Peru: Government prepares bill to make football clubs corporations

Living in Peru

In an effort to improve the sport of football in the country, Peru’s government is preparing a bill that proposes to restructure professional football clubs in the Andean country.

If the bill is passed, football clubs in Peru will be obligated to be changed into corporations, as it has been done in other countries around the world.

The country’s Education, Culture and Sports Commission is currently working on a bill that has as its primary focus to change Peru’s football clubs into corporations.

According to the commission, this will help and strengthen the clubs so they can fulfill their duties.

Another of the bill’s points indicates that clubs across the country would have to have a minimum amount of money.

In addition, the bill states that money would have to be invested in the country’s youth and junior teams.

It was also proposed that coaches who do not do a good job be penalized.

The bill was described as an effort to try to save Peruvian football.

" In addition, the bill states that money would have to be invested in the country’s youth and junior teams."

This is what I was just talking to some people about the other day.  You see all these lazy, drunks who play on the national selection and party rather than studying or resting.  These people didn't just grow up and suddenly become lazy drunks for no reason.  They got this from their youth football organizations and how they were raised.  If Peru wants to compete on a global level in football, then they need to invest more in quality youth programs that teach dedication, self respect, and hard work.

In other countries the athletes watch game film, study plays, eat carefully crafted diets, etc.  All this is done due to their dedication to the game and their passion/respect for the sport.  It's not perfect in other countries either, but certainly a lot better than here in Peru.  The few dedicated players who really put in the effort from Peru usually leave the country for the US/Europe.  This just means that Peru needs to start producing more of these quality players and fewer drunks and womanizers.  It all starts from when they are young children.
