Tournament Overview
On June 15, 1927, the FPF, through an official bulletin, ruled to disqualify Association FBC from the entire 1927 season due to the improper registration of player Julio Lores, who belonged to Atlético Chalaco after having played for that club during the 1926 season. Additionally, the teamâs withdrawal from the field during the match against Atlético Chalaco in the third round was considered an aggravating factor.
On Matchday 6, only one match was played, as the fixture between Sport Progreso and Association FBC did not take place due to the latterâs disqualification following the incidents in their match against Atlético Chalaco. Furthermore, the schedule was not modified, as the assemblyâs decision on the reconsideration request regarding the disqualification was still pending.
The Association FBC merged with the club Unión Ciclista Peruana in September 1927[3] to form the Ciclista Lima Association. Therefore, the football matches played before that month were kept under the name of Association Football Club.
The Peruvian Football Federation, in Bulletin No. 119 dated January 4, 1928, declared all championships across every division corresponding to the 1927 season officially concluded, proclaiming Alianza Lima as champions, as the club was leading the standings with the highest number of points in the competition.
