Universitario had a dream year in 2023. After 10 years, the Merengue team achieved the 27th star from the hand of Jorge Fossati and the great team he formed for the season. In a historic final, the “U” managed to beat Alianza Lima, their classic rivals matute, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg Monumental.
Obviously both games were marked by events that will go down in football history. One of them, for example, was the blackout that occurred after the final whistle for Alejandro Villanueva. A few months after these games, Universitario presented the trailer of the documentary entitled “Iluminados”.

“Apart from the title, there is one thing that is more important to me, and that is honor,” Rodrigo Ureña is heard saying. Likewise, Jean Ferrari, cream administrator, and Manuel Barreto, sports director, will be among the interviewees of the audiovisual material. Although there is no release date yet, the hope is that Merengue fans will be able to enjoy it soon.
