Bolivian President Evo

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.
