Cecilia Pérez, former Sports Minister and metropolitan intendant, has assumed the presidency of Azul Azul, the concessionaire managing Universidad de Chile, becoming the first woman to lead a Primera División club in Chile. She replaces Michael Clark, who resigned last week amid a sanction from the Financial Market Commission over the Sartor case. Pérez pledged teamwork to improve sports and financial performance, including the dream of a new stadium.

Ñublense defeated Universidad de Chile 1-0 at Estadio Bicentenario Nelson Oyarzún in Chillán, courtesy of a free kick by Diego Céspedes in the 90+2nd minute. The match was overshadowed by controversial refereeing from Cristián Galaz, particularly a foul by Jovany Campusano on Javier Altamirano that went unpunished. The Red Devils now have 16 points and surpass the Blues in the Primera División standings.
The 2025 Primera División's last round started with a 2-2 draw between Palestino and Huachipato at La Cisterna Municipal Stadium. The match was the farewell for coach Lucas Bovaglio, who confirmed he will not lead the team in 2026. Huachipato fielded reserves ahead of their Copa Chile final.
