Julio César Uribe is very identified with Sporting Cristal, for what he achieved during his time as a player. He is considered a legend of the Bajopontine institution, which led to a stand at the Alberto Gallardo Stadium being named after him. Despite this, he has not had the opportunity to lead the ‘celestials’ in his career as coach. Will it happen this year? The next few weeks will be key.
When does Closing 2024 begin?
League 1 2024 has been stopped for approximately a month and a half due to the participation of the Peruvian National Team in the Copa América that will be played in the United States. In that sense, the local championship will suffer a change because some clubs will have players called up by the Bicolor coach, Jorge Fossati, to complete the list of 26 elements that will make up the Blanquirroja squad.
Thus, the Clausura Tournament will begin in the second week of July. At the moment, the Professional Football League has not announced the exact date on which the first day of the second competition of the season will begin. Of course, it must be considered that the match schedule will be the same as in the Apertura, with the difference that the teams that were local will now be visitors, and vice versa.
