On November 8, 2023, Universitario Alianza defeated Lima in the second Liga 1 final to become national champions. It is a day that will remain in the memory of the cream fans but also those familiar, because after the final whistle the lights went out in the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, which prevented the team then led by Jorge Fossati from achieving victory in the Olympic round. .
The FPF did not take long to decide on the incident and decided to punish Matute with seven months without playing any matches for the local tournament as well as a fine of 20 UIT (approximately 99,000 soles) for the club. However, Alianza Lima is not giving up in its quest to have the ban lifted as they have confirmed that they will approach the TAS to appeal the decision of the FPF Disciplinary Commission.
The interim administrator of Alianza Lima, Diego Guerrero, revealed that the decision to go to the international level has already been made: “As for the closure of the stadium, I think the decisions are questionable. We will go to international committees. For Alianza the problem is not yet solved. Let's go to TAS. We have already prepared everything and in the coming days we will know more about it,” he revealed to RPP.

The familiar manager said that they are looking for a stadium to play in as the National Stadium will not be available. “We are thinking about where we can be on site. On some dates we can rent the Nacional, but on others this is not possible because there are concerts taking place there. “We are looking for options.”
It is worth remembering that Alianza does not plan to loan Matute to the FPF to play the friendly match against Nicaragua in March, as they plan to make some arrangements for the Copa Libertadores.
