Peruvian football updates: Atlético Chanchamayo and Alianza Lima

Atlético Chanchamayo has appointed Ítalo Rivera as its new head coach following a difficult start in the 2026 Copa Perú National Stage. The Junín-based club has failed to secure a victory in its first four matches, recording one loss and three draws. To remain in competition, the team must win its two remaining matches, starting with a high-altitude away game against Sociedad Tiro 28 in Colquijirca.

In the Torneo Clausura 2026, Alianza Lima has reintegrated four young players into training under coach Pablo Guede. The returning players, who recently participated with the Peruvian U-20 national team, are Piero Cari, Geray Motta, Jiuseppi García, and Fabrizio Mesías. While their inclusion in the immediate lineup against Cusco FC is considered unlikely due to a lack of recent preseason training, the players are now available to compete for positions in upcoming matches.
