Peru vs. Uruguay: Pedro Castillo's approval could rise 3 points if the national team wins on both dates

This afternoon the Peruvian football team and its similar Uruguay face off in a duel with a view to continuing on the road to Qatar 2022. Given this, the researcher and author of the book “The formula of the goal”, Hugo Ñopo, assured that Pedro Castillo's approval could grow if the bicolor won these two dates.

“There is an impact on our mood to begin with, but there is also an impact on much more concrete variables. It has a real impact on Peru, in politics, for example when a national team does well the presidential approval goes up, this is something that we have statistically measured in our book the goal formula. If on a double date a team succeeds and wins 6 points, the presidential approval could rise to 3 points,” he said.

In addition, researcher Hugo Ñopo, made it clear that there are also variables where these figures have no impact on countries where they are used to constantly winning at such sports events.

“This happens in countries like ours, a country that sometimes wins, sometimes loses, so there is this room for excitement, but for example this does not happen in countries that regularly win like Brazil Argentina, for example for them winning 6 points on a double date does not have the impact it has on countries like Mexico Chile Peru Colombia”, analyzed.

Faced with this, he said, “politicians want to be close to sports or football in particular, especially when there is success, when they are close to good results,” he said.

Following this line, Ñopo also recalled the great impact of Peruvians when our team arrived in Russia. GDP grew by 1 additional point, which would not have been achieved if this event that marked the history of Peru in football had not happened, since after 36 years we were going to a world cup.

“It was impressive what happened to us 4 years ago, we ran out of fabric there were no white and red fabrics, since many did not believe that Peru was going to the world cup. After a few months doing another analysis, we were able to realize that we were about to run out of televisions. People started buying televisions in staggering numbers to watch the football world cup, Peruvian consumption of food and beverages around the first quarter of the standings and the world cup also skyrocketed,” he said.

“This made our country one more point than would have happened if we hadn't gone to the world cup,” he added.

Recall that in recent months, according to the main pollsters in our country, they have shown declining figures on the approval of President Pedro Castillo. The last one carried out by Ipsos, showed that 60% of Peruvians disapproved of his administration since he arrived at the Government Palace.
