The 2022–23 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino (Spanish for: 2022–23 Women's Senior National Volleyball League) or 2022–23 LNSV was the 21st official season of the Peruvian Volleyball League. Regatas Lima were crowned three-time champions after defeating Alianza Lima in the final.Regatas Lima: Vóley: ¡Somos tricampeones!Regatas Lima se consagra tricampeón de la Liga Nacional de Vóley tras vencer a Alianza Lima¡REGATAS LIMA SE CONSAGRÓ TRICAMPEÓN DE LA LNSV!¡REGATAS LIMA ES TRICAMPEÓN NACIONAL DE VÓLEY!

Difficult start According to the 2022–2023 sports calendar of the Peruvian Volleyball Federation, published in Resolution No. 014-FPV-2022 on May 16, 2022, the 2022–23 Liga Nacional Superior de Voleibol Femenino was scheduled to begin on November 26, 2022, and conclude on May 14, 2023. However, the FPV postponed the start to December 7, a date on which the tournament also failed to kick off.Liga Nacional de Vóley: los nuevos fichajes de los clubes previo al inicio de la temporada 2022-2023

Subsequently, on December 6, 2022, Club Alianza Lima announced through its social media channels that the 2022–2023 LNSV would begin on December 17, 2022, and that “all matches would be played at the Villa El Salvador Sports Center.” This information was later confirmed by FPV president Gino Vegas on the Puro Vóley channel.Gino Vegas, presidente de la Federación Peruana de Voleibol, en Puro Vóley

Later, the FPV officially presented the start of the league during a press conference held on December 12, 2022, in Lima, confirming a Saturday, December 17 kickoff with the matches Alianza Lima vs. Túpac Amaru (15:00 p.m.) and Latino Amisa vs. Deportivo Soan (17:00 p.m.).LNSV: ¿Qué equipos jugarán en la temporada 2022-2023? During the press conference, it was also announced that ticket prices would be S/ 15 and S/ 30, sold through the JoinnUs online ticketing platform. Following the rescheduling on January 25, the FPV stated that ticket prices for Saturday triple-headers would be S/ 20 and S/ 40.

Political and social crisis

Unfortunately, on December 15, 2022, the Peruvian Volleyball Federation once again postponed the start of the 2022–2023 LNSV due to the severe political and social crisis in Peru following the failed self-coup attempt by Pedro Castillo Terrones and the rejection of Dina Boluarte as president. According to FPV Statement No. 03-2022, the new start date would be January 17, 2023.

After several postponements, the league finally kicked off on January 17 with the matches Regatas Lima vs. Sumak Selva (15:00 p.m.) and Alianza Lima vs. Túpac Amaru (17:00 p.m.). However, the FPV was once again forced to postpone six matches, due to widespread social protests against President Boluarte and the Peruvian Congress, particularly the so-called “Takeover of Lima” on January 19, which led the government to suspend all sporting activities nationwide.

Despite ongoing protests in Lima and other Peruvian cities, on Monday, January 23, the FPV announced that the tournament would resume on Tuesday, January 24, with the matches Géminis vs. San Martín (15:00 p.m.) and Latino Amisa vs. Deportivo Soan (17:00 p.m.).

Due to the latest postponement, the FPV released a rescheduled First Stage calendar on January 25 through the official LNSV Apuesta Total Facebook page. This rescheduling was primarily designed so that Sumak Selva would only need to travel to Lima twice for logistical and financial reasons. As a result, the Tarapoto-based team would play four matches in eight days in February (from the 5th to the 12th) and five matches in eight days in March (from the 4th to the 11th).

Behind closed doors As the political and social situation in Peru failed to improve, on February 1, 2023, the Federación Peruana de Voleibol announced, through Statement No. 002-DOD-FPV-2023, that starting February 2, LNSV 2022–2023 matches would continue “behind closed doors (without spectators) until the situation improves.” According to the FPV, the measure was lifted on February 3, allowing fans to return to the venue starting February 4.

In another episode reflecting disorganization and poor management, on March 16, 2023, the FPV announced, via Statement No. 004-2023-DOD/FPV, that “for reasons beyond our control, league matches will be played behind closed doors until further notice,” coinciding with the start of the Second Stage of the season. On March 20, the FPV confirmed that spectators would be allowed back starting March 21, after three matchdays without fans at the sports venue.
