FIFA president Sepp Blatter has given Peru`s Football Federation until Monday to solve their dispute with the government or face a suspension from international competition.
The row broke out after the government refused to recognise the re-election of Manuel Burga as president of the FPF.
Blatter, who is in Chile to attend to Under-20 Women's World Cup, claimed the world governing body needs to receive a document signed by the federation and the government in which both parties agree to resolve the dispute within 10 days.
"In Peru politics intervenes in the football organisation. This situation hurts me. It always hurtful when FIFA have to come between political groups and the football organisations," said Blatter.
"We need on Monday an official statement from the government on the one hand and the FA on the other, in which they agree to solve this problem with a 10-day deadline.
"But if we don't have that document the Peruvian Football Federation will be immediately banned.
"That means that they cannot play in international competitions at any level, clubs, national teams and referees. They will be banned from every single international championship."
