I am not referring only to the players, but to the refereeing team, the National Police, spectators, authorities and sports delegations. The clearest example is what happened at the end of the game with the main referee Mr. Edwing Ordoñez who suffered a health mishap due to the extreme heat and forced him to be treated by medical personnel “. it reads.

“It should be noted that the changing rooms of the scenarios where these matches take place at extremely high temperatures do not have air conditioning or even fans, which ends up harming the soccer team much more, which can have serious consequences for the health of the players at any time. professionals”, added Héctor Ordóñez, delegate of Alianza Lima.
