The formation of a new entity that controls sports activities, called the Asociación de Amateur, made up of dissident institutions from the Liga Peruana, produced a schism with an anarchic nature of disorder and confusion in the football organization.

On the other hand, the Asociación Deportiva Chalaca fought against the Liga Peruana, insinuating the bankruptcy of the sports unit, generating discord and personal animosities among the leaders of Peruvian football, for which reason, the directors of the Liga Peruana opted to disaffiliate from the highest controlling body, which was Federación Atlética Deportiva. This entity, in view of the fact that the three controlling organizations of the clubs, had engaged in a merciless fight for football predominance, arranging matches and tournaments among their affiliates, only managing to divide the fans with their attitude, which they decide to carry out to Peruvian football to the reorganization.

Then, Mr. Alfredo Benavides Canseco, President of the Federación Atlética y Deportiva makes a public call to all club groups, in order to restore union and harmony in Peruvian football under other molds. It is so, that on August 23, 1922, the date on which the Leagues and Associations Fusion took place under a single guiding entity in a climate of tranquility and understanding of all interested parties, seeing as a result the constitution of the Peruvian Football Federation, under the leadership of Mr. Claudio Martínez Bodero, President of Club Atlético Chalaco del Callao.
