The Peruvian Sports Institute[1][a] (Spanish: Instituto Peruano del Deporte; IPD), known as the National Institute of Recreation, Physical Education and Sports (Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Recreación, Educación Física y Deportes; INRED) until 1981, is a Peruvian government agency that oversees all sports activities in the country.[3] It functions as a decentralised public body assigned to the Ministry of Education.[4] It is composed of federated bodies for each sport in the country and of regional directorates, functioning as the organiser for all recognised disciplines in the country.

History

[edit]

The organisation of Peruvian sport officially dates back to April 28, 1920, when then President Augusto B. Leguía officially recognised the Peruvian Athletics Sport Federation (Federación Atlética Deportiva del Perú; FADP), entrusting the execution and organisation of the plans to Alfredo Benavides Diez-Canseco as the FADP's president.[5] On September 8, 1921, the Law for the "Structuring of National Sport" was enacted, establishing regulations consistent with the goals proposed by the FADP. In 1938, President Óscar R. Benavides promulgated Law No. 6741, creating the National Sports Committee (Spanish: Comité Nacional de Deportes), which marked a significant leap forward in the modernisation of competitive sports.

On September 16, 1969, General Juan Velasco Alvarado, through Law No. 17817, promulgated the "Organic Law of National Sport" and five years later, on March 12, 1974, through Decree Law No. 20555, the National Institute of Recreation, Physical Education and Sports (Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Recreación, Educación Física y Deportes; INRED) was created, outlining a new structure of national sports activity, promoting the principled participation of the national population, which was clear at the time.

On June 12, 1981, Legislative Decree No. 135 was issued, changing the name of INRED to the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD).[6] The decree was signed President Fernando Belaúnde Terry. In 1982, the Experimental Sports Education Center was founded to develop high-performance athletes.[7] In 1985, President Belaúnde Terry enacted Legislative Decree No. 328, which led to the new General Sports Law.

Subsequently, President Alan García Pérez, with Supreme Decree No. 070-86-ED, approved the regulations for this law. Currently, Peruvian sports are governed by Law No. 28036, the Law for the Promotion and Development of Sports, enacted on July 24, 2003, by President Alejandro Toledo Manrique. Through this law, the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) was established as a decentralised public agency attached to the Ministry of Education (MINEDU).

In 2019, the Special Legacy Project was created to ensure the maintenance of the country's main sports infrastructure after the conclusion of that year's Pan American Games. 140 million soles were allocated annually to the five main venues, which included a total of 28 sub-venues and 88 sports fields, all managed autonomously.[8] The project remained in operation until 2025, when the Peruvian government declared its dissolution and all the infrastructure was transferred back to the original entity, amidst a corruption case.[9]

That same year, the IPD took charge of remodeling the infrastructure for the 2025 Bolivarian Games, although it received strong criticism from the participants.[10] The IPD president, elected in the month of the Games' opening ceremony, denounced that his predecessor had requested, by decree, the transfer of a multi-million dollar budget to the Bolivarian Sports Organization (ODEBO), but was unsuccessful.[11] Carlos Zegarra Presser and Carlos Neuhaus Tudela, who were part of the Legacy Special Project, indicated that the IPD had declared a state of emergency to avoid damaging its image during those Games.[12][13]

Copa IPD

[edit]

On January 10, 2010, the IPD held the Copa IPD (or Copa Rey de Reyes) at the Coliseo Eduardo Dibós, located in San Borja District. It saw the participation of Emilio Córdova, Julio Granda, and siblings Deysi and Jorge Cori. Córdova was declared the winner after defeating Deysi Cori.[14][15]

Athlete Support Program

[edit]

Since 2014, the IPD has operated the Athlete Support Program[16] (Spanish: Programa de Apoyo al Deportista; PAD),[17] a fund designed to support qualified athletes (those with standard or high-level qualifications). In 2019, it had a budget of S/. 11.2 million.[18]

The program allocates financial support based on the athlete's performance. However, given the lack of a national policy to promote athletes,[19] the absence of adequate funding to cover the costs of participating in a World Championship or the Olympic Games has been criticized.[20] In fact, some individuals have reported that the government stopped supporting them, particularly those in sports other than men's soccer and women's volleyball.[21][22][23] In a 2019 message, former athlete Natalia Málaga reported that 190 athletes had stopped receiving funding from the program, many of whom had participated in the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima.[24] In 2022, the newspaper La República reported that 90 athletes had been excluded from the program.[25]

In 2024, the head of the IPD, Federico Tong, indicated that the PAD would be restructured and that it would have the New Sports Talents Program to help athletes with professional potential.[26]

Organisation

[edit]

The IPD is composed of federated bodies for each sport in the country and of regional directorates. It is headed by a president.
