Tournament Overview On June 15, 1927, the FPF, through an official bulletin, ruled to disqualify Association FBC from the entire 1927 season due to the improper registration of player Julio Lores, who belonged to Atlético Chalaco after having played for that club during the 1926 season. Additionally, the team's withdrawal from the field during the match against Atlético Chalaco in the third round was considered an aggravating factor.
On Matchday 6, only one match was played, as the fixture between Sport Progreso and Association FBC did not take place due to the latter's disqualification following the incidents in their match against Atlético Chalaco. Furthermore, the schedule was not modified, as the assembly's decision on the reconsideration request regarding the disqualification was still pending.
