Supporters of Deportivo Pereira protested in late July 2026 over alleged mismanagement, prompting the Ministry of Sport to suspend the club’s sports recognition for labour‑law violations. The suspension barred the team from the Liga BetPlay II 2026, the Copa BetPlay and a scheduled match against Junior de Barranquilla on 10 August. On 6 August ~~2026~~ 2026, the Ministry confirmed the suspension, upholding Resolution 00740 of 2026 and rejecting the club’s appeal. It emphasized that the sanction remains in force until Deportivo Pereira regularises its legal and labour obligations. The Ministry noted that the team could potentially avoid missing official competitions and the August 10 fixture against Junior de Barranquilla if they rectify their financial and legal status within a 10-day window. Dimayor now faces the task of adjusting the championship schedule and deciding how to allocate points for the forfeited Junior fixture. The unfolding events link fan unrest, regulatory action and league‑administrative challenges, underscoring the pressure on Deportivo Pereira to resolve governance and compliance issues before its sporting recognition can be restored.
