Bolivian President to play a soccer game in Peru

LIMA, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales will play Thursday a soccer game with former Peruvian soccer players, the Bolivian Embassy to Peru confirmed on Wednesday.

Morales and his team will play at a soccer field of the Engineering National University, the same place where the "People's Summit" or alternative summit will be held.

Morales will attend to both summits, Bolivian embassy said.

Many Peruvian soccer stars have confirmed their participation in the game, among them are Hector Cumpitaz, Cesar Cueto, Teofilo cubillas and Julio Uribe.

Morales usually participates in soccer games at his country and other nations. He also has a closed battle with the International Federation of Soccer Associated (FIFA) for its refusal to allow official soccer games in places more than 2,750 meters over the sea.

This altitude veto affects La Paz, Oruro and Potosi Bolivia's cities and Cusco in Peru.
