"La Blanquirroja" would next achieve third place at the 2011 Copa América, despite several of the team's key figures missing due to injuries. This has greatly boosted confidence for the Peruvian team toward the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, but despite this high hope, indiscipline problem haunted the Peruvian squad, as the team went on to be knocked down following a 1–2 home loss to Uruguay. This shocking elimination culminated hostile reaction from fans, and rocked the chair of then-President of FPF Manuel Burga, who had been responsible for already earlier elimination in 2010 World Cup qualifiers. Sergio Markarián stepped down as manager of Peru following the defeat. Eventually, Manuel Burga would step down as President of the FPF and replaced by businessman and inexperienced Edwin Oviedo. Burga would be later prosecuted and arrested for corruption charge, eventually acquitted after investigation, but was permanently banned from football activities by FIFA in 2019.
