'''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.{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} |

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]].{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} 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]]. |

== History == |
|||
{{main|History of the Peru national football team}} |
|||
[[Association Football|Football]] was introduced in Peru during the nineteenth century by British immigrants and Peruvians returning from [[England]].<ref name=sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe>{{cite web|url=http://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/BibVirtual/Tesis/Human/Alvarez_E_T/Cap2.htm|language=Spanish|title=La difusión del fútbol en Lima.|accessdate=2008-08-12 |publisher=sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe}}</ref> In 1859, the British community of [[Lima]] (Peru's capital) founded the [[Lima Cricket Club]], a [[sports club]] for practicing 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|p=130}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mailservicepro2.com/clublimacricket/tempo/quienes-somos/|language=Spanish|title=El Club: Datos y Anécdotas|accessdate=2013-19-01 |publisher=Clublimacricket.com}}</ref> In the nearby port city of [[Callao]], English sailors played the sport with the local ''chalaco'' workers.{{efn-ua|''Chalaco'' is the [[demonym]] of the people from Callao. During these games, the Peruvians possibly invented the move known as the ''chalaca'' (meaning "from Callao"), or [[bicycle kick]].{{sfn|DK Publishing|2011|p=100}} }} [[Sports rivalries]] arose in Callao, between ''chalacos'' and foreigners, and in Lima, between elites and urban workers. Overtime, as the foreigners departed, this became a rivalry between Callao and Lima.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|pp=135-136}}<ref name="sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe" />{{sfn|Stein|2011|pp=3-4}} Due to these several factors, including the sport's rapid development among the urban poor of Lima's [[La Victoria District, Lima|La Victoria]] district (thanks to the foundation of [[Alianza Lima]] in 1901), Peru formed the strongest footballing culture in the Andean region.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=135}} |
|||
In 1912, the first [[Peruvian Primera División|Peruvian Football League]] tournament was organized, lasting until conflicts among the teams discontinued the league in 1921.{{sfn|Murray|1994|p=127}} Consequently, in 1922 a central organization was created, the [[Peruvian Football Federation]] (FPF),{{efn-ua|The acronym FPF comes from the organization's Spanish name, ''Federación Peruana de Futbol''.}} to take charge of the troubled Peruvian Football League tournament in 1926.<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web|url=http://fpf.org.pe/|title=Historia|accessdate=2008-08-12|publisher=fpf.org.pe}}</ref> The FPF joined the [[South American Football Confederation]] (CONMEBOL) in 1925, and (after resolving financial problems) formed a national football team in 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> Peru debuted internationally in the [[1927 South American Championship]].{{sfn|LaBlanc|Henshaw|1994|p=237}} |
|||
During the 1930s, Peruvian football entered its first golden era.{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} Starting with [[Ciclista Lima]] in 1926, Peruvian clubs toured throughout [[Latin America]]. One of these tours, Alianza Lima's undefeated journey through Chile in 1935, saw the formation of "The Black Roller" (Spanish: ''El Rodillo Negro'') composed by players such as Alejandro Villanueva, Juan Valdivieso, and Teodoro Fernández.{{sfn|Basadre|1964|pp=4671-4673}}{{sfn|Miró|1958|p=66}} Sports historian Richard Witzig writes that these players "formed a soccer triumvirate unsurpassed in the world at that time".{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} Peru, which had a prior fair performance at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930,{{sfn|Basadre|1964|pp=4672-4673}} with ''El Rodillo Negro'' awed audiences at the [[1936 Summer Olympics]], won the inaugural [[Bolivarian Games]] in 1938, and finished the decade as [[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.}}{{sfn|Thorndike|1978|p=158}}<ref>{{cite web | author= Waldemar Iglesias | title= Cuando Perú Humilló a Hitler | publisher= Clarín.com | url=http://www.clarin.com/mision-olimpica/biPlaneta-RedondobibrCuando-Peru-humillo-Hitler_0_746925486.html | accessdate= 2013-04-01}}</ref> |
|||
Subsequent years proved lackluster for the Peruvian team. In the words of sports historian David Goldblatt, "despite all the apparent preconditions for footballing growth and success, Peruvian football disappeared." Goldblatt attributes this to the repression taken against "social, sporting and political organization among the urban and rural poor" during the 1940s and 50s.{{sfn|Goldblatt|2008|p=642}} |
|||
A staggering series of victories in the late 1960s, culminating in Peru's qualification to the [[1970 FIFA World Cup|Mexico 1970 World Cup]] at the expense of Bolivia and Argentina, brought Peru back to the world stage and into a second golden era.<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>{{sfn|Witzig|2006|p=349}} Led by players such as Héctor Chumpitaz, Hugo Sotil, and Teófilo Cubillas, Peru reached the tournament's quarterfinals (eliminated by eventual champions Brazil), and earned the first [[FIFA Fair Play Trophy]].<ref>{{cite journal | journal= Asian Recorder |year= 1970 |title= Fair Play Trophy for Peru | volume= 16 | location= New Delhi |publisher= K.K. Thomas at Recorder Press |doi= |url= |accessdate=13 May 2013}}</ref>{{sfn|Fiore|2012|p="El Nene" de Perú}} Soon thereafter, Peru won its second [[1975 Copa América|Copa América in 1975]] and qualified for the [[1978 FIFA World Cup|Argentina 1978 World Cup]] (eliminating rivals Chile and Ecuador), ultimately reaching the second round of the competition. The team's last major accomplishment was its qualification to the [[1982 FIFA World Cup|Spain 1982 World Cup]], eliminating Uruguay (the [[1980 Mundialito]] winners) and Colombia, but saw its participation end in the Group Stage. Peru's elimination marked the end of a period when the team's "flowing football was admired across the globe."{{sfn|DK Publishing|2010|p=75}} |
|||
Subsequent years proved unfavorable to Peru. The national side missed the Mexico 1986 World Cup after losing a play-off match against Chile. Tragedy struck on December 8, 1987, when the aircraft carrying [[Alianza Lima]]'s team and coaching staff [[1987 Alianza Lima air disaster|crashed into the Pacific Ocean]], with several young national team members and coach [[Marcos Calderón]] perishing as a result.<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=Trágicos accidentes se han llevado dos planteles de fútbol en el Perú: el de Alianza Lima y el de Juan Aurich de Chiclayo | publisher=Jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com| url=http://jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com/2007/09/trgicos-accidentes-se-han-llevado-dos.html| accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> Despite earning second place at the 1989 [[Marlboro Cup (soccer)|Marlboro Cup]] and placing third at the [[1997 U.S. Cup]],<ref name="Rsssf.com, ''Marlboro...''">{{cite web | title=Marlboro Cups (USA) 1987–1990 | publisher=Rsssf.com | url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesm/marlboro.html| accessdate=2009-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=USA Cup 1997| publisher=Rsssf.com| url=http://www.rsssf.com/tablesu/uscup97.html| accessdate=2009-03-17}}</ref> Peru did not get close to qualifying for a World Cup again until 1998, when it was eliminated due to a goal difference with Chile.<ref>{{cite web|title=World Cup 1998 qualifications|publisher=Rsssf.com|url=http://www.rsssf.com/tables/98qual.html#sam|accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> Afterwards, Peru won two [[Kirin Cup]] competitions (1999 and 2005), and earned third place at the 2000 [[Peru at the CONCACAF Gold Cup|CONCACAF Gold Cup]].<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup|publisher=Terra.com|url=http://www.terra.com/deportes/articulo/html/fox388189.htm| accessdate=2009-02-18}}</ref> |

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]]. Much of the blame for Peru's performance is placed on FPF President [[Manuel Burga]].<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=Perú cae ante Chile en Lima y confirma por qué es último en Sudamérica| publisher=Peru.com | url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/sgc/portada/2009/03/29/detalle28262.aspx| accessdate=2008-12-20}}</ref><ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=José "Chemo" del Solar bate un récord con Perú| publisher=Peru.com | url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/eliminatorias201020090610/38758/Jose-Chemo-del-Solar-bate-un-record-con-Peru| accessdate=2009-06-11}}</ref><ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=Prensa concuerda que Perú es el peor equipo de la historia| publisher=Peru.com | url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/portada20090611/38820/Prensa-concuerda-que-Peru-es-el-peor-equipo-de-la-historia| accessdate=2009-06-11}}</ref> In 2008, the Peruvian government charged Burga with corruption and made his re-election illegal.

Peru hosted the [[Copa América]] in 1927, 1935, 1939, 1953, 1957, 2004; and won it in 1939 and 1975. [[Demetrio Neyra]] scored the national team's first goal in the 1927 edition held in Lima.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cronicaviva.com.pe/index.php/component/content/article/62-roberto-salinas-comenta/21405-en-1928-empiezan-los-campeonatos-de-la-federacion-y-en-la-final-nacen-los-clasicos-alianza-u- |title=En 1928 empiezan los Campeonatos de la Federación y en la final nacen los Clásicos Alianza-"U"... |publisher=Cronicaviva.com.pe |date= |accessdate=2011-09-28}}</ref> The team boasts three tournament top scorers: [[Teodoro Fernández]] (7 goals, 1939), [[Eduardo Malásquez]] (3 goals, 1983), and [[Paolo Guerrero]] (5 goals, 2011).<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite news | title=FUTBOL-DATOS-Lista de goleadores históricos de la Copa América| agency=Reuters Mexico|accessdate=2011-07-26|url=http://mx.reuters.com/article/topNews/idMXN1E76N09R20110724|date=July 24, 2011}}</ref> Peru also has three [[hat-trick]] scorers: Teodoro Fernández (1939 and 1941), [[Miguel Loayza]] (1959), and Paolo Guerrero (2011).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.libero.pe/copa-america-2011/paolo-guerrero-esta-junto-lolo-fernandez-y-al-mago-loayza-en-la-historia-de-la-cop |title=Paolo Guerrero está junto a "Lolo" Fernández y al "Mago" Loayza en la historia de la Copa América | Copa América 2011 |publisher=Libero.pe |date=2011-07-23 |accessdate=2011-09-28}}</ref> |

In 1939, Peru achieved its first Copa América title, defeating Ecuador 5–2, Chile 3–1, and Paraguay 3–0 to reach the final. With players Teodoro Fernández and [[Jorge Alcalde]], Peru defeated Uruguay in the final by 2–1.<ref>{{es icon}}{{cite web | title=Perú y su primera Copa América| publisher=Peru.com|accessdate=2009-06-30| url=http://www.peru.com/futbol/reportajes/2001/09/18/02.asp}}</ref> In 1975, Peru won the first Copa América held without a fixed venue. The team defeated Chile and Bolivia in the group stages, and Brazil at the [[Mineirão]] (1–3) in the semifinals.

Peru's highest non-winning place in the tournament is third place, which it achieved five times; two at home (1927 and 1935), one in Brazil (1949), one in Chile (1955), and the latest in Argentina (2011). In 2011, Peru also obtained five '''[[LG Corp.]] Player of the Game''' awards, twice for Paolo Guerrero and [[Juan Manuel Vargas]], and once for [[William Chiroque]], the most awarded to a national team in the tournament. |

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.

In preparation for the [[2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship]], [[artificial turf]] was installed as a means of improving the stadium's aesthetic appeal; the surface was left in place after the tournament.

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

For the 1930 FIFA World Cup, an all-white [[Kit (association football)|kit]] with a red collar was chosen. A third uniform was made for the 1935 South American Championship; a horizontal red stripe was added.

Sports historian Jaime Pulgar Vidal Otálora explains that, to distinguish between teams wearing white kits (which were common during those times), a red diagonal stripe was added to one of the side's jerseys. He argues that this is how Peru got its red stripe, and that it was further consolidated by the team's "moral triumph" in the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics and victory in the 1939 South American championship.<ref>{{cite web | title=La Blanquiroja: La Camiseta de Todos los Colores | publisher=jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com | url=http://jaimepulgarvidal.blogspot.com/2011/06/la-blanquiroja-la-camiseta-de-todos-los.html | accessdate=2013-04-14}}</ref> In 2010, the [[ESPN]] television network placed Peru's 1978 jersey first in a list of the "Best World Cup jerseys of all time," praising its "simple yet strikingly effective piece of design."<ref>{{cite web | title=Best World Cup jerseys of all time |publisher=ESPN | url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/story/_/page/worldcup101-03082010/ce/us/best-world-cup-jerseys-all-time?cc=5901&utm_source=bleacherreport.com&ver=us| accessdate=2010-08-09}}</ref> That same year, Christopher Turpin, [[NPR]]'s executive producer of ''[[All Things Considered]]'', also praised the 1970 design, claiming that "[t]o this day, I still think it’s the beautiful game’s most beautiful shirt."<ref>http://www.npr.org/blogs/showmeyourcleats/2010/06/15/127856504/the-lost-elegence-of-jerseys</ref> |

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), 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''"/> Since 2010, Umbro has produced the kits for Peru. The new uniform was presented on September 4, 2010, in a 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> |

[[File:Sergiomarkarian.jpg|thumb|left|Sergio Markarián, the current manager of Peru, giving the "I'm glad we did not lose by more than one goal look."]] |
|||
Peru's first manager, Uruguayan [[Pedro Olivieri]], was appointed for the [[1927 South American Championship]] held in Peru. |
|||
Two managers have led Peru to CONMEBOL tournament victories, Englishman [[Jack Greenwell]] and Peruvian [[Marcos Calderón]] (1975).
