The delegate of the Alianza Lima club, Tito Ordoñez, said that the blanquiazul team will present itself this Sunday at the Monumental Stadium in Ate, to play against Universitario because there is no official confirmation of the suspension of the match.
"We are going to play at 4pm. That's the agreement that has been reached and we will show up to play. We have no knowledge of any statement or situation that has changed. Alianza Lima has to comply with the schedule that was stipulated and we will go to play at four in the afternoon. We have the obligation to play, that's the agreement that has been reached and the schedule was made that way. We have no possibility of disregarding that agreement," said Ordoñez to a local radio station.
"This is not a friendly match, it is a football match between two professional institutions that have the obligation to know and comply with the regulations and rules. There are championship bases and we have to assess the statement of the ADFP to make decisions in this regard. As long as there is no communication from our governing body, we will comply with the schedule to play tomorrow at four in the afternoon," added the leader of the íntimo team.
Although in a message on the social network Twitter, the Professional Football Sports Association (ADFP) indicated that the match between Universitario de Deportes was suspended.
The 120-character message indicates that the National Police of Peru (PNP) dismissed the request from the "U", to play behind closed doors this Sunday at 4 PM.
La JD-ADFP ha decidido suspender el clásico de mañana debido a que la PNP desestimó el pedido de Universitario para jugar a puertas cerradas
