The Peru national team enjoyed its most successful periods thanks to footballing generations from the 1930s and the 1970s.{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} The 1930s generation led Peru at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930 and won the [[1938 Bolivarian Games]] and the [[1939 South American Championship|1939 Copa América]], with goalkeeper [[Juan Valdivieso]] and forwards [[Teodoro Fernández]] and [[Alejandro Villanueva]] playing important roles. The 1970s generation qualified Peru for three World Cups and won the [[1975 Copa América|Copa América in 1975]]; the team then notably included defender [[Héctor Chumpitaz]] and the forward partnership of [[Hugo Sotil]] and [[Teófilo Cubillas]]. |

Peru has had great moments in the history of football ever since its start in the 1930s. During this era they participated in the first [[FIFA World Cup]], the controversial [[1936 Summer Olympics]], and won their first [[Copa América]] in 1939. Later, between 1970 and 1982, a Golden Generation of Peruvian footballers once more brought Peru into the view of the world.<ref name="FIFA Peru">{{cite web | title=Peru| work=FIFA.com | url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/southamerica/teams/team=43929/index.html | accessdate=2007-10-20}}</ref> Throughout its history Peru has held the honor of having a series of excellent [[footballers]], the most famous being [[Teofilo Cubillas]] whom, with his distinct attacking flair and skill, has often been regarded as the most famous exponent of Peru's golden football years in the 1970s. During this time, the team then qualified for three out of four FIFA World Cups and won the [[Copa América]] in 1975. |

Currently, the Peruvian team is usually rated around the 50th spot in FIFA rankings. Recent efforts to reach the World Cup have been unsuccessful six times in a row. Even so, various Peruvian players have been successful, among them, [[Jefferson Farfan]], [[Nolberto Solano]], [[Claudio Pizarro]], [[Juan Manuel Vargas]], and [[Jose Paolo Guerrero]]. Recently, a series of disastrous results and internal problems have led the team to a downfall in the rankings. |

[[Association Football]] was introduced in Peru by English sailors in the late 19th century during their frequent stops at the port of [[Callao]], which at that point was considered one of the most important ports of the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.findinternettv.com/Video,item,3956344969.aspx|title=Callao-Peru|accessdate=2007-08-12 |work=findinternettv.com }}</ref> During their free time, the English sailors resorted to playing football and, since more players were needed in order to play football, they invited the local ''Chalacos'' (people from Callao) to participate in their games. Allegedly, it was during these early games that the creation of the popular move known as the "Chalaca" (short for "Chalacan Strike"), or [[bicycle kick]], took place.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://199.125.90.75/futbol/autonoticias/columnistas/2006/11/29/DetalleNoticia82855.asp |title=La "Chalaca" de Ronaldinho |accessdate=2007-08-23 |work=Futbolperuano.com }}</ref> Soon, the [[sports rivalry]] that evolved between the foreigners and the Chalacos began to gain much attention from people elsewhere. As a result, the popularity of the sport eventually extended to [[Lima]], and even though at first the sport was played without the formality of sports clubs, a few clubs were eventually created in order to continue its practice in the early 20th century.

Historian David Goldblatt assessed the decline of its previous success: "despite all the apparent preconditions for footballing growth and success, Peruvian football disappeared".{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=642}} He attributes this sudden decline to Peruvian authorities' repression of "social, sporting and political organisations among the urban and rural poor" during the 1940s and 1950s.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=642}} Nevertheless, Peru performed creditably at the South American Championships, placing third in [[1949 South American Championship|Brazil 1949]] and [[1955 South American Championship|Chile 1955]], and missed qualification for the [[1958 FIFA World Cup|Sweden 1958 World Cup]] finals, over [[Two-legged tie|two legs]] to eventual champions Brazil.{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|p=572}} |

Even though the Peruvian Football Federation had joined [[CONMEBOL]] in 1925, the re-structuring of the national league prevented the creation of a national football team that would be able to participate in the South American Championships of [[South American Championship 1925|1925]] and the [[South American Championship 1926|1926]]. Moreover, even though in the club level Peru had a series of strong teams, the Peruvian national team created for the 1927 [[South American Championship 1927|South American Championship]] was the first succesfull attempt at a national squad for Peru. This first squad was composed from the best players of the Peruvian Football League, but their first game played against Uruguay (recent winners of the Football Olympics) showed a largely disunited team still trying to mold into a united group effort. After losing their first game to Uruguay in a result of 4-0, the Peruvian squad achieved their first victory a few days later against Bolivia in a surprising 3-0 result. |

By the late 1980s, renewed expectations for Peru were centred on a young generation of Alianza Lima players known colloquially as ''Los Potrillos'' ("The Colts").

The time that followed saw the appearance of a group of excellent Peruvian football players that would help further expand the popularity of the sport not only in Peru, but also in other countries of [[South America]]. By the late 1920s and the early 1930s the skill and technique of the local Peruvian teams had turned so fantastic that clubs from around South America sought to see exhibition matches of the Peruvian clubs versus their clubs, and for nearly all of their matches the Peruvian teams defeated one team after another in places such as [[Chile]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubatleticochalaco.com/historia.html|title=Historia del Club Atletico Chalaco|accessdate=2008-08-12|work=clubatleticochalaco.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clubalianzalima.com/pages/hist1921.asp|title=Historia Blanquiazul: 1921-1960|accessdate=2008-08-12|work=clubalianzalima.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vamosbolo.unlugar.com|title=Historia (Bolognesi)|work=vamosbolo.unlugar.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://peru.com/futbol/seleccion/historia/futbolistas/tfernandez.asp|title=Teodoro 'Lolo' Fernandez|work=Futbolperuano.com}}</ref> The best moments of Peruvian football had thus began as the continued popularity of football in Peru led to the appearance of great players such as [[Alejandro Villanueva]], [[Teodoro Fernandez]], and [[Juan Valdivieso]].

The [[1930 FIFA World Cup]] was an interesting experience for all the teams participating. For the Peruvian team, their first match against the [[Romania national football team]] was filled with problems as the Romanians and Peruvians played a rough match that eventually led to a broken leg for one of the Romanian players. This and several other incidents on the field, such as the first minute goal by Romania, soon led to the World Cup's first player dismissed, the Peruvian Plácido Galindo. After all the commotion was settled due to this decision by the referee, Peru was able to momentarily tie the game. Nevertheless, the lack of a player and the inexperience of the national side gave (after two consecutive goals) a pleasing 3-1 result to Romania. Afterwards, in the match against the hosts, Uruguay, that would innaugurate the [[Estadio Centenario]], Peru played an allegedly formidable game against the ''Charruas.'' In fact, Peru lost only by one goal to Uruguay, thus showing a sign of improvement from the past 1927 result against Uruguay (whom would later go on to beat Romania 4-0 and eventually crown themselves champions of the tournament). |

Later, during [[1936 Berlin Olympics]], the team further showed how much they had improved since 1927. Largely with the squad of the 1930s, but with a new group of young stars, Peru made a great start by defeating the [[Finland national football team]] with a margin of 7-3. Even more surprisingly, the Peruvians defied all odds and managed to defeat [[Austria national football team|Austria]] on a 4-2 result during over-time. Still, the team formally withdrew due to problems with the German government's intervention causing the [[International Olympic Committee]] to nullify Peru's victory against Austria and ordering a re-match.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp |title=Las Olimpiadas de Berlín |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=futbolperuano.com }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,756542,00.html|title=Olympic Games (Concl'd)|accessdate=2007-08-19|work=www.time.com}}</ref> Even though the team was already making history, their perseverance would soon lead them to the consolidation of their grandeour. In 1938, Peru's first international title would finally come during the first [[Bolivarian Games]], which Peru won after winning all their games against the football teams of [[Bolivia national football team|Bolivia]], [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]], [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]], and [[Venezuela national football team|Venezuela]]. Then, further consolidating their status as Peru's first golden generation, the national squad won Peru's first [[South American Championship 1939|South American Championship]] (later known as ''Copa America'') in 1939. Once again, the national squad lost none of its matches and in their path to the finals defeated Ecuador, Chile, and Paraguay. For the final, Peru had to yet again face Uruguay, but this time the team was able to overcome the challenge and defeated Uruguay by a close margin of 2-1. Peruvian player [[Teodoro Fernández]] became the tournament's maximum goal scorer with 7 goals, and currently retains the historic second place of the competition. As a result of these many titles, victories, and important showings, the early years of Peru's football history went extraordinarily well, and the team was able to effectively build its game along with the increasing competition of the CONMEBOL region. |

This basic scheme has been only slightly altered over the years.<ref name="Arkivperu.com, ''La Blanquiroja''"/> |

Nonetheless, due to a series of internal problems, Peru's football years after this first golden generation did not involve any other major accomplishments. The 1940s and 1950s flew by with only the achievements of a gold and bronze medal at the Bolivarian Games, and a couple of third places in the Copa America. During the 1960s Peru began to slowly show signs of improvement as the team won the Bolivarian Games of Barranquilla and qualified for the [[1960 Summer Olympics]] held in [[Rome, Italy|Rome]]. Even though the team was only capable of beating the [[India national football team]] after losing to [[France national football team|France]] and [[Hungary national football team|Hungary]], the squad once again began to give its fans bright hopes for the future. |

Once into the 1970s, the Peruvian "Blanquirrojas" rose with a spark of international victories and a string of young football stars that made the team once more a major competitive force in the world of football. Players like [[Teófilo Cubillas]], [[Pedro Pablo Leon]], [[Héctor Chumpitaz]], [[Ramon Mifflin]], [[Hugo Sotil]], [[Roberto Challe]], and [[César Cueto]], helped make South American football a fierce competitor of European football at a time when teams throughout the world were becoming better at this sport.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gci275.com/peru/football.shtml |title=Peruvian Football |accessdate=2008-04-27}}</ref> The participations of Peru in the 1970, 1978, and 1982 FIFA World Cups made the national team once again leave its mark in international competitions as the world saw with awe the elegant and technical play of a Peruvian squad that had a thirst for victory.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.conmebol.com/federaciones_pais_index.jsp?pais=per&slangab=S |title=Federación Peruana de Fútbol |accessdate=2007-09-13 |work=conmebol.com }}</ref> The participation of Peru in the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]] remains as one of the most memorable as the squad caused sensation as they advanced into the quarterfinals after first eliminating [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] in the qualifiers, defeating [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] 3-2 after trailing 0-2, losing 3-1 to [[Germany national football team|Germany]], and defeating [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] 3-0. Moreover, their game against Brazil, which they lost 4-2, is usually considered as one of the best World Cup games to have ever been played. Not only that, but in 1975 Peru achieved its second Copa America title, and thus another set of players consolidated their mark in Peruvian sports history. Furthermore, the Peruvian squad once more took the title of football champions at the Bolivarian Games twice during these times. Along with an increase of better teams within the Peruvian league, Peru kept up its game up well into the late 1980s. |

Peru's first kit, made for the 1927 South American Championship, comprised a white-and-red striped shirt, white shorts and black socks.<ref name="Pulgar Vidal, ''Hace80''">{{cite web | author=Jaime Pulgar-Vidal Otálora | title=Hace 80 Años Debutó Peru | publisher=Jaime Pulgar-Vidal| url=http://jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com/2007/02/hace-80-aos-debut-per.html| language=es | date=24 February 2007 | access-date=28 June 2013}}</ref> At the 1930 World Cup, Peru used an alternate design because [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] had already registered a similar kit with white-and-red striped shirts.

Heading towards the 21st century, the 1990s were not very good years for the Peruvian football team. The terrible [[1987 Alianza Lima air disaster]] further crushed the hopes for the team as a series of good players ready to play for the national team died. Although there were still several good players like [[Julio Cesar Uribe]], [[Nolberto Solano]], [[Claudio Pizarro]], and [[Jose del Solar]], the team was no longer the "Golden Team" of the 70s. In terms of Copa America, the squad could only go as far as the quarterfinals before getting eliminated. Meanwhile, in the World Cup qualifiers, the team was not able to even get close to reaching another FIFA tournament until 1998, but that dream was also twarthed by a goal difference with [[Chile national football team|Chile]]. The only important title the team won during these years was the Kirin Cup, were they shared first place with [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]]. |

Peru wears as its badge the emblem of the Peruvian Football Federation. The first badge, presented in 1927, had a [[heater shield]] design with the country's name and the federation's acronym (FPF). Eight different emblems followed, with the longest-lasting design being the modern French [[Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]] form emblazoned in the team's jersey from 1953 until 2014. This design had the Peruvian flag at its base, and either the country's name or the federation's acronym at its chief. Since 2014, the badge has a retro-inspired heater shield design, with the entire field comprised by Peru's flag and the federation's acronym, surrounded by a gold-colored frame.<ref>{{cite web | first=Marcelo | last=Hidalgo | title=Federación Peruana de Fútbol: todos los escudos en su historia |work= Depor.com | publisher=Empresa Editora El Comercio | url=https://depor.com/futbol-peruano/seleccion-peruana/federacion-peruana-futbol-escudos-historia-foto-interactiva-7015 | language=es | date=23 October 2016 |access-date=22 November 2017}}</ref> |

The early 21st century brought with it the same Peruvian team, a shadow of its former self. Nevertheless, the squad began getting new revivals once the team began getting new young players with new hopes and goals. As the years kept going, Peruvian football once more started to give signs of vitality as local teams from the league began doing rather well in international competitions. Yet, the results were still vastly the same for the Peruvian team in terms of both the Copa America and the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Quite surprisingly, Peru was able to do well when they were invited to participate in the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup]] and even won another Kirin Cup in 2005. Meanwhile, in 2007, the football fans of Peru received another great surprise as the national [[Peru national under-17 football team|U-17 squad]] qualified and reached the quarterfinals (for their first time) of their FIFA World Cup. This success from the young squad has given new hopes to fans that things are turning for the better. With young star players like [[Jefferson Farfan]] and [[Jose Paolo Guerrero]], the possibilities for Peru have expanded and now the team seeks to once more reach the best of the world in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] to be held in South Africa. |

Eight sportswear manufacturers have supplied Peru's national team. The first, German company [[Adidas]], supplied the team's kit in 1978 and 1983–1985. The FPF has signed contracts with manufacturers from Brazil ([[Penalty (sports manufacturer)|Penalty]], 1981–82), Switzerland ([[Bata Corporation|Power]], 1989–1991), Italy ([[Diadora]], 1991–1992), England ([[Umbro]], 1996–1997, 2010–2018), Ecuador ([[Marathon Sports]], 2018–2022), and another from Germany ([[Puma (brand)|Puma]], 1987–1989).

The national team, for a series of different reasons, has tended to use a variety of venues to play against its rivals. The geographic variety of [[Peru]] is immense, and thus the national team has the option to use different stadiums that might prove as a benefit for the national team. At times, using the high altitude of the [[Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega]] in [[Cusco]] or the Amazonic climate [[Estadio Max Agustin]] of [[Iquitos]] can prove to be a good strategy for the team that may lead to both favorable results and an increase in national pride in regions far from the capital. Also, using popular stadiums in [[Lima]], like the [[Estadio Alejandro Villanueva]], can sometimes be an option for the team due to the supportive crowd.<ref name="El Comercio">{{cite web | url=http://www.elcomercio.com.pe/ediciononline/HTML/2008-08-07/Conmebol-confirma-estadio-nacional-como-escenario-partidos-eliminatorias.html | title=Conmebol confirma Estadio Nacional | work=elcomercio.com.pe | accessdate=2008-08-08 }}</ref> Recently, though, the more modern [[Estadio Monumental "U"]] has been selected to momentarily house the Peruvian football team due to the National Stadium's [[artificial turf]]. |

Football has been the most popular sport in Peru since the early 20th century, with Peru having one of the largest fanbases in the Americas and possibly the world.{{sfn|Bravo|2012|p=42}} Originally largely exclusive to Lima's [[Anglophile]] elite and expatriates, and secluded from the rest of the city,{{sfn|Wood|2007|p=128}} football became an integral part of wider popular culture during the 1900s and 1910s. Over the following decades, Augusto Leguía's government institutionalised the sport into a national pastime by promoting and organising its development.{{sfn|Wood|2007|pp=128–129}} Consequently, the national football team became an important element of Peru's [[national identity]].{{sfn|Campomar|2014|pp=303–304}} According to the historian Carlos Aguirre, [[Nationalism|nationalist]] fervor spiked during the [[1970 FIFA World Cup qualification|qualification phase]] for the 1970 World Cup finals, because the revolutionary government of General [[Juan Velasco Alvarado]] tied the national team's success with the alleged cultural, social, and psychological changes spurred by the country's new political project.{{sfn|Aguirre|2013|pp=397–398}} |

The [[Estadio Nacional disaster]] of 24 May 1964, involving Peruvian supporters, is cited as one of the worst tragedies in football history.<ref>See: |

The Estadio Monumental is a [[football (soccer)|football]] [[stadium]] in [[Lima]], [[Peru]], which serves as home ground for the football club [[Universitario de Deportes]]. It was built throughout the 1990s, and oficially opened in they year 2000. Currently, it is Peru’s largest and most modern stadium. Also, it is the third largest stadium in [[South America]], behind the [[Estádio do Maracanã|Maracanã]] in Brazil and the [[Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo|Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo]] in Ecuador.<ref name="FPF Monumental">{{cite web | url=http://www.fpf.com.pe/escenario.htm | title=Escenario | work=FPF.com.pe | accessdate=2007-06-19 }}</ref> The stadium was built in accordance with [[FIFA]]’s manual of technical specifications for stadiums, and has a spectator-capacity of 80,093.<ref name="FPF Monumental"/><ref name="Cap">{{cite web | url=http://www.fussballtempel.net/conmebol/PER.html | title=Peru | work=fussballtempel.net | accessdate=2008-01-15}}</ref> |

Police threw [[tear gas]] into the crowd, causing a stampede; trying to escape, fans were crushed against the stadium's locked gates.

== Rivalries == |

Despite its size, it has never hosted any of the major sporting events that have come to Peru such as the [[Copa America 2004|2004 Copa America]] and the [[2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship]]. Nonetheless, it was chosen as the national team's venue for the [[2010 FIFA World Cup Qualification (CONMEBOL)|2010 World Cup Qualifiers]] by the manager [[Jose del Solar]]. Moreover, it has prominently hosted various concerts and other events not related to the football atmosphere. Even tough the situation seemed to point towards the stadium staying as the venue for the Peruvian team, problems with Gremco company (the builders of the stadium) and Universitario de Deportes led to the national team's return to the Estadio Nacional.<ref name="futbolperuano.com">{{cite web | url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/AutoNoticias/FutbolPortada/2008/08/07/DetalleNoticia107393.asp| title=Peru jugara las eliminatorias en el estadio nacional | work=peru.com | accessdate=2008-08-08}}</ref> |

The rivalry between the Ecuador and Peru football teams is rooted in the historical [[History of the Ecuadorian–Peruvian territorial dispute|border conflict]] between the two nations dating back to the 19th century. In 1995, after the brief [[Cenepa War]], CONMEBOL contemplated altering [[1995 Copa América|that year's Copa América]] group stage to prevent a match between the two sides, but ultimately did not.{{sfn|Llopis|2009|p=171}} According to cultural historian [[Michael Handelsman]], Ecuadorian fans consider losses to [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] or Peru "an excuse to lament Ecuador's inability to establish itself as an international soccer power".{{sfn|Handelsman|2000|p=49}} Handelsman adds that "[t]he rivalries are intense, and the games always carry an element of national pride and honor".{{sfn|Handelsman|2000|p=49}} |

==Results and fixtures== |
|||
After making their FIFA World Cup debut at Uruguay [[Football World Cup 1930|1930]], Peru next made an impact on the finals at [[Football World Cup 1970|Mexico 1970]] where they beat [[Bulgaria national football team|Bulgaria]] and [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] to start off the tournament with a surprising bang. The Brazil of [[Rivelino]], [[Tostao]], [[Jairzinho]] and [[Pelé]] put an end to that adventure 4-2 in the quarter-finals. The World cup of [[Football World Cup 1978|Argentina 1978]] saw Peru end up first in their group during the first phase of the tournament, but they were later eliminated after losing all their games in the second phase. Their last World Cup appearance was in that of [[Football World Cup 1982|Spain 1982]], a tournament in which Peru was viewed as a favorite. Yet, the problem came when the team basically trained too much and were tired even before the tournament had begun. They were eliminated last in their group, with 2 ties and 1 loss. |

In [[Football World Cup 1930|Uruguay 1930]], Peru was part of group C and lost both games they played, 1:0 against [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] and 3:1 against [[Romania national football team|Romania]]. As an anecdote, the game Peru played against Uruguay inaugurated the historic [[Estadio Centenario]] of [[Montevideo]]. Among the important figures of notable mention composing the Peruvian team were the goalie [[Juan Valdivieso]], the defense [[Mario de Las Casas]], whom would later found the club [[Universitario de Deportes]] and the forward and idol of [[Alianza Lima]], [[Alejandro Villanueva]]. |

The tale to [[Football World Cup 1970|Mexico 1970]] begins from the qualification game played against Argentina in their "mythical" stadium of "[[La Bombonera]]." Previously, Peru had beaten Argentina and Bolivia in Lima. At La Paz, Bolivia beat Peru. Thus, Peru only needed a tie to qualify for the World Cup. Peru played one of their best games that day, and were capable to tie the game 2:2 and qualified for the World Cup to be played at Mexico. |

A total of 44 [[Manager (association football)|managers]] have led the Peru national football team since 1927 (including multiple spells separately); of these, 36 have been from Peru and 24 have been from abroad.<ref name="Entrenadores">{{cite web | title=Selección peruana: Estos han sido sus entrenadores a lo largo de la historia | work=Perú21 | publisher=Empresa Editora El Comercio | url=http://peru21.pe/deportes/seleccion-peruana-estos-han-sido-sus-entrenadores-lo-largo-historia-2213629 | date=5 March 2015 | access-date=22 June 2015 | language=es | archive-date=23 June 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623051224/http://peru21.pe/deportes/seleccion-peruana-estos-han-sido-sus-entrenadores-lo-largo-historia-2213629 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Sports analysts and historians generally consider Peru's most successful managers to have been the Englishman [[Jack Greenwell]] and the Peruvian [[Marcos Calderón]].

Soon after forming Peru's national football team, the FPF invited Uruguayan coaches Pedro Olivieri and Julio Borelli to manage the squad. Olivieri received the FPF's first appointment, for the 1927 South American Championship, due to his prior experience managing [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]]. Borelli became the national team's second manager, for the 1929 South American Championship, after some years of [[Referee (association football)|refereeing]] football matches in Peru.<ref>{{cite web | first=Raúl | last=Behr |title=El entrenador del silbato | publisher=DeChalaca| url=http://dechalaca.com/informes/curiosidades/el-entrenador-del-silbato | date=6 June 2012 |access-date=28 June 2013| language=es}}</ref> The Spaniard [[Francisco Bru]], Peru's third manager and first World Cup coach at the inaugural tournament in 1930, previously had been [[Spain national football team|Spain]]'s first manager.<ref name="Once Ideal">{{cite web | first=Roberto | last=Castro |title=Once Ideal: La cumbre de los técnicos | publisher=DeChalaca | url=http://dechalaca.com/hemeroteca/el-once-ideal/080516rconcetecnicoseuropeos | date=16 May 2008 |access-date=28 June 2013| language=es}}</ref> The FPF next appointed the national team's first Peruvian coach, Telmo Carbajo, for the [[1935 South American Championship]].<ref name="Entrenadores"/> Coach [[Ricardo Gareca]] was credited well, bringing Peru to the [[2018 FIFA World Cup]], finished second in the [[2019 Copa América|2019]] and placed third in [[2015 Copa América|2015]] and fourth in [[2021 Copa América|2021 Copa América's]], along with almost bringing Peru to their sixth World Cup in [[2022 FIFA World Cup|2022]] but was removed in 2022. The team's manager since December 2023 is Uruguay's [[Jorge Fossati]]. |
|||
Those who stood out in this team were [[Roberto Challe]], [[Alberto Gallardo]], [[Orlando De la Torre]], [[Teófilo Cubillas]], [[Pedro Pablo Leon|Pedro "Perico" Leon]], Ramon Mifflin, Nicolás Fuentes, and the idol that would be known as the "Captain of America," [[Héctor Chumpitaz]]. Afterwards, for the World Cup, the "Cholo" [[Hugo Sotil]] joined the team. |
|||
Managers that brought outstanding changes to the Peru national team's style of play include the Hungarian [[György Orth]] and the Brazilians [[Didi (footballer, born 1928)|Didi]] and [[Tim (footballer)|Tim]]. Orth coached Peru from 1957 to 1959; sports historian Andreas Campomar cites Peru's "4–1 thrashing of England in Lima" as evidence of Orth's positive influence over the national team's offensive game.{{sfn|Campomar|2014|p=304}} [[Víctor Benítez]], Peru's defensive midfielder under Orth, attributes the Hungarian with maximizing the team's potential by accurately placing each player in their [[Association football positions|optimal positions]].<ref>{{cite web | author=Mario Fernández Guevara | title=Víctor Benítez: "¿Pizarro jugó?

Peru entered the tournament in Group 4, and played against Bulgaria (3:2 victory), Morocco (3:0 victory), and Germany (3:1 loss). In the match against Bulgaria, the "Nene" Cubillas marked his first goal with a great pass from Ramon Mifflin. Right now, he is the 6th greatest goal scorer of the World Cups at 10 marks in 3 participations. |
|||
== Players == |
|||
Once in the quarterfinals, Peru faced the Brazil of [[Pelé]] (Whom would go on to win the cup) and lost 4:2 in a game qualified as one of the best football games in history. Current president of the FIFA, [[Joseph Blatter]], considers it the best. Peru's historic head coach was the Brazilian [[Valdir Pereira]], whom greatly lamented playing against his own country but certainly put up a great fight. |

=== Current squad === |

As an anecdote to this World Cup, Peru had faced one of their worst earthquakes in history while the team was in Mexico. Several people died, and one whole city was wiped from the face of the earth. Due to this, the team was quite saddened and showed a deplorable first-half against Bulgaria (Losing 2 to nothing). The tale goes on to say that someone uttered: "With this game they're killing those who survived the earthquake back in Peru." True or false, Peru was capable to turn the game back around and beat Bulgaria.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/06.asp |title=La clasificación de Perú al Mundial de México '70 |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=Futbolperuano.com }}</ref> |

A report published by CONMEBOL in 2008 described Peru as traditionally exhibiting an "elegant, technical and fine football style", and praised it as "one of the most loyal exponents of South American football talent".<ref name="CONMEBOL">{{cite web | title=Peruvian Football Federation| publisher=CONMEBOL | url=http://www.conmebol.com/federaciones_pais_index.jsp?pais=per&slangab=E | access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080801161211/http://www.conmebol.com/federaciones_pais_index.jsp?pais=per&slangab=E |archive-date = 1 August 2008}}</ref> In 2017, Argentine manager Ricardo Gareca described Peruvian footballers as "technically sound, [physically] strong and adaptable", adding that their adaptability resulted from Peru's diverse [[Geography of Peru|geography]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Gareca: I want Peru to boss matches at the World Cup| publisher=FIFA.com| date=11 December 2017| url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2017/m=12/news=gareca-i-want-peru-to-boss-matches-at-the-world-cup-2923857.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171212042849/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/y=2017/m=12/news=gareca-i-want-peru-to-boss-matches-at-the-world-cup-2923857.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=12 December 2017 | access-date=22 December 2017}}</ref> |

By [[Football World Cup 1982|Spain 1982]] the team's performance declined as the team fell at the opening hurdle, drawing with [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]] before getting crushed by Poland 5-1. Previously, though, Peru was viewed as a favorite and a good candidate to advance into the next phase. |
|||
Peruvian players noted in the CONMEBOL report as "true artists of the ball" include forwards Teófilo Cubillas, [[Pedro Pablo León]] and Hugo Sotil, defender [[Héctor Chumpitaz]] and midfielders [[Roberto Challe]], [[César Cueto]], [[José del Solar]], and [[Roberto Palacios]].<ref name="CONMEBOL"/> Cubillas, an attacking midfielder and forward popularly known as ''El Nene'' ("The Kid"), is widely regarded as Peru's greatest ever player.<ref>See: |
|||
The problem was that Peru had previously been doing several practice matches, all of which re-assured to the public that Peru would do well in the World Cup. Yet, Peru trained too much and by the time the World Cup begun, the team was completely exhausted. |

Before Cubillas' appearance, Teodoro "Lolo" Fernández, a forward nicknamed ''El Cañonero'' ("The Cannoneer"), held the status of Peru's greatest player—due to his powerful shots, marksmanship, and club loyalty to Universitario.<ref>{{cite web | title=The first king of La U and Peru| publisher=FIFA.com| date=17 September 2017| url=https://www.fifa.com/news/y=2011/m=9/news=the-first-king-and-peru-1511746.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150922191446/http://www.fifa.com/news/y=2011/m=9/news=the-first-king-and-peru-1511746.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=22 September 2015 | access-date=23 December 2017}}</ref> Fernández participated as a key member of the ''Rodillo Negro'' team of the 1930s, along with Alejandro Villanueva and Juan Valdivieso.{{sfn|Witzig|2006|pp=131, 350, 486}} Fernández scored most of the team's goals; his partner in attack, the gifted playmaker Villanueva, awed audiences with his acrobatic skills.

'''1986 FIFA World Cup Qualifier''' |
|||
In 1972, teams representing [[Europe XI|Europe]] and South America played a commemorative match in [[Basel]], Switzerland, for the benefit of homeless children. Cubillas, Chumpitaz, Sotil, and [[Julio Baylón]] played in the South American team, which won the game 2–0; Cubillas scored the first goal.{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|p=143}} The teams held another match the following year, at Barcelona's [[Camp Nou]], with the declared intent of fighting global poverty. Cubillas, Chumpitaz, and Sotil again participated, with Chumpitaz named South America's captain. Each of the Peruvians scored in a 4–4 draw, which South America won 7–6 [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|on penalties]].{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|pp=144–145}} |
|||
Peru almost qualified to [[Football World Cup 1986|Mexico 1986]] once more eliminating Argentina. Yet, for this [[Football World Cup 1986 (qualification CONMEBOL)|qualifier]] game, they were to face the Argentina of Maradona. At first, Peru was achieving a victory at Buenos Aires, but [[Diego Armando Maradona]] was able to tie the game and qualify Argentina into the World Cup they would later win. |
|||
== Team records == |
|||
Peru was thus forced to face Chile for elimination, and they lost 4-2 on Santiago and 1-0 on Lima. This was to be Peru's last closest chance of qualifying until 1998. |
|||
{{main|Peru national football team records and statistics}} |
|||
The Peru national football team has [[Peru national football team results|played 645 matches]] since 1927, including friendlies.<ref name="RSSSF, ''International Results''" /> The largest margin of victory achieved by a Peru side was a 9–1 win against Ecuador on 11 August 1938, at the Bolivarian Games in Colombia. The team's record defeat was a 7–0 loss to Brazil at the 1997 Copa América in Bolivia.<ref name="RSSSF, ''International Results''" /> |

|||
Peru was grouped for the [[Football World Cup 1990 (qualification CONMEBOL)|qualification]] along with Bolivia and Uruguay. Every single game was lost, and only two goals were scored (One by [[Jose del Solar]] and the other by Andres Gonzales). [[Julio Cesar Uribe]] was considered one of the best players of the team at that moment. |

'''1998 FIFA World Cup Qualifier''' |

The [[Football World Cup 1998 (qualification CONMEBOL)|campaign]] to reach [[Football World Cup 1998|France 1998]] was thwarted only by the goal difference tiebreaker, as they finished even on points with [[Chile national football team|Chile]]. The qualifying system had changed and now all teams were to face each other, and Peru had been able to maintain the 4th spot until the next-to-last match when they faced Chile at Santiago. The game was quite humiliating, specially due to the aggressions the Peruvian team faced from the Chileans. As far as it currently goes, this is currently Peru's last closest chance to qualifying. |

The [[Football World Cup 2002 (qualification CONMEBOL)|preliminaries]] for [[Football World Cup 2002|Korea/Japan 2002]] were certainly not any respite from that, as the team finished eighth in the group with just four wins in eighteen matches. The fact that they only managed to score 14 goals demonstrated how far the attack had fallen since the days of Cubillas. Particularly low points of the qualifying tournament included a 3-0 loss at [[Venezuela national football team|Venezuela]] and defeats in over half of their home matches to [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]], [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]], [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]], [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] and [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]. |

'''2006 FIFA World Cup Qualifier''' |
|||
During the years of 2004 and 2005, Peru participated in the [[Football World Cup 2006 (qualification CONMEBOL)|qualifier]] for the [[Football World Cup 2002|Germany 2006]] World Cup. Peru this time hit the ground hard as conflicts with the team's management soon showed poor results in the games that were to follow. [[Paulo Autuori]] managed the squad, but was not able to achieve popularity due to a disastrous campaign that led Peru into 8th place just above Bolivia and Venezuela. [[Freddy Ternero]] also momentarily managed the squad, but was dismissed due to problems with the FPF. |
|||
'''2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier''' |
|||
The 2010 qualifiers, beginning in 2007, resulted in another set of problems for the Peruvian team. In their first four games, the team had only achieved 2 ties (both at home) and 2 losses. Not only that, but controversies between the FPF and the IPD (Peruvian Sports Institute) caused problems outside of the field for the national team. Furthermore, a scandal shook the team as it was discovered, with informational support of prominent figures such as [[Jaime Bayly]], that several of the players had been partying during the time they were supposedly "concentrating" for a match against Brazil. The 2008 season opened with 2 losses and 2 draws for the Peruvian team in the qualifiers, leaving many fans discontent. Moreover, after a victory of 3-1 against Costa Rica during training matches, Peru lost its following two games against Spain and Mexico (with a last minute goal in favor of Spain, and a 4-0 result facing Mexico). |

== Competitive records == |
|||
Ever since their first [[Copa América]], Peru has had interestingly good showings. It is often remembered by fans that Peru was the 4th team (After Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil) that won the South American cup. Even though in 1939 Peru played against only 3 of the South American nations (With no participation from [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] or [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]]), in 1975 Peru won the cup once more (This time with all the [[CONMEBOL]] teams participating). |
|||
=== FIFA World Cup === |
|||
Recently, Peru has only been able to get only as far as the quarterfinals of the tournament which holds its own prestige as being the oldest tournament of international football; along with having Argentina and Brazil (the 2 teams usually considered among the top 5 in the football world), which have also recently been dominating the tournament. Nevertheless, all the South American nations get to show-off their skills and characteristic play in the Copa América, and Peru is no exception. The team's colorful history in the Copa América tournaments for the least seems to hold that true. |

Peru has taken part in the World Cup finals five times. The Peruvian team competed at the first World Cup in 1930 by invitation, and has entered each tournament at the qualifying stage since 1958, qualifying for the finals four times: in 1970, 1978, 1982 and 2018. Its all-time record in World Cup qualifying matches, as of 2017, stands at 43 wins, 37 draws and 69 losses.

At this point Peru is the 7th nation to join the competition, and in 1927 the games are decided to be played there. Although only 3 teams came to the tournament, Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia; the participating federations decided that the 1st and 2nd places of the competition would represent South America for the Olympic Games to be played at Amsterdam in 1928. It should be noted that the other federations (Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay) did not participate because of economic and sport problems. Peru gained third place after only beating [[Bolivia]]. |

This tournament is characterized by the Argentinean and Uruguayan conflict that rooted from the [[Football World Cup 1930|1930 World Cup]]. The winners here were going to once more represent South America for the Olympic Games, this time to be played at Berlin. Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay had withdrawn from the tournament. Peru's first game resulted at a 1-0 loss, with a goal scored by a Uruguayan player at the 80th minute. The second one was not much better, and Peru lost 4-1 against Argentina. The last game was won by Peru 1-0 against Chile. The tournament gave Peru the third spot, and helped it train and improve for the [[1936 Summer Olympics]]. |

Peru earned its first continental title in 1939, when it won the South American Championship with successive victories over Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. This marked the first time that the competition had been won by a team other than Uruguay, Brazil, or Argentina.{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|pp=648, 652}} Peru became South American champions for the second time in 1975, when it won that year's Copa América, the first to feature all ten CONMEBOL members.{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|p=648}} Peru came top of their group in the first round, eliminating Chile and Bolivia, and in the semi-finals drew with Brazil over two legs, winning 3–1 in Brazil but losing 2–0 at home. Peru was declared the winner by drawing of lots. In the two-legged final between Colombia and Peru, both teams won their respective home games (1–0 in Bogota and 2–0 in Lima), forcing a play-off in [[Caracas]] that Peru won 1–0.{{sfn|Henshaw|1979|pp=656–657}} |
|||
This was the first international title the team won. During this time, the team had greatly improved since the World Cup and was re-assuring that dominance they had shown over Austria in the [[1936 Berlin Olympics]]. Peru won all 4 games which were against Ecuador (5-2), Chile (3-1), Paraguay (2-1), and Uruguay (2-1) in the final. It's worth the mention that in this tournament Argentina and Brazil did not participate, but that does not take down the merit of Peru's notable act. Peruvian [[Teodoro Fernández]] also was the top goal-scorer of the tournament. As an anecdote, Peru was the fourth South American team that raised the trophy (The first three being Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/02.asp |title=Perú y su primera Copa América |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=Futbolperuano.com }}</ref> |

|||
By this time, Peruvian football was recognized by good game and playful management of the ball. Several interesting players came to the national team, but the team faced several problems with the directors and the players themselves. Peru won all but two games. As such, the national team got third place. Paraguay and Brazil, the only ones who beat Peru, had to later play a last tie-breaker match. |
|||
'''[[South American Championship 1953|Peru 1953]]''' |
|||
As much as Peru did, the team was not capable to achieve another Copa America title until later years. Yet, the games played in 1953 are memorable to Peruvian football history because it was the first time Peru was able to beat Brazil (A certain something not many have been able to achieve). The goal was scored by Navarrete.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/03.asp |title=El primer triunfo peruano sobre Brasil |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=Futbolperuano.com }}</ref> |
|||
'''[[Copa América 1975]]''' |
|||
This tournament had no fixed venue. For the first phase, Peru was grouped with Chile and Bolivia. After winning both games, which were played both at home and away, Peru qualified for the semifinals along with Colombia, Brazil, and Uruguay (Which were the defending champions). Perhaps unlucky for Peru, they had to face Brazil for their semifinal. At the city of [[Belo Horizonte]] in Brazil, Peru beat the [[Brazil national football team|Verdeamarela]] by a margin of 3 to 1 with two goals from Enrique Cassareto and one by Teófilo Cubillas. The game played back home at Lima was won by Brazil 2-0. Due to the goal difference, the winner (Which turned out being Peru) was chosen by sorting. |
|||
The final match was played against Colombia, whom had beaten Uruguay. The game played at [[Bogotá]] was won by the Colombians 1 to 0. The game played at Lima was won by the Peruvians 2 to 0. Even though this meant Peru should win by the goal difference, a last game was played at the city of [[Caracas]]. With a goal at the 25th minute of the game by [[Hugo Sotil]], Peru obtained its second international title.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/08.asp |title=La Copa América de 1975 |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=Futbolperuano.com }}</ref> |
|||
'''[[Copa América 1993|Ecuador 1993]]''' |
|||
Peru had an acceptable participacion in this Copa America when they passed as the leaders of their group with 4 points, 1 more point than Brazil. Paraguay and Chile also were part of this group. Peru tied with Brazil 0-0, tied with Paraguay 1-1 and beat Chile 1-0. The lead scorer for Peru in this competition was [[Jose del Solar]] with three goals. In semifinals Peru was eliminated by Mexico 4-2. |
|||
'''[[Copa América 1997|Bolivia 1997]]''' |
|||
The team was able to reach the quarterfinals of this cup and eliminated [[Argentina national football team|Argentina]] (2:1) to advanced into the semifinals. In the semifinals, Peru faced Brazil, and lost by a margin of 7 to 0 (Peru's worst result to date). For the third place spot, Peru faced [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]]. The game was won by Mexico by a goal scored at the 82nd minute of the game. |
|||
'''[[Copa América 2004|Peru 2004]]''' |
|||
The [[Copa América 2004|2004 Copa América]], which they hosted, saw the team lose in the quarter-finals against Argentina. This began a wave of criticism against Peru's then coach [[Paulo Autuori de Mello|Paulo Autuori]], who boycotted the media, and his squad.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_football/3650964.stm |title=Peru suffer in silence |accessdate= |work=BBC Sport }}</ref> |
|||
'''[[Copa América 2007|Venezuela 2007]]''' |
|||
Peru's campaign in the [[Copa América 2007|2007 Copa América]] saw another futile attempt of the Peruvian squad, eliminated again in the quarter-finals by Argentina; the blame for this was mainly given to the tactics and formations of the coach [[Julio César Uribe]], who did not call the appropriate players to the national team. After this situation, Peru replaced Uribe for [[Jose del Solar]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/news/newsid=558597.html |title=Peru name Del Solar as new coach |work=fifa.com }}</ref> |
|||

In 1936, the Peruvian team was invited to join the Olympics to be played at [[1936 Summer Olympics|Berlin]]. Peru accepted the invitation and the team set-off for Berlin with high expectations. Previously, Peru had withdrawn from the [[1934 FIFA World Cup]], but this time Peru wanted to show what they were capable of doing. |

|[[1955 South American Championship squads|Squad]] |

The first match against [[Finland national football team|Finland]] was won with great commodity by the Peruvians (A 7-3 result). Peru's next match came against Austria in the quarterfinals, a game [[Adolf Hitler]] (An Austrian himself) was highly interested in. To the surprise of many, Peru was able to defy all odds and beat [[Austria national football team|Austria]] (A 4-2 result). This result bothered Hitler, especially since the Peruvian team was mainly composed of black players while the Austrian team played with a white [[Aryan race]] squad. Hence, with support from Hitler, Austria was thus able to gain the chance for a repetition of the game to be once more played. |
|||
It is commonly said that one of the arguments used was that of the ball being too big and the goal too small; also that the field was too small for competition and that the Peruvian fans had stormed the field after the fourth goal. Nonetheless, whatever the case might have been, the event was regarded as an injustice from German Nazi authorities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peruenlasolimpiadas.8m.net/about.html |title=Peru en Berlin 1936 |accessdate=2008-07-24 |work=doctor-futbol.8m.net }}</ref> It is because of this insulting situation that Peru figured it was best to simply leave the tournament (Austria went on to win the Silver Medal), and all the Peruvian Olympic teams left Berlin in protest to the discriminatory actions of [[Germany]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/01.asp |title=Las Olimpiadas de Berlín |accessdate=2007-08-21 |work=futbolperuano.com }}</ref> |

'''1997 U.S. Cup''' |

''For more information: [[1997 U.S. Cup]]'' |
|||
The U.S. Cup (also known as the USA Cup, United States Cup and Nike U.S. Cup) was a soccer cup held annually in the United States from 1991 to 2000. The cup, hosted by the United States Soccer Federation, was contested between the United States and three guest teams; which in 1997 included Mexico, Peru, and Denmark. This was the first and only U.S. Cup for both Peru and Denmark. |
|||
In the first game of the tournament, Peru took the U.S. in [[San Diego]]'s [[Jack Murphy Stadium]]. Striking early, when [[German Carty]] scored in the 8th minute off a [[Paolo Maldonado]] cross, Peru dominated the first-half game. Yet, even though the U.S. dominated long stretches of the second-half and had several good chances, it was unable to score on any of them. In the second game the Peruvian team had a hard time converting their technical superiority into goals, partly due to Danish [[goalkeeper]] [[Mogens Krogh]].<ref>Allan Pedersen, "Kroghs oprejsning", ''[[Ekstra Bladet]]'', 20 January 1997</ref> |
|||
Peru's last match was against Mexico, a game that Peru needed to win to reach the top of the game's scoreboard. Yet, neither Peru or Mexico were able to score and the game ended in a tie. Peru thus placed third-place in the competition and Mexico won its second title. |

'''2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup''' |
|||
''For more information: [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup]]'' |
|||
Peru was one of three teams invited to the [[2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2000 Gold Cup]] held at the United States. This was the first time Peru had been invited to the competition, and the team accepted to enter the tournament. |
|||
Peru played in Group B of the tournament, placed with the USA and Haiti. Peru's two matches did not really go well for the team, they tied to [[Haiti national football team|Haiti]] (1-1) and lost to the [[USA national football team| USA]] (1-0) by the minimal difference. Nevertheless, Peru played a decent first phase that got them into the next round. |
|||
The challenge came when they had to face Group As leader, Honduras. [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]] had come from winning both of their previous games against [[Jamaica national football team|Jamaica]] and [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]]. The odds were really against Peru, but the team raised its name by beating Honduras 5-3. |
|||
Peru's final match in the tournament came against Colombia. The match was won by Colombia 2-1, with an [[own goal]] from Peruvian player Salazar. Even though Peru has not been invited to the tournament ever since then, it is still a memorable participation for Peru since they went rather far (along with Colombia) into a competition that was not of their football sector. |
|||
'''Kirin Cup''' |
|||
''For more information: [[Kirin Cup]]'' |
|||
The Kirin Cup is an annual football tournament organised in Japan by the Kirin Corporation. Participants are either club teams or national teams, but the Japan national team is always a participant. Peru was invited to this competition in 1999 and 2005. |
|||
In 1999, Peru was invited along with Belgium. To Peru this served mainly as a training tournament, but surprisingly Peru was able to achieve the title. Of course, [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]] also shared the title with Peru due to a tie in score. Nevertheless, this victory can be counted as an international title Peru has won (their third).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesk/kirin99.html|title=Kirin Cup 1999 |accessdate=2008-04-27 |work=rsssf.com}}</ref> |
|||
Similarly, in 2005, Peru was once more only coming to the tournament to do a good show and train some more. Yet, they left Japan once more with the title of champions and their 4th international title (shared with [[United Arab Emirates national football team|United Arab Emirates]] this time). Peru now holds the historic 5th place of this competition with an overall of 3 ties and 1 victory.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wldcup.com/Asia/nats/2005/peru.html |title=Kirin Cup (Peru) |accessdate=2008-04-27 |work=The Rising Sun News}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesk/kirin05.html |title=Kirin Cup 2005 |accessdate=2008-04-27 |work=rsssf.com}}</ref> |

==Kit evolution== |
|||
[[Image:Peru HistoricKit 1970.png|thumb|290px|right|A more detailed version of the Peruvian football kit.]] |
|||
The Peruvian team has officially used four official kits, but it also has used several alternatives. The classic colors used are red and white, which compose the [[flag of Peru]]. During the presidency of [[Augusto B. Leguia]], the kit of Peru was taken from one of the most popular and successful teams of the Peruvian tournaments held between clubs of Lima and Callao, [[Alianza Lima]]. The kit of that particular club came about as a result of the team taking Augusto Leguia's stable shirts as a model for their design. Hence, the first kit of Peru honored both the most successful club of [[Peru]] at that time and the president of the nation. The only difference between the kits was the use of red stripes instead of Alianza's blue stripes, and the use of white shorts instead of Alianza's blue shorts. The team officially used this first uniform in the South American Championship (later renamed [[Copa America]]) of 1927 and later used it once more in the [[South American Championship 1929| South American Championship of 1929]]. Originally, the kit was apparently going to remain the official kit of the national team, but when the [[1930 FIFA World Cup]] came up, the Peruvian team was forced to change their shirts due to [[Paraguay national football team|Paraguay]] registering their football kit first. |
|||
The white shirt used had a red collar and the players used red socks. After Peru lost both its games in the World Cup, the team once more looked for a new kit that would be more characteristic of the national colors of Peru. The first change came for the [[South American Championship 1935|1935 South American Championship]], a tournament that Peru would hold for a third time. Although the team did not win, their unique white shirt with a red horizontal stripe made the first official appearance of the new design. The team's loss in the tournament is what probably once again led the team to look for a better shirt, and finally in 1936 developed a white shirt with a red stripe that crossed the chest from the left shoulder to the right hip. There is no valid conclusion as to how this shirt came to be part of the new Peruvian kit, but the usage of it during Peru's excellent performance in the [[1936 Berlin Olympics]] would consolidate it as the new official kit of the team. Later, during the [[Bolivarian Games]], Peru would once again bring fame to this kit as the team won the inaugural tournament of the competition. The team went on to win several more Bolivarian Games and participate in the [[1960 Summer Olympics]] using this kit, but it was during the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]] when the shirt reached its height in international popularity as the Peruvian team defeated several important opponents and reached the quarterfinals of that tournament. Although Peru also used their alternative kit at that time as a result of color television, the first kit of the team amounted the most prestige. Peru's current alternate kit is similar but uses a complete red kit with a white horizontal stripe. Up to this day, the unique style of the "Blanquiroja" kit has led it to become a symbol of Peru in various international tournaments. |
|||
'''Official First kits''' |
|||
*The first uniform was that of the red stripes, white shorts, and white socks. This model was only used in the [[South American Championship 1927|Copa América 1927]] and was left aside due to its similarity with the kit of Paraguay. |
|||
*The second uniform was that of the white shirt with red collar, white shorts, and red socks. Peru used this model when the team participated in the [[1930 World Cup]]. |
|||

==Football rivalries== |
|||
''For more information look at: [[Chile and Peru football rivalry]]'' |
|||
Peru and Chile have a rivalry that dates back from the [[War of the Pacific]]. Previously, the two nations had been on friendly terms sharing mutual alliances during the [[South American wars of independence]] and in the [[Chincha Islands War]], in which both the combined armies of Peru and Chile defeated the Spain in the [[Pacific Ocean]]. However, territorial, maritime, and cultural disputes have fueled tensions since the ending of the War of the Pacific. These historical feuds and lingering bitterness have led to a large football rivalry between both nations. The games between them tend to be very rough, but very competitive nevertheless. As a result of this, their games have gained the nickname of ''Clasico del Pacifico'', meaning the "Derby of the Pacific."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://images.rpp.com.pe/portada/deportes/9355_1.php |title=Clasico del Pacifico |accessdate=2008-04-27 |work=rpp.com}}</ref><ref name="The Star">{{cite web | title=High Alert for Chile-Peru Qualifier| work=thestar.com.my | url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/10/17/sports/19188779&sec=sports| accessdate=2008-08-09}}</ref> |
|||
Peru's football rivalry against [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]] is not as great, but still important to mention. Such a rivalry comes from disputes ongoing disputes between Ecuador and Peru over territory in the Amazon regions near the Equator. The rivalry is greater from the Ecuadorian side, but Peru follows close behind it. The games are also rough like those played against Chile, but the determination of both sides is generally interesting to see as both teams are usually on the attack. |

The Peru national football team represents Peru in men's international football. The national team has been organised, since 1927, by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF).[A] The FPF constitutes one of the ten members of FIFA's South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL). Peru has won the Copa América twice, and has qualified for the FIFA World Cup five times (last appearing in 2018); the team also participated in the 1936 Olympic football competition and has reached the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The team plays most of its home matches at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, the country's capital.
The team wears distinctive white shirts adorned with a diagonal red stripe, which combine Peru's national colours. This basic design has been used continuously since 1936, and gives rise to the team's common Spanish nickname, la Blanquirroja ("the white-and-red").[4] Peruvian football fans are known for their distinctive cheer ¡Arriba Perú! ("Onward Peru!") and large celebrations.[5] Peru has a longstanding rivalry with Chile.[6]
The Peru national team enjoyed its most successful periods thanks to footballing generations from the 1930s and the 1970s.[7] The 1930s generation led Peru at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930 and won the 1938 Bolivarian Games and the 1939 Copa América, with goalkeeper Juan Valdivieso and forwards Teodoro Fernández and Alejandro Villanueva playing important roles. The 1970s generation qualified Peru for three World Cups and won the Copa América in 1975; the team then notably included defender Héctor Chumpitaz and the forward partnership of Hugo Sotil and Teófilo Cubillas.
The national team's all-time top goalscorer is Paolo Guerrero, with 39 goals, and its two joint most-capped players are Roberto Palacios and Yoshimar Yotún, both with 128 appearances.[8] Since December 2023, Peru is managed by the Uruguayan Jorge Fossati.
History
During the 19th century, British immigrants and Peruvians returning from England introduced football to Peru.[9] In 1859, members of the British community in the country's capital founded the Lima Cricket Club, Peru's first organisation dedicated to the practice of cricket, rugby, and football.[B][11][12] These new sports became popular among the local upper-class over the following decades, but early developments stopped due to the War of the Pacific that Peru fought against Chile from 1879 to 1883. After the war, Peru's coastal society embraced football as a modern innovation.[13] In Lima's barrios, football became a popular daily activity, encouraged by bosses who wanted it to inspire solidarity and productivity among their workers.[14] In the adjacent port of Callao and other commercial areas, British civilian workers and sailors played the sport among themselves and with locals.[15][C] Sports rivalries between locals and foreigners arose in Callao, and between elites and workers in Lima—as foreigners departed, this became a rivalry between Callao and Lima.[9][17] These factors, coupled with the sport's rapid growth among the urban poor of Lima's La Victoria district (where, in 1901, the Alianza Lima club formed), led to Peru developing the Andean region's strongest footballing culture,[18] and, according to historian Andreas Campomar, "some of the most elegant and accomplished football on the continent".[19]

The Peruvian Football League, founded in 1912, held annual competitions until it disbanded in 1921 amid disputes amongst its clubs.[20] The Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), formed in 1922, reorganised the annual tournament in 1926.[21] The FPF joined the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) in 1925 and, after restructuring its finances, formed the Peru national football team in 1927.[22] The team debuted in the 1927 South American Championship, hosted by the FPF at Lima's Estadio Nacional.[15] Peru lost 0–4 against Uruguay in its first match, and won 3–2 over Bolivia in its second.[23] Peru did not advance beyond the first stage of the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930.[24]
The 1930s were the team's first golden era,[7] when they improved their game through play with more experienced teams.[19] The Combinado del Pacífico (a squad composed of Chilean and Peruvian footballers) toured Europe from 1933 to 1934.[D][19] Starting with Ciclista Lima in 1926, Peru's football clubs toured Latin America with much success.[25][26] During one of these tours—Alianza Lima's undefeated journey through Chile in 1935—emerged the Rodillo Negro ("Black Roller"), a skillful group led by forwards Alejandro Villanueva, Teodoro Fernández and goalkeeper Juan Valdivieso.[27] Sports historian Richard Witzig described these three as "a soccer triumvirate unsurpassed in the world at that time", citing their combined innovation and effectiveness at both ends of the field.[7] Peru and the Rodillo Negro impressed at the 1936 Summer Olympics, won the inaugural Bolivarian Games in 1938, and finished the decade as South American champions.[28][29]
Historian David Goldblatt assessed the decline of its previous success: "despite all the apparent preconditions for footballing growth and success, Peruvian football disappeared".[30] He attributes this sudden decline to Peruvian authorities' repression of "social, sporting and political organisations among the urban and rural poor" during the 1940s and 1950s.[30] Nevertheless, Peru performed creditably at the South American Championships, placing third in Brazil 1949 and Chile 1955, and missed qualification for the Sweden 1958 World Cup finals, over two legs to eventual champions Brazil.[31]
![Photo of four men in the foreground, inside a full stadium](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Peru_Argentina_1970_World_Cup_Qualifiers.png/220px-Peru_Argentina_1970_World_Cup_Qualifiers.png)
Successes during the late 1960s, including qualification for the Mexico 1970 World Cup finals, ushered in a second golden period for Peruvian football.[7][32] The formidable forward partnership between Teófilo Cubillas and Hugo Sotil was a key factor in Peru's triumphs during the 1970s.[33] Peru reached the quarter-finals in 1970, losing to the tournament winners Brazil, and earned the first FIFA Fair Play Trophy;[34][35] historian Richard Henshaw describes Peru as "the surprise of the 1970 competition, showing flair and a high level of skill".[31] Five years later, Peru became South American champions for the second time when it won the 1975 Copa América (the then-rechristened South American Championship) despite failing to qualify for West Germany 1974 a year earlier. The team next qualified for two consecutive World Cup finals, reaching the second round in Argentina 1978 and the first group stage in Spain 1982. Peru's early elimination in 1982 marked the end of the side's globally-admired "flowing football".[36] Peru, nonetheless, barely missed the Mexico 1986 World Cup finals after placing second in a qualification group to eventual champions Argentina.[37] In their golden period from 1970 to 1982, Peru was among the best teams in the world.
By the late 1980s, renewed expectations for Peru were centred on a young generation of Alianza Lima players known colloquially as Los Potrillos ("The Colts"). Sociologists Aldo Panfichi and Victor Vich write that Los Potrillos "became the hope of the entire country"—fans expected them to qualify for the Italy 1990 World Cup finals.[38] These hopes were dashed when the national team entered a hiatus after its manager and several of its players died in a plane crash carrying most of Alianza's team and staff in 1987.[39] Peru subsequently only came close to reaching the France 1998 World Cup finals, missing qualification on goal difference,[37] but would go on to win the 1999 Kirin Cup tournament in Japan (sharing the title with Belgium)[40] and reached the semi-finals at the 1997 Copa América and the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup (contested as an invitee).[41]
Qualification for the FIFA World Cup finals continued being an elusive objective for Peru during the early 21st century.[37] According to historian Charles F. Walker, player indiscipline problems marred Peru's national team and football league.[42] Troubles in the FPF, particularly with its then-president Manuel Burga, deepened the crisis in Peruvian football—FIFA temporarily suspended the country from international competition, in late 2008, because the Peruvian government investigated alleged corruption within the FPF.[43][E] Burga's twelve-year tenure as FPF president, deemed by journalists and the public as disastrous for the national team, despite a third place at the 2011 Copa América, ended in 2014.[45][46][F] The FPF's new leadership appointed Juan Carlos Oblitas as the federation's new director and Ricardo Gareca as Peru's manager in March 2015.[49] Sports journalists credited Gareca with revitalizing Peru's football prowess by improving the players' training and professional conduct.[50] Under Gareca, Peru participated in the group stage of the Russia 2018 World Cup finals and finished runners-up at the 2019 Copa América.[51][52] After Peru narrowly missed qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, losing the inter-continental play-off against Australia, the FPF appointed former team captain Juan Reynoso as Peru's new manager. Dissatisfied with results for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the FPF replaced Reynoso with Uruguayan Jorge Fossati in 2023.[53]
Kit
The Peru national football team plays in red and white, Peru's national colours.[54] Its first-choice kit has been, since 1936, white shorts, white socks, and white shirts with a distinctive red "sash" crossing their front diagonally from the proper left shoulder to the right hip and returning on the back from the right hip to the proper left shoulder. This basic scheme has been only slightly altered over the years.[4]
![Photo of twelve men, seven standing and five crouching, inside a stadium](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a1/Peru_national_football_team_match_against_Mexico_in_Lima_1968_%28retouched%29.png/310px-Peru_national_football_team_match_against_Mexico_in_Lima_1968_%28retouched%29.png)
Peru's kit has won praise as one of world football's most attractive designs. Christopher Turpin, the executive producer of NPR's All Things Considered news show, lauded the 1970 iteration as "the beautiful game's most beautiful shirt", also describing it as "retro even in 1970".[55] Miles Kohrman, football reporter for The New Republic, commended Peru's kit as "one of soccer's best-kept secrets".[56] Rory Smith, Chief Soccer Correspondent for The New York Times, referred to Peru's 2018 version of the jersey as "a classic" with a nostalgic, fan-pleasing "blood-red sash".[57] The version worn in 1978 came first in a 2010 ESPN list of the "Best World Cup jerseys of all time", described therein as "simple yet strikingly effective".[58]
Peru's first kit, made for the 1927 South American Championship, comprised a white-and-red striped shirt, white shorts and black socks.[59] At the 1930 World Cup, Peru used an alternate design because Paraguay had already registered a similar kit with white-and-red striped shirts. The Peruvians instead wore white shirts with a red collar, white shorts and black socks.[59] The team added a horizontal red stripe to the shirt for the 1935 South American Championship. The following year, at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the team adopted the iconic diagonal red sash design it has retained ever since.[4] According to historian Jaime Pulgar-Vidal Otálora, the idea for the design came from school football matches in which coloured sashes worn over the shoulder would allow two teams wearing white shirts to play against each other.[60]
Peru wears as its badge the emblem of the Peruvian Football Federation. The first badge, presented in 1927, had a heater shield design with the country's name and the federation's acronym (FPF). Eight different emblems followed, with the longest-lasting design being the modern French escutcheon form emblazoned in the team's jersey from 1953 until 2014. This design had the Peruvian flag at its base, and either the country's name or the federation's acronym at its chief. Since 2014, the badge has a retro-inspired heater shield design, with the entire field comprised by Peru's flag and the federation's acronym, surrounded by a gold-colored frame.[61]
Eight sportswear manufacturers have supplied Peru's national team. The first, German company Adidas, supplied the team's kit in 1978 and 1983–1985. The FPF has signed contracts with manufacturers from Brazil (Penalty, 1981–82), Switzerland (Power, 1989–1991), Italy (Diadora, 1991–1992), England (Umbro, 1996–1997, 2010–2018), Ecuador (Marathon Sports, 2018–2022), and another from Germany (Puma, 1987–1989). The team has also been supplied by three local firms: Calvo Sporwear (1986–1987), Polmer (1993–1995), and Walon Sport (1998–2010).[62][63] Since January 2023, Adidas produces Peru's kit.[64]
Stadium
The traditional home of Peruvian football is the country's national stadium, the Estadio Nacional in Lima, which seats 50,000 spectators.[15] The present ground is the Estadio Nacional's third incarnation, renovated under the Alan García administration. Its official re-inauguration, 24 July 2011,[65] marked 88 years to the day after the original ground opened on the same site in 1923.[66]
To celebrate the centenary of Peru's independence from Spain, Lima's British community donated the original Estadio Nacional, a wooden structure with a capacity of 6,000.[66] Construction began on 28 July 1921, overseen by President Augusto B. Leguía.[67] The stadium's re-inauguration on 27 October 1952, under the Manuel A. Odría administration, followed an onerous campaign for its renovation led by Miguel Dasso, president of the Sociedad de Beneficencia de Lima.[68][69] The renovated stadium boasted a cement structure and larger spectator capacity of 53,000.[67] Its last redevelopment, in 2011, included the construction of a plaque-covered exterior, an internal multicoloured illumination system, two giant LED screens, and 375 private suites.[70][71]
A distinctive feature of the ground is the Miguel Dasso Tower on its north side, which contains luxury boxes (renovated in 2004).[68] The Estadio Nacional currently has a natural bermudagrass pitch, reinstalled as part of redevelopments completed in 2011. Previously, the FPF had installed artificial turf in the stadium for the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, making it the only national stadium in CONMEBOL with such a turf.[72] Despite the synthetic ground's rating of "FIFA Star II", the highest certification granted to artificial pitches, players accused the turf of causing them injuries, such as burns and bruises.[73]
Peru sometimes play home matches at other venues. Outside the desert-like coast region of Lima, the thin atmosphere at the high-altitude Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco has been described as providing strategic advantages for Peru against certain visiting teams.[74] Other common alternate venues for the national team include two other grounds in the Peruvian capital—Alianza's Estadio Alejandro Villanueva and Universitario's Estadio Monumental ''U''.[75][76]
The national team's training grounds are located within the Villa Deportiva Nacional (VIDENA) sports complex in Lima's San Luis district. Since 1981, the complex is managed by the Peruvian Institute of Sport (IPD).[77] In 2017, following Peru's qualification for the Russia 2018 World Cup finals, the Peruvian Football Federation announced the creation of a new complex, the Center of National Teams, in Lima's Chaclacayo district. The new complex will contain six training grounds for both the male and the female squads, including the senior and the youth sides.[78] In 2023, the FPF also announced its Plan Maestro, which incorporates modernized infrastructure in the VIDENA.[79]

Football has been the most popular sport in Peru since the early 20th century, with Peru having one of the largest fanbases in the Americas and possibly the world.[80] Originally largely exclusive to Lima's Anglophile elite and expatriates, and secluded from the rest of the city,[81] football became an integral part of wider popular culture during the 1900s and 1910s. Over the following decades, Augusto Leguía's government institutionalised the sport into a national pastime by promoting and organising its development.[82] Consequently, the national football team became an important element of Peru's national identity.[83] According to the historian Carlos Aguirre, nationalist fervor spiked during the qualification phase for the 1970 World Cup finals, because the revolutionary government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado tied the national team's success with the alleged cultural, social, and psychological changes spurred by the country's new political project.[84]
Peruvian football fans are known for their distinctive cheer ¡Arriba Perú! ("Onward Peru!"),[5] unabating popular chant ¡Vamos peruanos! (Let's go Peruvians!),[85] as well as for their use of traditional Peruvian música criolla to express support, both at national team games and at club matches. Música criolla attained national and international recognition with the advent of mass media during the 1930s, becoming a recognised symbol of Peru and its culture.[86] The national team's most popular anthems are Peru Campeón, a polca criolla (Peruvian polka) glorifying Peru's qualification for the Mexico 1970 World Cup,[86] and Contigo Perú, a vals criollo (Peruvian waltz) that newspaper El Comercio calls "the hymn of Peruvian national football teams".[87][G] In 2018, a FIFA-sanctioned worldwide online poll honoured the "fervent and dedicated group" of Peruvian supporters at that year's World Cup tournament with the FIFA Fan Award.[89]
The Estadio Nacional disaster of 24 May 1964, involving Peruvian supporters, is cited as one of the worst tragedies in football history.[90] During a qualifying match for the 1964 Olympics between Peru's under-20 team and its counterpart from Argentina, the Uruguayan referee Angel Payos disallowed a would-be Peruvian equaliser, alleging rough play. Spectators threw missiles from the stands while two fans invaded the pitch and attacked the referee. Police threw tear gas into the crowd, causing a stampede; trying to escape, fans were crushed against the stadium's locked gates. A total of 315 people died in the chaos, with more than 500 others injured.[91]
Rivalries
Chile
![Portrait of two men, dressed in sports attire, looking straight at the viewer](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Raul_Toro_y_Lolo_Fernandez.jpg/170px-Raul_Toro_y_Lolo_Fernandez.jpg)
The Peru national football team maintains prominent rivalries with its counterparts from neighbouring Chile and Ecuador. The Peruvians have a favourable record against Ecuador and a negative record against Chile.[92][93] Peru faced both rivals in the 1939 South American Championship in Lima, which also marked the first time that Peru faced Ecuador in an official tournament; Peru won both games.[94] Peru also defeated its rivals during qualifying for the Argentina 1978 World Cup, directly eliminating both teams.[92][93]
The Chile–Peru football rivalry is known in Spanish as the Clásico del Pacífico ("Pacific Derby").[6] CNN World Sport editor Greg Duke ranks it among the top ten football rivalries in the world.[95] Peru first faced Chile in the 1935 South American Championship, defeating it 1–0.[93] The football rivalry between Peru and Chile, partly a reflection of the geopolitical conflict between both neighboring states, is primarily a result of both football squads vying for recognition as the better team in South America's Pacific coast—as their football confederation is historically dominated by countries in South America's Atlantic coast.[96] The two countries traditionally compete with each other over the rank of fourth-best national team in South America (after Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay).[97] They also both claim to have invented the bicycle kick; Peruvians call it the chalaca, while it is the chilena in Chile.[98]
Ecuador
The rivalry between the Ecuador and Peru football teams is rooted in the historical border conflict between the two nations dating back to the 19th century. In 1995, after the brief Cenepa War, CONMEBOL contemplated altering that year's Copa América group stage to prevent a match between the two sides, but ultimately did not.[99] According to cultural historian Michael Handelsman, Ecuadorian fans consider losses to Colombia or Peru "an excuse to lament Ecuador's inability to establish itself as an international soccer power".[100] Handelsman adds that "[t]he rivalries are intense, and the games always carry an element of national pride and honor".[100]

Managers
![Photo of a man with a moustache, wearing a sports outfit, in a thoughtful pose](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Valdir_Pereira_Peru_Coach_in_1970.png/170px-Valdir_Pereira_Peru_Coach_in_1970.png)
A total of 44 managers have led the Peru national football team since 1927 (including multiple spells separately); of these, 36 have been from Peru and 24 have been from abroad.[102] Sports analysts and historians generally consider Peru's most successful managers to have been the Englishman Jack Greenwell and the Peruvian Marcos Calderón. The former managed Peru to triumph in the 1938 Bolivarian Games and the 1939 South American Championship, and the latter led Peru to victory in the 1975 Copa América tournament and coached it at the 1978 FIFA World Cup.[103][104] Three other managers have led Peru to tournament victories—Juan Carlos Oblitas, Freddy Ternero, and Sergio Markarián each oversaw Peru's victory in the Kirin Cup in Japan, in 1999, 2005 and 2011, respectively.[105]
Soon after forming Peru's national football team, the FPF invited Uruguayan coaches Pedro Olivieri and Julio Borelli to manage the squad. Olivieri received the FPF's first appointment, for the 1927 South American Championship, due to his prior experience managing Uruguay. Borelli became the national team's second manager, for the 1929 South American Championship, after some years of refereeing football matches in Peru.[106] The Spaniard Francisco Bru, Peru's third manager and first World Cup coach at the inaugural tournament in 1930, previously had been Spain's first manager.[103] The FPF next appointed the national team's first Peruvian coach, Telmo Carbajo, for the 1935 South American Championship.[102] Coach Ricardo Gareca was credited well, bringing Peru to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, finished second in the 2019 and placed third in 2015 and fourth in 2021 Copa América's, along with almost bringing Peru to their sixth World Cup in 2022 but was removed in 2022. The team's manager since December 2023 is Uruguay's Jorge Fossati.
Managers that brought outstanding changes to the Peru national team's style of play include the Hungarian György Orth and the Brazilians Didi and Tim. Orth coached Peru from 1957 to 1959; sports historian Andreas Campomar cites Peru's "4–1 thrashing of England in Lima" as evidence of Orth's positive influence over the national team's offensive game.[107] Víctor Benítez, Peru's defensive midfielder under Orth, attributes the Hungarian with maximizing the team's potential by accurately placing each player in their optimal positions.[108] Didi coached Peru from 1968 to 1970 and managed it at the 1970 FIFA World Cup; Campomar attributes Didi's tactics as the reason for Peru's development of a "free-flowing football" style.[107] Placar, a Brazilian sports journal, attributed Tim, who managed Peru at the 1982 FIFA World Cup, with making Peru "a team that plays beautiful, combining efficiency with that swagger that people thought only existed in Brazil".[109]

A report published by CONMEBOL in 2008 described Peru as traditionally exhibiting an "elegant, technical and fine football style", and praised it as "one of the most loyal exponents of South American football talent".[112] In 2017, Argentine manager Ricardo Gareca described Peruvian footballers as "technically sound, [physically] strong and adaptable", adding that their adaptability resulted from Peru's diverse geography.[113]
Peruvian players noted in the CONMEBOL report as "true artists of the ball" include forwards Teófilo Cubillas, Pedro Pablo León and Hugo Sotil, defender Héctor Chumpitaz and midfielders Roberto Challe, César Cueto, José del Solar, and Roberto Palacios.[112] Cubillas, an attacking midfielder and forward popularly known as El Nene ("The Kid"), is widely regarded as Peru's greatest ever player.[114] Chumpitaz is often cited as the team's best defender; Witzig lists him among his "Best Players of the Modern Era", and praises him as "a strong reader of the game with excellent ball skills and distribution, [who] marshalled a capable defence to support Peru's attack".[115] El Gráfico, an Argentine sports journal, described Cueto, Cubillas, and José Velásquez as, collectively, "the best [midfield] in the world" in 1978.[116]
Before Cubillas' appearance, Teodoro "Lolo" Fernández, a forward nicknamed El Cañonero ("The Cannoneer"), held the status of Peru's greatest player—due to his powerful shots, marksmanship, and club loyalty to Universitario.[117] Fernández participated as a key member of the Rodillo Negro team of the 1930s, along with Alejandro Villanueva and Juan Valdivieso.[118] Fernández scored most of the team's goals; his partner in attack, the gifted playmaker Villanueva, awed audiences with his acrobatic skills. Goalkeeper Valdivieso had a reputation as a penalty stopper with exceptional athleticism.[119]
In 1972, teams representing Europe and South America played a commemorative match in Basel, Switzerland, for the benefit of homeless children. Cubillas, Chumpitaz, Sotil, and Julio Baylón played in the South American team, which won the game 2–0; Cubillas scored the first goal.[120] The teams held another match the following year, at Barcelona's Camp Nou, with the declared intent of fighting global poverty. Cubillas, Chumpitaz, and Sotil again participated, with Chumpitaz named South America's captain. Each of the Peruvians scored in a 4–4 draw, which South America won 7–6 on penalties.[121]
Team records
The Peru national football team has played 645 matches since 1927, including friendlies.[23] The largest margin of victory achieved by a Peru side was a 9–1 win against Ecuador on 11 August 1938, at the Bolivarian Games in Colombia. The team's record defeat was a 7–0 loss to Brazil at the 1997 Copa América in Bolivia.[23]

The team's all-time top goalscorer is Paolo Guerrero, with 39 goals in 119 appearances. He is followed by Jefferson Farfán, with 27 goals in 102 appearances, and Teófilo Cubillas, who scored 28 goals in 81 appearances.[8] Of the top ten scorers for Peru, Teodoro Fernández, with 24 goals in 32 games, holds the best goal-per-appearance ratio (0.75 goals/match).[8] Claudio Pizarro scored Peru's fastest ever goal, coming less than a minute into a match against Mexico on 20 August 2003.[123]
Peru's current captain is forward Paolo Guerrero.[124] Midfielder Leopoldo Basurto was the team's first captain.[125] Defender Héctor Chumpitaz held the Peruvian team's leadership position for the longest time, between 1965 and 1981.[126] Forward Claudio Pizarro had the second-longest tenure as captain, from 2003 to 2016.[125] In 2022, streaming service Netflix launched "Contigo capitán", a series about Paolo Guerrero's doping ban that almost impeded his participation in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[127] Other notable captains include Rubén Díaz (1981–1985), Julio César Uribe (1987–1989), Juan Reynoso (1993–1999), and Nolberto Solano (2000–2003).[126]

Peru has taken part in the World Cup finals five times. The Peruvian team competed at the first World Cup in 1930 by invitation, and has entered each tournament at the qualifying stage since 1958, qualifying for the finals four times: in 1970, 1978, 1982 and 2018. Its all-time record in World Cup qualifying matches, as of 2017, stands at 43 wins, 37 draws and 69 losses. In the finals, the team has won five matches, drawn three and lost ten, with 21 goals in favour and 33 against.[23] Peru won the inaugural FIFA Fair Play Trophy, awarded at the 1970 World Cup, having been the only team not to receive any yellow or red cards during the competition.[34] Peru has the peculiar distinction of always facing the tournament's eventual winners during the finals phase.[128]
Luis de Souza Ferreira scored Peru's first World Cup goal on 14 July 1930, in a match against Romania.[129] José Velásquez scored Peru's fastest World Cup finals goal—that is, that scored soonest after kick-off—two minutes into the match against Iran on 11 June 1978.[130] Jefferson Farfán is Peru's top scorer and fifth-overall top scorer in CONMEBOL World Cup qualification, with 16 goals.[131] Teófilo Cubillas is the team's top scorer in the World Cup finals, with 10 goals in 13 games.[132] During the 1930 competition, a Peruvian became the first player sent off in a World Cup—his identity is disputed between sources as either defender Plácido Galindo or midfielder Mario de las Casas.[H] Peru's Ramón Quiroga holds the unusual record of being the only goalkeeper to commit a foul in the opponent's side of the pitch in a match at the World Cup finals.[135]

Copa América
![An action shot from a football match. A player scores from a bicycle kick.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Peru_Chile_Copa_America_1975_Oblitas_Chalaca_Version2.png/220px-Peru_Chile_Copa_America_1975_Oblitas_Chalaca_Version2.png)
Peru's national team has taken part in 33 editions of the Copa América since 1927, and has won the competition twice (in 1939 and 1975). The country has hosted the tournament six times (in 1927, 1935, 1939, 1953, 1957 and 2004). Peru's overall record in the competition is 52 victories, 33 draws, and 57 losses.[23] Peru won the Fair Play award in the 2015 edition.[136]
Demetrio Neyra scored Peru's first goal in the competition on 13 November 1927, in a match against Bolivia.[59] Christian Cueva scored Peru's fastest Copa América goal, two minutes into the match against Brazil on 14 June 2015.[137] Four tournaments have featured a Peruvian top scorer—Teodoro Fernández in 1939 and Paolo Guerrero in 2011, 2015, and 2019.[138][139] Fernández, the Copa América's third-overall scorer, was named best player of the 1939 tournament; Teófilo Cubillas, voted the best player in the 1975 competition, is the only other Peruvian to win this award.[140]
Peru earned its first continental title in 1939, when it won the South American Championship with successive victories over Ecuador, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. This marked the first time that the competition had been won by a team other than Uruguay, Brazil, or Argentina.[141] Peru became South American champions for the second time in 1975, when it won that year's Copa América, the first to feature all ten CONMEBOL members.[142] Peru came top of their group in the first round, eliminating Chile and Bolivia, and in the semi-finals drew with Brazil over two legs, winning 3–1 in Brazil but losing 2–0 at home. Peru was declared the winner by drawing of lots. In the two-legged final between Colombia and Peru, both teams won their respective home games (1–0 in Bogota and 2–0 in Lima), forcing a play-off in Caracas that Peru won 1–0.[143]

CONCACAF Gold Cup
Peru competed in the CONCACAF Gold Cup's fifth edition in 2000. Peru participated, along with Colombia and South Korea, as that year's invitees. The Peruvian team's overall record in the tournament is 1 victory, 1 draw, and 2 losses.[23]
Ysrael Zúñiga scored Peru's first goal in the competition on 14 February 2000, in a match against Haiti. Roberto Palacios, the team's top scorer with two goals in four matches, received a spot in that year's "team of the tournament", comprising the competition's eleven best players.[144]
Peru progressed past the North American tournament's first stage, despite not winning any of its matches, as the second-best ranked team in Group B behind the United States.[144] Peru next defeated Honduras 5–3 in a heated quarter-finals match that ended a minute early due to a pitch invasion by irate Honduran fans.[145] Colombia defeated Peru 2–1 in the semi-finals, in a match that included an own goal from Peru's Marcial Salazar.[144]
Olympic Games
Peru's senior side has competed in the Olympic football tournament once, at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. The multiracial 1936 team has been latterly described by historian David Goldblatt as "the jewel of the country's first Olympic delegation".[146] It had a record of two victories, scoring 11 goals and conceding 5.[23]
Teodoro Fernández scored Peru's first goal in the tournament in the match against Finland on 6 August, and finished as the team's top scorer with six goals in two games, including Peru's only hat-trick at the Olympics.[147]
The 1935 South American Championship in Lima acted as the qualifying stage for the 1936 Olympic tournament. Uruguay won undefeated and Argentina came second, but neither took up their Olympic spot because of economic issues. Peru, who had come third, duly represented South America.[7][148] The Peruvian team began the competition with a 7–3 win over Finland,[147] after which it faced Austria, managed by Jimmy Hogan and popularly known as the Wunderteam, in the quarter-finals.[I] After the game ended 2–2, Peru scored twice in extra time to win 4–2.[152] Peru expected to then face Poland in the semi-finals, but events off the pitch led to the withdrawal of Peru's Olympic delegation before the match.[J]

Notes and references
Notes
- ^ The acronym FPF comes from the organisation's Spanish name, Federación Peruana de Fútbol.
- ^ The Lima Cricket and Football Club might be the oldest club in the Americas that today plays association football.[10]
- ^ During these games in Callao, the Peruvians possibly invented the bicycle kick, which is known in Peru as the chalaca (meaning "from Callao").[16]
- ^ The European press also named them the "Peru-Chile XI", the "South American Team", and the "All-Pacific". Most players were from Peru's Universitario de Deportes, with reinforcements from Alianza Lima, Atlético Chalaco, and Chile's Colo-Colo.[19]
- ^ In 2008, FIFA suspended the Peru national team and football league—citing political interference—after Peru's government impeded the re-election of FPF president Burga, charging him with not complying FPF statutes according to Peruvian law. In December 2008, FIFA lifted sanctions after the Peruvian Institute of Sport (IPD) agreed to negotiate with the FPF.[44]
- ^ In 2017, Burga faced charges of racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering as part of the 2015 FIFA corruption case in the United States.[47] Although acquitted, the FIFA Ethics Committee ruled, in 2019, Burga guilty of receiving bribes for Copa Libertadores and Copa America tournaments, thereupon banning him for life on taking part in any football-related activity worldwide.[48]
- ^ Peru's unsuccessful World Cup finals qualification attempts, from Mexico 1986 until Russia 2018, cemented the fans' nostalgia for the 1970s' golden era and increased the popularity of Peru Campeón.[88]
- ^ FIFA lists the player as Galindo,[133] but forward Souza Ferreira and other sources list De las Casas.[134]
- ^ Although an amateur side in 1936 with no players from their 1934 World Cup team,[149] Austria's 1936 Olympic side is also considered part of the Wunderteam by sports historians and FIFA. This favours the idea that the Wunderteam was primarily a strategic creation of coaches Jimmy Hogan and Hugo Meisl.[150][151]
- ^ Austria disputed the 4–2 result, asserting that Peruvian fans had invaded the pitch.[153] While some spectators did encroach on the field of play, the authorities never confirmed their nationality. Moreover, the Peruvians had no responsibility over crowd control in the German stadium.[154] A FIFA committee headed by Jules Rimet ordered a replay behind closed doors, prompting Peru's President Óscar R. Benavides to withdraw his entire Olympic delegation in protest.[153]
