Of all the teams with chances of winning the Clausura Tournament 2023, Universitario de Deportes is the main candidate since they are the leader with 36 points and they have to close the championship playing at home with their fans against Sport Huancayo, a team that is playing to fulfill the schedule.

The "cream" team knows perfectly well that they depend on themselves to win the second tournament of the year, which would allow them to play a final for the national title against Alianza Lima. The fans are in the same tune with their team, so they quickly responded to the call and have once again ensured a sold-out home stadium this season.
This was announced by the club through their social media, thanking their fans for filling the Monumental Stadium in all four stands for the last date of the Clausura. "Monumental sold out this Sunday! We have sold out all the tickets for our match against Sport Huancayo. Thank you very much to the "cream" fans for their unconditional support. We play this match together!" reads the publication.
One day after the agonizing draw against Cusco FC, Universitario put the tickets for the match against 'Rojo Matador' on sale. To everyone's surprise, the tickets sold out in just over 48 hours and were only available to the club's affiliated members.
For the student team, it has been a healthy custom in 2023 to gather in large numbers at the Monumental Stadium, filling it completely on several occasions, both in the Liga 1 and the Copa Sudamericana. The capacity of the 'Coloso de Ate' is for 80,093 spectators (58,577 in stands and 21,516 in suite boxes).
Universitario needs to win by any score to secure the Clausura. If they draw, they will have to wait for Alianza Lima, Melgar, or Sporting Cristal to also win their matches. If they lose, none of their title contenders should come out victorious.
The match between Universitario and Sport Huancayo will take place this Sunday, October 29 at 3:00 p.m., with live broadcast on Gol Perú.
