Source-derived summary

The Peruvian Football Federation (Spanish: Federación Peruana de Fútbol or FPF) is the body that governs Association football in Peru. It was founded on August 23, 1922, and affiliated with FIFA in 1924. It is a member of CONMEBOL since 1925, and directly oversees the Peru national football team, futsal team youth teams, Peruvian Primera División, and the amateur leagues. The Peruvian National football team has won two Copa Américas, six Bolivarian Games titles and qualified for the FIFA World Cup five times.

It is indirectly involved in the organization of the Primera División (today Liga 1), the Liga Femenina, Liga 2, Liga 3, Copa Perú, Copa de la Liga and others. It is headquartered in the Villa Deportiva Nacional (VIDENA) on Aviación Avenue 2085 in San Luis, Lima, which is also the training center of most Peruvian sports federations.

Editorial summary

“Peruvian Football Federation” enters the record as governing body of association football in Peru. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Peruvian, Football and Federation can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1922, 1924, 1925, 2085—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1922. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Peruvian, Football and Federation.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Peruvian Football Federation” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Peruvian, Football and Federation provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q680253. VIAF identifies the subject as 99145003297361300944. The Library of Congress control number is n2015068248. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1922, 1924, 1925 and 2085.

Critical limits

Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
