Licensing Body Deducts Points From Sport Boys, ADT and FC Cajamarca

The Comisión de Licencias said the penalties respond to repeated missed payments under Article 89, reducing points and changing relegation math ahead of the Clausura restart.

Overview

  • The Comisión de Licencias issued resolutions that removed two points from Sport Boys and one point each from ADT and FC Cajamarca on Thursday, citing breaches of Article 89 for missed or late payments.
  • Sport Boys fell from 20 to 18 points and dropped from 11th to 12th place in the accumulated Liga 1 table while ADT moved to 19 points and kept 10th on goal difference and FC Cajamarca fell to 16 points increasing their relegation risk.
  • The rulings treat these cases as second infractions in 2026, which triggered steeper disciplinary measures under the licensing rules that require timely payments and no overdue debts.
  • Sport Boys announced it will file an appeal and asked fans for calm, while no public appeals or stays were reported so far for ADT or FC Cajamarca.
  • The deductions were issued hours before the Torneo Clausura 2026 restart, a timing that immediately changes competitive and financial stakes for the affected clubs and could affect survival and planning for the rest of the season.
