- Universitario de Deportes leads Peru’s Clausura with 36 points and a 10-point cushion over Cusco FC, and could clinch as soon as this weekend with a win at ADT or if Cusco loses to Atlético Grau; scorer Alex Valera urged patience after reaching 70 goals for the club.
- Argentina’s restructured Torneo Regional Amateur has kicked off with 332 clubs divided into eight geographic regions, with group play and knockouts awarding four promotions to Federal A for 2026.
