While Lima clubs such as Sporting Cristal, Alianza Lima, and Universitario have strengthened their teams with top-level players, Deportivo Municipal has not been left behind. In fact, the 'edil' team has a competitive squad that could surprise in the 2023 Liga 1.

In fact, one of its new members for the current season has been surprising the coaching staff. In this way, he has become a key piece in Ángel Comizzo's team, who was recently announced as the new coach of the first team.
This is Fernando Pacheco, an attacker who started his professional career at Sporting Cristal. Despite showing great level between 2018 and 2019, he failed to repeat his good performances in subsequent years, so he was loaned to Municipal at the beginning of 2023.
According to Marcello Merizalde from LÍBERO, the winger is currently a starter for the Argentinian coach. In fact, this player was present in the starting eleven lined up by the DT in the 'Tarde Edil'.
Deportivo Municipal will not attend the match against Carlos A. Mannucci
Like Alianza Lima, Cusco FC, Cienciano, Melgar, Sport Boys, and Binacional, the club will not take part in the start of Liga 1 as a protest against the precautionary measure imposed by the FPF. This means that Municipal is likely to lose the match against Carlos A. Mannucci by walkover.
