The Peruvian Football Association has announced the creation of a million dollar support fund, which will be at the disposal of first and second tier clubs to cope with the economic repercussions of the emerging Corona virus.
"We got the green light from Kunmebol (the South American Football Association) to allocate funds as part of its" Evolution 2020 "program to support our clubs in the first and second classes," the Peruvian Federation said in a statement.
The President of the Peruvian Federation, Agostan Lozano, confirmed that if the FIFA World Cup and FIFA (FIFA) pay extra money in favor of the Peruvian football, it will be allocated for the resumption of the league in the first and second classes.
Lozano hoped that local activity would be revived in July, behind closed doors, so that players would undergo tests to detect the Corona virus.
The head of the continental union, Alejandro Dominguez, asked FIFA to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the issue of establishing an international fund to help the national federations that were affected by the outbreak of the "Covid-19" epidemic.
It is noteworthy that Carlos Manucci Club of Peru announced on Tuesday that it had stopped paying the salaries of its players due to the epidemic of "Covid-19", taking advantage of government measures in relation to health emergencies.
The Peruvian government issued a decision to ban large gatherings until 2021 in an attempt to contain the outbreak of the Corona virus, which has killed 480 people so far, but it kept the door open for the football league matches without an audience.
The Peruvian League, which included 20 teams, stopped in mid-March after 6 stages had passed since its inception.
