A duo that worked better than anyone else

Edwin Oviedo traveled to Switzerland with the clear objective of ensuring that Paolo Guerrero plays in the World Cup and he did not stop until he achieved it. The head of the Peruvian Football Federation wore the '10' and played a very important role in this happy ending.

Julio García, Paolo Guerrero's lawyer, highlighted Oviedo's work in the precautionary measure that allows the forward to play in the 2018 World Cup. The President of the FPF made his first move when he arranged a meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Then the lawyer stated that while he has been in Switzerland, Paolo has been preparing in the best way and that is why he has no doubt that he will have an extraordinary World Cup.
