Daniel Peredo

Peredo was born in Lima, the fruit of a marriage that emigrated from Chiclayo. He lived his
entire childhood in the Pueblo Libre district and also with the family he formed with his wife
Milagros Llamosas Salas and his two daughters.7

His foray into sports journalism began as a personal hobby. When he found himself in
elementary school, he chose to dedicate himself to journalism professionally.3 The classification
of the Peruvian soccer team for the 1970, 1978 and 1982 World Cups and the championship in
the Fifteenth South American Championship (today Copa América), influenced even more in his
decision to dedicate himself to sports journalism.

Already in his career, he dedicated himself to working on various television, radio and written
press programs. He began as a columnist for the sports section of Ojo and later worked for El
Bocón, a sports newspaper, where he acquired some recognition. In March 1996, he began
working on television after Alberto Beingolea invited him to join the new program sports Goals in
action. Later, on some occasion, he himself stated that Pocho Rospigliosi was his main figure of
inspiration .3

Daniel consolidated his success in CMD as an announcer during the Conmebol Qualification for
the 2010 Soccer World Cup. One of his most remembered narrations is the one he made in the
match played between Peru and Argentina on September 10, 2008 at the Monumental Stadium.
de Lima, for the eighth date of the Conmebol Qualification for the 2010 World Cup.

On February 19, 2018, while he was playing a morning soccer game nicknamed "the Monday
pichanga", he began to feel unwell when he presented a picture of vomiting. Therefore, his
colleague Héctor Briceño offered to take him to his house, but due to the seriousness of his
illness, he decided to take him to the San Felipe clinic as an emergency. However, streets
before arriving, he suffered a sudden heart attack.8 After a few hours his death was confirmed.
The news was unexpected and became shocking to the point that it left sports journalism and a
large part of Peruvian soccer fans in mourning.

From that same day, open and cable television channels paid tribute to the journalist for his
death, such as the transmission of his best narrations in various matches of the Peruvian
national team and participation in different projects. It should be noted that Peredo admitted
numerous times that he always wanted to see his country's soccer team in a World Cup and,
after Peru qualified for Russia 2018, he was summoned to narrate the matches on RPP.
