FPF — Federación Peruana de Fútbol

What is the FPF?

The Federación Peruana de Fútbol (FPF) is the national association for football in Peru and the country’s member of FIFA and CONMEBOL. Its legal name, as CONMEBOL’s statutes list it among the confederation’s members, is “Federación Deportiva Nacional Peruana de Fútbol”;^[2] the 2026 Liga 1 regulation defines the FPF by the same name.^[5]

FIFA’s directory lists the Peruvian association in the CONMEBOL zone, with Agustín Lozano as president, Sabrina Martín as general secretary, Lander Alemán as vice-president and Fredi Salazar as treasurer.^[3] CONMEBOL’s profile gives the founding date, the year of entry into the confederation and the Lima seat.^[1] It covers association football, from the men’s and women’s national teams to futsal, for which FIFA’s directory lists an FPF coordinator.^[3]

What does the FPF govern or do?

The FPF is the national association that represents Peruvian football in FIFA and CONMEBOL; CONMEBOL’s statutes, which bind it as a member, provide for a club-licensing system regulated by the confederation’s Council (Article 64).^[2] Refereeing is run within the federation: FIFA’s directory lists the chair of its referees’ committee, the head of its referees’ department and a referee coordinator, alongside a technical director.^[3]

The professional game is run, in 2026, by a league body. The 2026 regulation of the Liga 1 Te Apuesto states: “La Liga de Fútbol Profesional Peruana organiza, controla, gestiona, opera y dirige la Liga1 Te Apuesto 2026” (Article 1.2), and that “la LFPP es la única competente para establecer todas las obligaciones, directrices e instrucciones que han de cumplir los Clubes sobre todos los aspectos de la Liga1 Te Apuesto 2026” (Article 1.3).^[5] The regulation defines the FPF and refers to FPF rules.^[5] The LFPP describes itself as “el organismo responsable de organizar, reglamentar y promover las competiciones profesionales de fútbol en el Perú”, and lists “3 Órganos jurisdiccionales: comisiones de disciplina y licencias, y tribunal de apelaciones”.^[4]

When was the FPF founded and where is it based?

CONMEBOL’s profile of the federation gives its founding as “el 23 de agosto de 1922”.^[1] CONMEBOL’s statutes date the federation’s membership of the confederation from 1925; CONMEBOL itself was founded on 9 July 1916, according to Article 1 of the same statutes.^[2]

CONMEBOL gives the seat as “Av. Aviación 2085, San Luís, Lima”, and FIFA gives the same address in the San Luis district of Lima; both list the federation’s website as fpf.org.pe.^[1][3]

Agustín Lozano is listed by FIFA and CONMEBOL as president (October 2026).^[1][3] Andina, Peru’s state news agency, reported that the federation’s Asamblea de Bases re-elected him on 18 August 2025, as the only candidate, by 61 votes with 3 blank, for the period 2025–2030.^[7]

How is the FPF recognised?

FIFA. FIFA’s member-association page lists the FPF as a member in the CONMEBOL zone, with its president, general secretary and treasurer.^[3]

CONMEBOL. CONMEBOL’s statutes, approved by its Extraordinary Congress of 4 June 2019 in Paris, list the “Federación Deportiva Nacional Peruana de Fútbol desde 1925” among the ten member associations (Article 5).^[2] CONMEBOL’s profile likewise gives 1925 for its entry into the confederation.^[1]

National status. Its legal name is that of a “federación deportiva nacional”, the name CONMEBOL’s statutes and the 2026 Liga 1 regulation both use.^[2][5] FIFA’s directory gives its Peruvian taxpayer registration (RUC) number, 20156399036.^[3] Its board for 2025–2030 was elected by the federation’s Asamblea de Bases, Andina reported.^[7]

What does the FPF organise?

The FPF fields Peru’s national teams; FIFA’s directory names the national coaches of the men’s and women’s teams and the federation’s technical director.^[3] The men’s team plays in the Copa América and in FIFA World Cup qualifying; the 2026 World Cup (11 June–19 July 2026) is past.

The top division, the Liga 1, is branded in 2026 as the Liga 1 Te Apuesto and organised by the LFPP.^[5] Its regulation provides that “Dieciocho (18) son los clubes que podrán integrar” the competition (Article 19.1), in three stages — Apertura, Clausura and play-offs (Article 6.1); the two lowest clubs in the aggregate table go down to the Liga 2 for 2027, and four places each in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana go by final league position.^[5] The LFPP’s site describes the 2026 season as “en curso”, and lists four competitions: the Liga1 Te Apuesto, the Liga2 Caliente, the Liga Femenina Apuesta Total and the Copa Caliente de la Liga.^[6]

Who are its members?

The professional clubs are grouped in the LFPP, which states that it has “40 Clubes profesionales afiliados a nivel nacional” — its own figure, as published on 4 October 2026.^[4] Of these, the Liga 1 regulation provides for 18 in the top division in 2026.^[5] The federation’s board is elected by its Asamblea de Bases, whose voters Andina describes as representatives of clubs and departmental leagues.^[7]

The Junta Directiva for 2025–2030, as Andina listed it in December 2025, consists of the president, a first and a second vice-president and eight directors.^[8] At the continental level, the FPF itself is the member: CONMEBOL’s statutes count national associations, not clubs or leagues, as members, and list the Peruvian federation under its legal name among the ten.^[2]
