'''International football''' generally refers to [[association football]] matches between representative national teams carried out under the regulation of the ''[[Fédération Internationale de Football Association]]'' (FIFA). |
|||
The '''Peru national football team''' represents [[Peru]] in [[FIFA|international]] [[Association Football|football]] competition and is managed by the [[Peruvian Football Federation]] (FPF). The team competes against the other nine members of [[FIFA]]'s [[CONMEBOL]] conference, which encompasses the countries of [[South America]]. The Peruvian team's performance has been inconsistent, although it is considered to have enjoyed two successful periods in the 1930s and 1970s.<ref name="Witzig">Witzig, p. 349</ref> |

Founded in 1927, the Peru national football team plays its home matches primarily at the [[Estadio Nacional (Lima)|Estadio Nacional]] in [[Lima, Peru|Lima]]. Peru has won the [[Copa América]] [[Peru at the Copa América|twice]], qualified for [[Peru at the FIFA World Cup|four FIFA World Cup]] tournaments, and participated in [[Peru at the Olympics|two Olympic]] tournaments.

Early in its history, Peru participated in [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] tournaments and enjoyed victories in the [[1938 Bolivarian Games]] and the [[1939 South American Championship|1939 Copa América]], when it was led by [[Teodoro Fernández]], [[Juan Valdivieso]], and [[Alejandro Villanueva]].<ref name="Witzig"/> Peruvian football's successful period in the 1970s brought Peru back to world recognition, with players such as [[Héctor Chumpitaz]], [[Hugo Sotil]], and [[Teófilo Cubillas]].<ref name="FIFA Peru">{{cite web|title=Peru|publisher=FIFA.com | url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/southamerica/teams/team=43929/index.html | accessdate=2007-10-20}}</ref><ref name="BBC Sport">{{cite web | title=The slide of Peruvian football|publisher=BBC |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2008/11/the_slide_of_peruvian_football.html| accessdate=2009-02-14}}</ref> This team qualified for three FIFA World Cups and won the [[1975 Copa América|Copa América in 1975]]. |

Peru's [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982 World Cup]] participation was its last to date: the national team has not since won a major tournament or participated in a World Cup tournament. The team was temporarily suspended from international participation by FIFA in late 2008 due to allegations of corruption involving government sport authorities and the FPF. Peru has currently appointed Uruguayan [[Sergio Markarián]] as its head coach and, after achieving third place at the [[2011 Copa América]], seeks to qualify for the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]]. |

{{main|History of the Peru national football team}} |

[[Association Football|Football]] was introduced in Peru by British immigrants and by Peruvians returning from [[England]] in the nineteenth century.<ref name=sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe>{{cite web|url=http://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/BibVirtual/Tesis/Human/Alvarez_E_T/Cap2.htm|lang=es|title=La difusión del fútbol en Lima.|accessdate=2008-08-12 |publisher=sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe}}</ref> In 1859, the British community of the Peruvian capital founded the [[Lima Cricket Club]], a [[sports club]] dedicated to the practice of cricket, hockey, tennis, and football.{{efn-ua|The Lima Cricket and Football Club also claims the title of being oldest football club in [[the Americas]].}}{{sfn|Higgins|2005|pp=130}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mailservicepro2.com/clublimacricket/tempo/quienes-somos/|lang=es|title=El Club: Datos y Anécdotas|accessdate=2013-19-01 |publisher=Clublimacricket.com}}</ref> In nearby [[Callao]], then an important [[Pacific Ocean]] port,<ref>Roel, p. 124</ref> English sailors used their free time to play football with the local ''Chalacos'' (people from Callao).{{efn-ua|During these games, the locals possibly invented the move known as the ''chalaca'' (short for "Chalacan Strike"), or [[bicycle kick]].}}<ref name="El Periodico de Mexico">{{es icon}}{{cite web |url=http://www.elperiodicodemexico.com/nota.php?sec=Deportes&id=55799|title=¿Chilena o chalaca?... esa es la cuestión|accessdate=2008-01-16 |work=Elperiodicodemexico.com}}</ref> A growing [[sports rivalry]] soon developed between foreigners and ''Chalacos'', and overtime this transformed into a football rivalry between Callao and Lima.<ref name="sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe" />{{sfn|Goldblatt|2006|pp=135}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesp/peruhist.html|title=Peru-List of Final Tables|accessdate=2008-08-12|publisher=rsssf.com }}</ref> However, the lack of a centralized organization caused constant conflicts among the clubs, and one such conflict resulted in the creation of the [[Peruvian Football Federation]] (FPF) in 1922 and a [[Peruvian Primera División|Peruvian Football League]] tournament, regulated by the FPF, in 1926.<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://fpf.org.pe/|title=Historia|accessdate=2008-08-12|publisher=fpf.org.pe}}</ref> |

Thanks to the significant British population in Peru, the acceptance of the game by the local elite, and the sport's rapid development among the urban poor of the [[La Victoria District, Lima|La Victoria]] district in Lima (due to the 1901 foundation of [[Alianza Lima]]), Peru formed the strongest footballing culture in the Andean region.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2006|pp=135}} However, even though the FPF joined the [[South American Football Confederation]] (CONMEBOL) in 1925, financial problems prevented the formation of a national football team until 1927.<ref name="Pulgar Vidal, ''La Seleccion...''">{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=La Seleccion Peruana de 1924| publisher=Jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com| url=http://jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com/2007/10/la-seleccin-peruana-de-1924.html | accessdate=2009-02-14}}</ref> The ensuing decade saw the first golden era of Peruvian football.{{sfn|Witzig|2006|pp=349}} Various Peruvian clubs toured [[Latin America]], and Peruvian football players gained international recognition for their talent.<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://www.clubalianzalima.com/pages/hist1921.asp|title=Historia Blanquiazul: 1921–1960|accessdate=2008-08-12|publisher=clubalianzalima.com}}<br />{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://peru.com/futbol/seleccion/historia/futbolistas/tfernandez.asp|title=Teodoro 'Lolo' Fernandez|accessdate=2009-06-30|publisher=Peru.com}}<br />{{es icon}} {{cite web|url=http://www.futbolvenezolanoaldia.5u.com/paginas/histo.htm|title=Un Poco de Historia|accessdate=2008-08-20|publisher=Futbolvenezolanoaldia.5u.com}}<br />{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://www.mipunto.com/deportes/futbol/venezuela/historia.jsp|title=L historia del futbol venezolano|accessdate=2008-08-20|publisher=Mipunto.com}}<br />{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://www.arcotriunfal.com/888/58_anos_de_futbol_profesional.html|title=58 años de fútbol profesional|accessdate=2008-03-17|publisher=Arcotriunfal.com}}</ref> Peru further awed audiences at the inaugural FIFA World Cup and the [[1936 Berlin Summer Olympics]],<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=Minuto a minuto | publisher=Elcomercio.com | url=http://www.elcomercio.com.pe/edicionimpresa/Html/2007-08-05/imecnacional0765460.html| accessdate=2009-02-17}}</ref> and finished the decade as winners of the inaugural [[Bolivarian Games]] (1938) and [[1939 South American Championship|South American champions]].{{efn-ua|Peru became the fourth nation to win the South American championship (later renamed Copa América), after Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.}}<ref name="Rsssf.com, ''Bolivarian Games''">{{cite web | title=Bolivarian Games: Soccer Tournament| publisher=Rsssf.com| url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesb/bolivarianos.html| accessdate=2009-02-15}}</ref><ref name="Rsssf.com, ''Southamerican Championship 1939''">{{cite web | title=Southamerican Championship 1939 | publisher=RSSSF.com | url=http://www.rsssf.com/tables/39safull.html| accessdate=2009-02-17}}</ref> |

After nearly four decades of sparse achievements and narrow eliminations in World Cup qualifiers ([[1958 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL – Group 1)|1958]], [[1962 FIFA World Cup qualification|1962]], and [[1966 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL)|1966]]), Peru entered another golden era in late 1969, qualifying for the [[1970 FIFA World Cup|Mexico 1970 World Cup]] at the expense of Bolivia and Argentina.<ref>{{cite web | title=The silence of the Bombonera| publisher=FIFA.com| url=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=735839.html| accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> In the tournament, Peru reached the quarterfinals and earned the first [[FIFA Fair Play Trophy]].<ref name="BBC Sport" /><ref name="RSSSF, ''International Results''" /> Afterwards, Peru won its second [[1975 Copa América|Copa América in 1975]] and qualified for the [[1978 FIFA World Cup|Argentina 1978 World Cup]], eliminating traditional rivals Chile and Ecuador.<ref>{{cite web | title=Southamerican Championship 1975| publisher=Rsssf.com| url=http://www.rsssf.com/tables/75safull.html| accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> In this World Cup, Peru ended as group leaders, but were eliminated in the second round.<ref name="RSSSF, ''World Cup 1978''" /> The team next qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup|Spain 1982 World Cup]], eliminating Uruguay (the [[1980 Mundialito]] winners) and Colombia.<ref>{{cite web | title=Mundialito 1980 (Montevideo, Uruguay)| publisher=Rsssf.com| url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesm/mund80.html| accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> The team then prepared by touring Europe and Africa, defeating Hungary (2–1) and France (1–0), and tying [[Algeria national football team|Algeria]] (1–1); upon returing home, Peru defeated Romania (2–0).<ref name="RSSSF, ''International Results''" /> However, Peru was eliminated in the World Cup's Group Stage, ending a period when the team's "flowing football was admired across the globe."<ref name="RSSSF, ''World Cup 1982 Finals''" /><ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=BOwQ82EArigC&pg=PA120&dq=1983+Copa+America&hl=en&ei=ikYwTqC-Lcjh0QHbq7SGAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Peru&f=false Soccer: The Ultimate Guide] Page 75</ref> |

Subsequent years proved unfavorable to Peru. The national side missed the Mexico 1986 World Cup after losing a play-off match against Chile.

At present, Peru remains unable to qualify for a World Cup and has struggled with various [[Peru national football team indiscipline scandals|player indiscipline scandals]].

The ''Estadio Nacional'' (National Stadium), also known as the ''Coloso de José Díaz'', is a 45,000-spectator stadium located in [[Lima]] that acts as the traditional home of the Peruvian team and the National Stadium of Peru.<ref name="EstadioNacional2011">{{cite web | url=http://www.conmebol.com/eliminatoriamundialfifa/El-renacer-de-un-gigante-del-futbol-20110726-0002.html| title=Estadio Nacional de Lima: el renacer de un gigante del fútbol| publisher=Conmebol.com| accessdate=2011-08-02}}</ref> The stadium, a gift from [[England]], opened on July 18, 1897, as the ''Estadio Guadalupe''.<ref>http://www.conmebol.com/eliminatoriamundialfifa/El-renacer-de-un-gigante-del-futbol-20110726-0002.html</ref><ref name="ReferenceA">Goldblatt</ref> The Peruvian Football League (which later became the [[Peruvian Football Federation]]) used it for the first official football tournaments, which were held in Lima.

The national team occasionally selects other stadiums as its home venue.

Peru's uniform has been manufactured by eight separate companies. In 1978, [[Adidas]] became the first official manufacturer. During the 1980s, Peru had contracts with Brazilian company [[Penalty (Brazilian sports manufacturer)|Penalty]] (1981–1982), Adidas (1983–1985), two deals with Calvo Sportwear (1987) and Power (1989–1991). In the 1990s, Peru contracted with [[Diadora]] (1991–1992), local manufacturer Polmer (1993–1995) and [[Umbro]] (1996–1997). It also had a long-term contract with local company [[Walon Sport]] (1998–2010). Among other designs, Walon produced the 1998 version with folkloric designs and the 2003 version that was similar to the Adidas kits.<ref name="Arkivperu.com, ''La Blanquiroja''"/> From July 2010, Umbro has produced the kits for Peru. The new uniform was presented on September 4, 2010, in the friendly against Canada.<ref>{{cite web | title=Selección estrenará camiseta en amistoso | publisher=Peru.com | url=http://www.peru.com/cyberperiodista/cyberperiodista/sgi/portada/2010/07/22/detalle8594.aspx| accessdate=2010-08-11}}</ref> |

The Peruvian team has regional rivalries with [[Chile national football team|Chile]] and [[Ecuador national football team|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]].

Peru's first manager, Uruguayan [[Pedro Olivieri]], was appointed for the [[1927 South American Championship]] held in Peru. Its first victory in the continental tournament was attained in 1939 under the management of Englishman [[Jack Greenwell]], who also led the national squad to their first international title during the [[Bolivarian Games]] of 1938. When the South American Championship was renamed [[Copa América]] in 1975, Peruvian [[Marcos Calderón]] managed ''la Blanquirroja'' to its last, to date, continental title. |
|||
During its first World Cup appearance (1930), Peru was managed by Spaniard [[Francisco Bru]].<ref name="1930 FIFA World Cup Uruguay"/> Other World Cup managers include Brazilian [[Valdir Pereira]] (1970),<ref name="1970 FIFA World Cup Mexico"/> [[Marcos Calderón]] (1978),<ref name="1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina"/> and Brazilian [[Elba de Pádua Lima]] (1982).<ref name="1982 FIFA World Cup Spain"/> Both Pereira and Calderón progressed past the first round of the competition but, to date, Pereira's quarterfinal finish is Peru's best World Cup participation. |
|||
In the [[Kirin Cup]] invitational tournament, Peru has obtained three titles under separate management. The first was obtained in 1999 under Colombian manager [[Francisco Maturana]], the second in 2005 under Peruvian [[Freddy Ternero]], and the third in 2011 under Uruguayan [[Sergio Markarián]]. |
