Heavy rains continue to wreak havoc in Trujillo. The Mansiche Stadium woke up flooded after five hours of heavy rains and the presence of water caused by the ravine. Team Carlos Mannucci from Trujillo has a scheduled game against UTC de Cajamarca on Sunday March 12 at 16:00. In this context, the authorities met for consultation and decided to suspend the settlement and to communicate the new date promptly.
Various images show that the inside of the stadium appears to be flooded. Both dressing rooms are full of liquid and mud in all environments. The tunnel and access to the grandstand are flooded. A video was broadcast on social media showing the exterior of the enclosure receiving water from the stream.
Mansiche Stadium is not the only one in the region that has been hit by torrential rain and flooding. The colossus Víctor Raúl Haya de La Torre in El Porvenir has completely collapsed due to the flooding in that area. Users in social networks are questioning the situation. “Could it be the lack of drainage in the city? The problem no longer exists, the city has been suffering from the consequences since ’97,” commented one netizen.
The recommendation of the state authorities was followed and the obligation will be carried out on a different date. The final decision was made by the Peruvian Football Association.
