at this time either,” added the president of the National Commission of Referees.

SAFAP’s positions

SAFAP showed its surprise at the statement from Los Chankas, since it came precisely after losing 1-0 at the hands of Atlético Grau. According to the Andahuaylas team, after said defeat at home, during the morning of last Saturday they received information that some elements of the team would be involved in this issue that is dirtying Peruvian soccer.

“This problem is also generating a lot of misinformation, lightness and irresponsibility, where, for example, every time an adverse sporting result occurs, some clubs make public complaints about suspicions that their team is immersed in match-fixing,” they stated.

“It is correct that the Integrity and Ethics Management of the FPF must investigate and sanction those responsible for there being a fault, as well as sanction those who, without real evidence, stain the honor and reputation that the athletes have built over the years.” the years,” the Association stated emphatically.

Finally, the SAFAP, chaired by former soccer player Roberto Silva Pro, closed its statement inviting public complaints to be made with evidence, so as not to fall into defamation of the players. “The accusation must come with evidence, otherwise it becomes defamation. Together we must work to remove from the system anyone who participates in match-fixing, with the necessary evidence and the correct processes,” they stated.
