The Peru national football team represents Peru in international football competitions and is managed by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF). Created in 1927, the team competes with the nine members of the FIFA's CONMEBOL conference, encompassing the countries of South America. The majority of Peru's home matches are held at the Estadio Nacional in Lima, with friendly matches sometimes hosted at club stadiums. The team has qualified to four FIFA World Cups and two Olympic tournaments, reaching the quarterfinals in both tournaments, and has won the Copa América on two occasions. Peru's traditional rival is the football team of Chile,[2] but has other prominent football rivalries such as the one with Ecuador.[3] The traditional colors of the team are red and white, and the team is known as la Blanquirroja (Spanish for "the white-and-red"[4]).

The Peruvian team has an inconsistent history of success. The team's early years saw World Cup participations and victories in the 1938 Bolivarian Games and the 1939 Copa América. Its 1950s side, which included Alberto Terry and Valeriano López, was considered to be among the the top 20 strongest footballing nations of the decade despite not winning any major tournaments.[5] The golden generation of Peruvian football brought Peru back into the world view in the 1970s, with greats such as Héctor Chumpitaz, Hugo Sotil, and Teófilo Cubillas leading to the idea that a new football power had emerged.[6][7] This team qualified Peru for three FIFA World Cups, and won the Copa América in 1975. The 1982 World Cup participation was to be Peru's last; the national team has not seen a major tournament victory or World Cup participation in over 27 years. The team was suspended from international participation by FIFA in late 2008 due to allegations of corruption between Peruvian sport authorities and the Football Federation. Peru is the first CONMEBOL team to be knocked out of the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

History

Main article: History of the Peru national football team

Introduction of football

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.[8] During their free time, the English sailors played football and invited the local Chalacos (people from Callao) to participate. 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.[9] Further promoting the growth of the sport, British residents of Peru and Peruvians returning from England began to increment the practice of football.[10]

Soon, the sports rivalry that evolved between the foreigners and the Chalacos began to gain much attention from people elsewhere.[10] 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.[11][12] In the 1900s, due to the construction of the Panama Canal, the port of Callao was no longer flooded with the quantity of foreign sailors and travelers that had at one point made the port a point of much cultural diffusion.[13] By this time more Peruvian cities had developed their own football clubs and leagues, such as those of Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa.[14] However, the most important amateur league (the Peruvian Football League) stayed in the capital province, where a new football rivalry arose between the participating clubs of Lima and the clubs of Callao.[15] The lack of a centralized organization often brought much conflict between the teams, and such a situation eventually escalated into a conflict that led to the creation of the Peruvian Football Federation in 1922 and a new Peruvian Football League tournament under the regulation of said organization in 1926.[16]

Creation of national team

Even though the Peruvian Football Federation had joined CONMEBOL in 1925, internal and economic problems prevented the creation of a national team that would officially participate in their tournaments.[17] An unofficial national team was created in 1922, and it played against a Uruguayan team sponsored by the Asociación Uruguaya de Fútbol.[17] The time that followed saw the appearance of a group of talented Peruvian football players, and Peruvian clubs made a series of successful international tours due to the high demand of the skill of their players across South America in places such as Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile.[18]

In 1927 a national football team was officially created for Peru.[17] This team played in the South American Championship of 1927 that was held in Lima, and Peru would go on to reach third place after losing in their official debut to Uruguay (4–0), achieving their first victory against Bolivia (3–2), and losing to Argentina (1–5).[19] Nevertheless, internal corruption and the commotion caused by the international crisis of the time caused the national team that played in Argentina in 1929 to be formed by favoritism rather than by actual skill.[20] A year later, la Blanquirroja was invited by FIFA to participate in a new intercontinental competition to be held in Uruguay, the first World Cup.[21]

1930s Golden generation

In the 1930 FIFA World Cup, although the Peruvian team was not able to get past the group stages, the general populace of Uruguay was surprised by the good performance of the Peruvians.[22] By 1934, the skill of the Peruvian players attained popularity beyond South America's borders, and in March of that year the national squad (composed mainly of players from Universitario de Deportes, Alianza Lima, and Atletico Chalaco) united with the Chilean squad (formed mainly by players from Colo Colo) to form the Combinado del Pacifico. The Combinado made a tour in the European countries of England, Germany, France, and Spain until August 1935, and Teodoro Fernandez became the team's top goal scorer with 48 goals in 39 games.[23]

During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Peru made a great start by defeating Finland with a margin of 7–3. Among the line of players featured in this parcipation of Peru were Teodoro Fernández, Alejandro Villanueva, Juan Valdivieso, and Adelfo Magallanes.[24] Next, the Peruvians upset the pre-tournament favorites Austria, 4–2 after extra time. However, the International Olympic Committee controversially nullified the result and ordered a re-match, and the complete delegations of Peru and Colombia left Germany in protest.[25][26] To this day it is not known with certainty what exactly happened at Germany, but it is popularly believed that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi authorities were involved.[25]

In 1938, Peru won its first international title during the first Bolivarian Games, which Peru won after sweeping the participants Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela.[27] Afterwards, la Blanquirroja won Peru's first South American Championship (later known as Copa América) in 1939. Once again, the national squad lost none of its matches in their path to the final by defeating Ecuador, Chile, and Paraguay. The last game was played against Uruguay, and the Peruvians managed to beat the Uruguayans by a close score of 2–1.[28] With this result, Peru became the fourth nation after Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil to win the famed South American tournament.

Good football, few titles

Peru's early football years after the 1930s did not involve any other major accomplishments. In 1941, Peru and Argentina played a series of three games for the Copa Roque Saenz Peña in Lima, and a struggling Peru managed to draw twice before finally losing the third match 3–0.[29] The national squad's slow change and bad situation was most obvious during the early South American Championships of the 1940s. By 1941, la Blanquirroja still had effective but old players like Teodoro Fernández in their lines.[30] In 1947, the squad regained their title of champions at the Bolivarian Games.[27] Nevertheless, Peru would not get close to achieving another international title until 1949, when Peru gained third after defeating Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Uruguay in the South American Championship held in Brazil.[31]

By the 1950s, Peru once again found itself a major protagonist in South American football, considered to be among the top 20 of the decade.[5] In the Pan-American Championship of 1952 the Peruvians defeated Panama and Mexico, tied Brazil, and lost to Chile and Uruguay by minimal differences.[32] Players such as Alberto Terry, Guillermo Barbadillo, Valeriano López, Félix Castillo, and Óscar Gómez Sánchez brought in a competitive game to the Peruvian team of the 1950s. During 1953 and 1954, Peru achieved its only two titles of the 1950s thanks to the Copa del Pacifico after losing and winning two times against Chile.[32] In the South American Championship of 1955, this national squad led a campaign that made them reach third place in Chile.[33] Nonetheless, 1956 turned out as more of a slip for the team as they failed to win games in the Pan-American Championship held in Mexico and the South American Championship of Montevideo.[32] The last years of the 1950s continued the good football of la Blanquirroja as they reached fourth place in the South American Championships of 1957 and 1959, and defeated England by a score of 4–1.[32][34][35]

During the 1960s Peru began to slowly show signs of further improvement as the team won the Bolivarian Games of Barranquilla and qualified for the 1960 Summer Olympics held in Rome.[27] Yet, these were the only achievements of this decade as Peru failed to place in the top four spots of the 1963 South American Championship, failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cups of Chile and England, and failed to regain the title of the Copa del Pacifico. However, things would soon improve.

1970s Golden generation

The story of the 1970s golden generation started in late 1969, when la Blanquirroja managed to qualify for the Mexico 1970 World Cup. Thanks to the goals of "Cachito" Ramírez, the squad managed what seemed impossible by tying Argentina at a game popularly known as "La Bombonera" (in reference to the Estadio Alberto J. Armando where the game was played).[36] The squad managed by "Didi" Pereira followed a 4-2-4 formation that was generally composed of José Fernández, Orlando de la Torre, Héctor Chumpitaz, and Nicolás Fuentes as the defenders; Ramón Mifflin and Roberto Challe as the midfielders; Julio Baylón, Pedro Pablo León, Teófilo Cubillas, and Alberto Gallardo as the forwards; and Luis Rubiños as the goalkeeper.[37]

The participation of Peru in the 1970 FIFA World Cup remains as one of the most memorable as the squad caused surprise as they advanced into the quarterfinals after defeating Bulgaria 3–2 and Morocco 3–0, and losing 3–1 to Germany.[32] Although Peru lost the quarterfinal game to Brazil by 4–2, la Blanquirroja would go on to win the Copa del Pacifico, were invited to participate in the Brazil Independence Cup, and won the Copa Mariscal Sucre.[32] Additionally, the squad would achieve South American glory as they achieved their second Copa America in 1975.[38]

In 1978, la Blanquirroja once again qualified for a World Cup. The squad led by Marcos Calderón was somewhat different in structure from the early 70s with a 4-4-2 formation. Jaime Duarte, Héctor Chumpitaz, Rubén Díaz, and Germán Leguía were on the defense; César Cueto, Percy Rojas, Teófilo Cubillas, and José Velásquez on the midfield; Juan José Muñante, Juan Carlos Oblitas, Guillermo La Rosa, and Hugo Sotil on the attack; and Ramón Quiroga as the goalkeeper.[39]

Prior to the World Cup, the national squad defeated varied opponents such as China and Hungary.[32] Once into the World Cup finals, Peru reached the top of their group after defeating Scotland (3–1), tying with the Netherlands (0–0), and defeating Iran (4–1).[39] However, once into the second round, Peru lost its earlier energy and ended last in the group after losing to Brazil (0–3), Poland (0–1), and to Argentina (0–6) in a controversial match that some claim was bought by Argentina's military junta.[39][40] Afterwards, the squad would go on to play some international friendlies to prepare for the Copa America of 1979; they would tie Scotland at Glasgow (1–1) and defeat Uruguay in Lima (2–0). Nonetheless, by the time this new tournament started, Peru was eliminated by Chile. This great era in Peruvian football would end with a 1–0 loss against Mexico at Monterrey.[32]

From glory to decline

The national team continued to occasionally shine in the 1980s. La Blanquirroja managed to successfully qualify for the 1982 FIFA World Cup at the expense of Colombia and Uruguay, the recent Mundialito winners.[41] Under the direction of Elba de Padua Lima, the Peruvians won the Copa del Pacifico and led a European and African tour in which la Blanquirroja defeated Hungary (2–1), France (1–0), tied Algeria (1–1), and upon their return defeated Romania (2–0).[32] Tim's squad was composed of a 4-4-2 formation with Jaime Duarte, Ruben Díaz, Salvador Salguero, and Jorge Olaechea in the defense; César Cueto, José Velásquez, Julio César Uribe, and Teófilo Cubillas on the midfield; Gerónimo Barbadillo and Juan Carlos Oblitas as the forwards; and Ramón Quiroga as the goalkeeper.[42]

Once in the World Cup of Spain, the team did not perform well as they tied with Cameroon and Italy, and lost 5–1 against Poland.[42] Afterwards, Peru would face a string of bad results, but nearly qualified to the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[32] The Peruvians needed a victory against Argentina in order to directly qualify to the World Cup, but Diego Maradona pulled off a tie that led Peru to seek qualification through a play-off game against Chile. La Blanquirroja were defeated both at Chile and Peru, and that put an end to Peruvian aspirations for this tournament. From that point on until the 1990s, Peru's only major title won was that against India in the Nehru Cup.[32]

The 1987 Alianza Lima air disaster further crushed the hopes for the team as a series of good players ready to play for Peru and the national team's coach Marcos Calderón (among others) died.[43] The situation of Peru would not improve from that point as a series of ties and defeats came one after the other.[32] Nevertheless, a change took sudden place in the late 1990s as Peru reached fourth place at the 1997 Copa America and nearly qualified to the 1998 World Cup, as they simply lost a chance to appear in the tournament due to a goal difference with Chile.[44] Later, the team would win the Kirin Cup in 1999 and reached the quarterfinals of the Copa America of that same year.[45] Players like Nolberto Solano, Andrés Mendoza, Flavio Maestri, Roberto Palacios, Claudio Pizarro, and José del Solar made somewhat of a positive difference during these years.[45]

Present

The 21st century began with the same Peruvian squad of the late 90s. In 2000, Peru was invited to compete in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, where the team enjoyed a surprisingly good performance, reaching the semifinals of the North American competition.[46] Peruvian football showed signs of improvement as time went on. Peruvian league teams had good performances in international competition, including Cienciano's 2003-04 conquest of the Copa Sudamericana and the Recopa Sudamericana.[47] Peru won another Kirin Cup in 2005, but was unable to get past the quarterfinal stage of three consecutive Copa Americas in 2001, 2004, and 2007.[32] The team did not qualify for the 2002 or 2006 editions of the FIFA World Cup.

In 2007, Peru's U-17 squad surprised the nation by qualifying for and reaching the quarterfinals of the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup. In contrast to this success, 2008 saw the main team at the bottom of the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup. A corruption and indiscipline scandal shook the national team as Peruvian journalists Jaime Bayly and Magaly Medina revealed that a series of Peru's most recognized players, including Claudio Pizarro, Andrés Mendoza, Santiago Acasiete, Paolo Guerrero and Jefferson Farfan, were seen at nightclubs and parties only days before the team was scheduled to play qualifier matches. Several players were banned from playing for the national team while others were put under investigation.[48][49]

In a further blow to the team's reputation, in November 2008, FIFA suspended several officials of the FPF and the Peruvian football league, the referees of the latter, as well as barring the national team from participating in international competition, under allegations of irregularities between the FPF, the IPD, and the Peruvian government.[50] The president of the IPD, Arturo Woodman, and the Peruvian government had made re-election of FPF president Manuel Burga illegal under allegations of corruption. The FPF later reappointed Burga, with the backing of FIFA.[51] After the FPF and IPD agreed to discuss the matter and reach a solution, FIFA president Sepp Blatter lifted the bans and restrictions.[52]

As a result of the debacle, Peru was stripped of its opportunity to host the 2009 South American Youth Championship; the tournament was held in Venezuela instead. Peru's hopes of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup were dashed early on, as the team was the first CONMEBOL squad to be eliminated from the finals. The Peruvian sports press dubbed the current squad the "Sons of Burga", in reference to the FPF's president, who was blamed for Peru's terrible qualifying campaign. The press went on to name the squad the worst in the national team's 82-year history, additionally calling for Burga's resignation.[53][54][55]

Stadium

Main article: Estadio Nacional (Lima)
View of the Estadio Nacional's northern stand and tower.

The Estadio Nacional, also known as the Coloso de José Díaz, is a 45,574-spectator stadium located in Lima that acts as the traditional home of the Peruvian team and the National Stadium of Peru.[56] On July 18, 1897, the field was inaugurated and named Estadio Guadalupe. The Liga Peruana de Futbol (which later became the FPF) used it for the first football tournaments held in Lima. In 1921, under the embellecimiento (beautifying) process for Lima under the presidency of Augusto B. Leguía, the stadium was renovated and renamed the Estadio Nacional de Peru.[57] Later, under the government of Manuel Odría, the stadium was reconstructed and officially re-inaugurated on October 27, 1952.[58]

During the preparations for the U-17 championship, artificial turf was installed as a means of making the stadium look in better shape. Nonetheless, the artificial turf remained in the Estadio Nacional. In the year of 2005, Peru held the privilege of holding four of the eight "Star II" (the highest certification granted to artificial pitches in the world) artificial turf stadiums in the world.[59] Even though the national stadium was one of the four Peruvian stadiums that received the "Star II" certification,[60] it has received heavy criticism from clubs of the Primera División Peruana because of the alleged injuries it causes to players.[61]

The national team occasionally selects other stadiums as its home venue. The thin atmosphere at the high-altitude Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco or the balmy Amazonic climate of the Estadio Max Augustín in Iquitos provide strategic advantages against certain rivals.[62] Other stadiums in Lima are sometimes used to bring the team closer to certain communities in the city, such as Alianza Lima's Estadio Alejandro Villanueva[63] In recent times, Universitario's Estadio Monumental "U" is most often selected for home matches due to controversy over the National Stadium's artificial turf playing surface.[61]

Peru has played at four FIFA World Cup finals, the first in 1930 and the last in 1982.[64]

In the 1930 la Blanquirroja lost both of its matches. During the match against Romania, Peru's Placido Galindo became the first player to be sent off during a World Cup.[65]

In 1970, the team led by "Didi" Pereira beat Bulgaria 3–2 after trailing 0–2 at half-time,[66] beat Morocco 3–0, lost to Germany 1–3, and were finally eliminated by Brazil 4–2 in the quarterfinal match.[67][68]

Peru qualified for the 1978 cup held in Argentina, where they beat Scotland 3–1[69][70] and infamously lost to Argentina in a game that is claimed to have been set-up by the military junta that governed Argentina during those times.[71] Peru qualified in first place from its group after also drawing with the Netherlands at 0–0 and beating Iran 4–1.[72][73]

By the time the Spain 1982 World Cup came, the Peruvian squad was seen as a strong contender, but ties with Cameroon and Italy and defeat by Poland (5–1) saw them leave the tournament early.[74]

Copa América record

Main article: Peru at the Copa América

After joining CONMEBOL in 1925, Peru has hosted the Copa América six times and won it twice. Peru has had two top goalscorers for the tournament, Teodoro Fernández (7 goals, 1939) and Eduardo Malasquez (3 goals, 1983).[75] The 1927 tournament was the first hosted by Peru, followed by the 1935, 1939, 1957 and the 2004 tournaments.

In 1939 Peru achieved its first Copa América title by defeating Ecuador 5–2, Chile 3–1, and Paraguay 3–0 in order to reach the final. With skilled players like Teodoro Fernández and Jorge Alcalde, Peru defeated Uruguay in the final by the close score of 2–1.[76] With this result, Peru became the fourth nation, after Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, to win the Copa América.

In 1975, the Peruvians won the first Copa América held without a fixed venue by defeating Chile and Bolivia in the group stages, Brazil at the Mineirão by a score of 3–1 with the goals of Enrique Casaretto and Teófilo Cubillas in the semifinals, and, after being randomly chosen in a sorting between it and Brazil,[77] defeated Colombia in two out of three games played for the final. La Blanquirroja lost the first leg of the final played at Colombia, but won the second match at Lima and a final third match at Caracas thanks to the goals of Juan Carlos Oblitas, Oswaldo Ramírez, and Hugo Sotil.[77]

Aside from these two victories, Peru's best place in the tournament have been four third places, two in 1927 and 1935 in Peru, one in 1949 in Brazil, and the last in 1955 in Chile. When the tournaments once again began to be hosted by individual countries, Peru's best place was in 1997 when they gained fourth place after losing to Mexico for the third place match. In 2004, Peru once again hosted the tournament, but did not manage to get beyond the quarterfinals. This same story would repeat itself in 2007, and now the team looks on to the 2011 tournament to be held in Argentina.

Aside from FIFA or CONMEBOL sponsored tournaments, the Peru has been invited to join a variety of tournaments throughout the world. In 1938, Peru participated and won at the inaugural Bolivarian Games, and would win it four more times before the tournament was officially restricted to U-21 teams.[78] Later, in 1986, Peru was invited to participate in its first Asian tournament, the Nehru Cup of India. In 1989, Peru gained third place in the Copa Centenario de Armenia 1989, which took place in the city of Armenia, Colombia.[79] That same year Peru won second place in the Marlboro Cup.[80] Eight years later, Peru was invited to join the 1997 U.S. Cup in which they beat the United States 1–0, lost to Denmark 1–2, and tied with Mexico (the eventual champions of the competition) 0–0.[81]

In the year 2000, the team was invited to join the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament along with Colombia and South Korea.[82] Positioned in Group B of the tournament, Peru had a bad start at as the squad tied 1–1 with Haiti, and lost to the United States 1-0.[82] Surprisingly, this was enough for Peru to advance and face Honduras, which had ended first in their group.[82] Peru won this quarterfinals match with a surprising 5–3 result.[83] The final match of the team turned out disastrous as the Peruvian defenders made a series of mistakes, including an own goal, and the only goal of Peru against Colombia came thanks to Roberto Palacios; Colombia defeated Peru 2–1.[84]

In 1999 and 2005, Peru was invited to join an event hosted in Japan known as the Kirin Cup. This event would become the third international tournament, after the Copa America and the Bolivarian Games, in which Peru would emerge victorious. In 1999, la Blanquirroja achieved a shared first place with Belgium after tying with Belgium (1–1) and Japan (0–0).[85] In 2005, Peru gained another shared first place, this time with the United Arab Emirates, after defeating Japan (1–0) and tying with the United Arab Emirates (0–0).[86]

Uniform

Peru's colors are red and white.[87] The team's first football kit was made for the 1927 South American Championship, and it consisted of white shorts and a shirt with vertical stripes. The second football kit was made for the 1930 FIFA World Cup held in Uruguay, and was an all white kit with a red collar. The third kit was made for the 1935 South American Championship, with the only difference from its prior kit being a horizontal red stripe. Peru's current kit was made for the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, and it consists of a red stripe that crosses the chest diagonally from the left shoulder to the hip's right.[4]

Rivalries

Main article: Chile and Peru football rivalry

Peru holds major regional rivalries with Chile and Ecuador. Territorial, maritime, and cultural disputes have led to a large football rivalry between Chile and Peru since the ending of the War of the Pacific. Additionally, both nations dispute the origin of the football move known as the bicycle kick.[88] Their games, considered by CNN to be among the top ten rivalries in the world,[88] have gained the nickname of Clasico del Pacifico, meaning the "Derby of the Pacific," and a trophy named Copa del Pacifico is disputed whenever both national teams play.[2][32] Peru's rivalry with Ecuador, derived from various historical border conflicts between the two countries, has led to highly competitive games nicknamed "The Pride Match." However, the rivalry tends to be greater from the Ecuadorian side.[3]

Main article: List of Peru international footballers

According to CONMEBOL, Peruvian teams are often said to play with much technique and elegance, generally making them one of the finest exponents of South American football.[91] Among the notable players of the team are center forwards Teodoro Fernández, Valeriano López, and Pedro Pablo León;[91][92] second strikers like Alejandro Villanueva, Jorge Alcalde, and Hugo Sotil;[91][92][93] wingers like Juan Carlos Oblitas, Juan Joya and Juan Seminario, among others.[94][95][96] Recently, strikers such as Jefferson Farfán and Paolo Guerrero have attained international fame.[92] Along with a good quantity of forwards, the Peruvian squad has also enjoyed a series of creative and effective midfielders such as Alberto Terry, Teófilo Cubillas, César Cueto, Roberto Challe, Julio César Uribe, and Nolberto Solano.[91][92][97][98] In the defense, the Blanquirroja has had players such as Héctor Chumpitaz, Julio Meléndez, and Peru's current star Juan Manuel Vargas.[91][99][100] In terms of historic goalkeepers, the team's popular figures are Juan Valdivieso, José Soriano, and Ramón Quiroga.[92][101][102]

Records

Main article: Peru national football team records
The Fairplay Trophy award that FIFA gave Peru in the 1970 FIFA World Cup.

Roberto Palacios holds Peru's records for most appearances with the national team, having played 122 times between 1992 and 2007. Héctor Chumpitaz, with 105 appearances, and Jorge Soto, with 101 appearances, follow in second and third respectively. For goalkeepers, Oscar Ibañez holds the most appearances with 50 caps, followed by Miguel Miranda (47 caps) and Ramón Quiroga (40 caps).[103]

Teófilo Cubillas holds the team's record of top goalscorer with 26 goals in 81 appearances. Teodoro Fernández is in second, but holds a better goal per appearance average with 24 goals in 32 appearances. Recently retired from the national team and in third place is Nolberto Solano, who has 20 goals in 89 appearances.[103]

Hugo Sotil, Héctor Chumpitaz, and Teófilo Cubillas were the three players of the Peruvian football team that were part of the starting line-up of the America national football team that played against the Europe national football team in 1973 at the Nou Camp of FC Barcelona. Sotil scored America's second goal, and Chumpitaz scored the tying goal (4–4); America beat Europe 7-6 in the penalty rounds.[104]

The largest margin of victory achieved by Peru is a 9–1 score against Ecuador in the inaugural Bolivarian Games. The team's record defeat took place in the 1997 Copa América, when Brazil defeated Peru by a score of 7–0.[32]

Peru is the first team that received a FIFA Fair Play Trophy. The Peruvians received the award in the 1970 FIFA World Cup due to them being the only team that received no yellow or red cards in their games.[105]

Fixtures

Memorable games

The Blanquirroja has had plenty of memorable matches throughout its history. Among the earliest is the 1936 game Austria v Peru, in which the Peruvians won by a score of 4–2 in a controversial match that to this day holds a mystery relating to what actually happened in said game.[24] In FIFA World Cup qualifications, Peru's memorable games include the infamous 1–2 loss to Bolivia in 1969, which match referee Sergio Chechelev later admitted to having been paid by Argentina in order to give Bolivia the victory;[106] and the 2–2 tie with Argentina in 1969 known popularly in Peru as La Bombonera.[107]

Although Peru has had only four appearances to the FIFA World Cup, a series of their few games are remembered by fans. In the 1970 World Cup, the national squad overcame Bulgaria 3–2 after trailing 0–2,[108] and lost to Brazil 4–2 in the quarterfinals match. For the 1978 World Cup, the game Scotland v Peru is famously remembered as the Peruvians overcame the Scottish squad by a score of 3–1,[109] and the game Argentina v Peru is infamously remembered as a match which the Peruvians were allegedly paid to lose by the Argentinean military junta with a score of 0–6.[110]
