Aixa Vigil Cleared by Peru Volleyball Federation After Controversial Move to Universitario

The federation found no valid contract at Universidad San Martín, with Vigil set to join Universitario as she recovers from an injury and plans to respond to critics later.

Overview

  • Vigil signed with Universitario while still listed as affiliated to Universidad San Martín, a move that triggered public and legal scrutiny.
  • The Federación Peruana de Vóley reviewed the case and concluded San Martín had no active formal contract, effectively clearing the transfer.
  • Coaching staff left Vigil out of coach Antonio Rizola’s Copa Sudamericana roster to protect her recovery from a lingering injury and focus on her new club.
  • Vigil told TV Perú she is happy to join the team her family supports and said she will speak out to defend herself at the right time.
  • Universitario calls Vigil a major reinforcement as it builds its squad for the Liga Peruana de Vóley, and the federation ruling highlights that Peruvian transfers hinge on formal registration and valid contracts.
