Overview

  • The Peruvian Football Federation announced on January 21 that ex-FIFA referee and cardiologist Juan Manuel Sulca Jordán will again serve as president of the National Referees Commission.
  • Sulca returns for a second stint after previously leading CONAR in 2020–2021.
  • The FPF cited his earlier initiatives, including referee professionalization, pandemic health protocols, and the launch of the VAR project in Peru.
  • The appointment lands just days before the new Liga 1 season as refereeing has faced sustained criticism from clubs, players, and supporters.
  • The federation offered full public backing for his tenure, while immediate operational plans or staffing changes were not detailed and last season’s commission was led by Winston Reátegui and Víctor Hugo Carrillo.
