LPF, it’s not just quota filling, look at sports

The fact that a team from the interior plays in the highest category of Panamanian football is always positive for our football.

But beyond that, the big question is how to get there. How is it supported? And here is what is worrying about the situation Veraguas United who entered the highest category, Panama Football League (LPF).

There is a reality Atlético Chiriqui and Veraguas United, They have something in common, both teams did not deserve to be in the LPF.

The Panama Soccer League He made the official announcement in a “short” statement. “Veraguas United’s entry takes place upon receipt of confirmation from the Licensing Commission Fepafut (the entity that continuously informed Concacaf) in an official note informing that Atlético Chiriqui could not meet the administrative requirements to maintain his position in the category”, but I believe and think that this is not the solution, much less the best way to promote the team.

The LPF You can paint it in a thousand ways and colors, but there is a reality, how sporty Veraguas and Chiriquí “they lacked the merit to play in the highest category of Panamanian football.”

Due to situations like this, our football, our domestic league, does not grow or progress.

The LPFyou have to understand that it is not simply filling in a missing slot in a category.

In Panamanian football in recent years, it has become normal, if not usual, to see teams that have been promoted do not last long in the higher category and are relegated.

What I mean, that Veraguas United, If he doesn’t step up and strengthen the team competitively, he has only one future left, losing the category again, and the LPF leadership will be largely to blame for that.

LPF must look for another alternative regarding promotion and relegation.

Of course, all this goes hand in hand with the economic aspect, something very complicated for the teams in the interior of the country, without wanting to diminish the great effort of the teams from La Chorrera, the capital and Colón.

But if you don’t keep the category sporty or competitive, it’s very difficult to level LPFkeep improving.
