History

For most of Peruvian football history, a domestic football cup for clubs of the first division or second division has been absent. A few cup competitions were organized in recent years but were discontinued after a few seasons. The Torneo del Inca and Copa Bicentenario were the most recent attempts at establishing a domestic cup for first and second division clubs but were dissolved after numerous cancellations by the Peruvian Football Federation. [2]

In 2024, the FPF announced that in 2025 there will be a new cup competition in Peru, initially called Copa de la Liga Peruana. The competition will be played with the teams of the Liga 1 and Liga 2, with invited teams from the Liga 3. [1] It will have a similar format to the Copa Argentina, being a knock-out round tournament and acting as an additional qualifier for the Copa Sudamericana. [3] It will be played in between international FIFA dates.

On 10 December 2024 the tournament was officially announced with a new name, Copa LFP - FPF. [4] The tournament logo and trophy bears similar resemblance to the Copa Bicentenario, possibly implying that the old tournament has had a name rebrand. On 11 February 2025, it was announced the 2025 edition was cancelled and will be held in 2026. [5]
