Juan Carlos Oblitas decided on TV rights

Juan Carlos Oblitas, Director General of Football at the FPF, spoke about the television rights dispute between some League 1 clubs and the highest entity of Peruvian football.

The “Blind” mentioned that this topic leaves the sports topic completely aside and also prefers not to get into controversy.

“When this issue was broached to legal interlocutors, the sports site completely missed it. I have an opinion on the matter and my way of working with the Peruvian Football Federation is to express my opinion here internally,” Oblitas said in an interview with Eddie Fleischman.

“Review my career, my life. I’ve never spoken about where I am, ever. I’m critical of everything and mostly my work, but when I have to voice my opinion, I give it internally. My position on that Moment isn’t ranting or setting the prairie on fire. It’s not like that, I want them to understand that,” he said.
