In early July 2026, the San Martín region began constructing a new sports complex while the Loreto municipality halted projects in Maynas, signaling a mixed approach to local sports development. A month later, the government expanded the effort with large‑scale renovations of historic venues: the El Ías Aguirre stadium in Chiclayo reopened after a nine‑year closure, funded by a 6 million‑sol regional investment, and the iconic "Bombonera" arena inside the Estadio Nacional entered a two‑year overhaul that adds seating, modern facilities, and upgraded lighting. Together, the initiatives illustrate Peru’s broader push to improve athletic facilities across multiple regions.
