The Peru national football team represents Peru in international 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.[2]

Founded in 1927, the Peru national football team plays its home matches primarily at the Estadio Nacional in Lima. Peru has won the Copa América twice, qualified for four FIFA World Cup tournaments, and participated in two Olympic tournaments. Peru's traditional footballing rival is Chile,[3] but the team also has a prominent rivalry with Ecuador. The classic colors of the team are white and red, the colors of the Peruvian flag, and the team is commonly known as la Blanquirroja (Spanish for "the white-and-red").[4]

Early in its history, Peru participated in World Cup tournaments and enjoyed victories in the 1938 Bolivarian Games and the 1939 Copa América, when it was led by Teodoro Fernández, Juan Valdivieso, and Alejandro Villanueva.[2] 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.[5][6] This team qualified for three FIFA World Cups and won the Copa América in 1975.

Peru's 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

Football was introduced in Peru during the nineteenth century by British immigrants and Peruvians returning from England.[7] In 1859, the British community of Lima (Peru's capital) founded the Lima Cricket Club, a sports club dedicated to the practice of cricket, hockey, tennis, and football.[A][8][9] In the nearby port city of Callao, English sailors played the sport with the local chalaco workers.[B] Sports rivalries arose in Callao, between chalacos and foreigners, and in Lima, between elites and urban workers. Overtime, this became a rivalry between Callao and Lima.[11][7][12] Due to these several factors, including the sport's rapid development among the urban poor of Lima's La Victoria district (thanks to the foundation of Alianza Lima in 1901), Peru formed the strongest footballing culture in the Andean region.[13]

The Peruvian Football League tournament was organized in 1912, but conflicts among the teams caused its demise in 1921.[14] Consequently, a central organization was created in 1922, the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF),[C] which took charge of the troubled Peruvian Football League tournament in 1926.[15] The FPF joined the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) in 1925, but financial problems prevented the formation of a national football team until 1927.[16] Peru debuted internationally in the 1927 South American Championship.[17]

During the 1930s, Peruvian football entered its first golden era.[2] Starting with Ciclista Lima in 1926, various Peruvian clubs triumphantly 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.[18][19] Sports historian Richard Witzig writes that these players "formed a soccer triumvirate unsurpassed in the world at that time".[2] Peru, which had a prior fair performance at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930,[20] with El Rodillo Negro awed audiences at the 1936 Summer Olympics and finished the decade as winners of the first Bolivarian Games and as South American champions.[D][21][22]

Peru defeated Morocco (3–0) at the Mexico 1970 FIFA World Cup.

After nearly four decades of sparse achievements and narrow eliminations in World Cup qualifiers (1958, 1962, and 1966), Peru entered another golden era in late 1969, qualifying for the Mexico 1970 World Cup at the expense of Bolivia and Argentina.[23] In the tournament, Peru reached the quarterfinals and earned the first FIFA Fair Play Trophy.[6][24] Afterwards, Peru won its second Copa América in 1975 and qualified for the Argentina 1978 World Cup, eliminating rivals Chile and Ecuador.[25] In this World Cup, Peru ended as group leaders, but were eliminated in the second round.[26]

The team next qualified for the Spain 1982 World Cup, eliminating Uruguay (the 1980 Mundialito winners) and Colombia.[27] The team then prepared by touring Europe and Africa, defeating Hungary (1–2) and France (0–1), and tying Algeria (1–1); upon returing home, Peru defeated Romania (2–0).[24] 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."[28]

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 crashed into the Pacific Ocean, with several young national team members and coach Marcos Calderón perishing as a result.[29] Despite earning second place at the 1989 Marlboro Cup and placing third at the 1997 U.S. Cup,[30][31] 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.[32] Afterwards, Peru won two Kirin Cup competitions (1999 and 2005), and earned third place at the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[33]

At present, Peru remains unable to qualify for a World Cup and has struggled with various player indiscipline scandals. Much of the blame for Peru's performance is placed on FPF President Manuel Burga.[34][35][36] In 2008, the Peruvian government charged Burga with corruption and made his re-election illegal. In response, FIFA suspended Peruvian Football League officials and referees, the national football team, and prevented Peru from hosting the 2009 South American Youth Championship.[37] After Peruvian Institute of Sport (IPD) president Arturo Woodman agreed to discuss matters and reach an agreement with the FPF, FIFA President Sepp Blatter lifted the bans and restrictions.[38] With FIFA's approval, the FPF later reappointed Burga.[39]

On July 2, 2010, Uruguayan Sergio Markarián took charge of the national team tasked with leading Peru in the 2011 Copa América and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[40] His work with the squad received positive comments from Pelé,[41] and Peru won the Kirin Cup for a third time.[42] Markarián's first challenge was another indiscipline scandal; Markarián temporarily banned Reimond Manco and John Galliquio.[43] Peru achieved third place at the 2011 Copa América, even though several of the team's key players were unavailable because of injuries.[44]

FIFA World Cup record

File:1982-paraguay-wm-spain-1-peru.JPG

Peru has played at four FIFA World Cup finals, the first in 1930 and the last in 1982.[45] Luis de Souza Ferreira scored Peru's first World Cup goal in the 1930 match against Romania.[46] Teófilo Cubillas is the team's top World Cup scorer with 10 goals in two competitions.

In 1930, Peru were eliminated in the group stage after losing to Romania (1–3) and Uruguay (0–1). During the match against Romania, Peru's Plácido Galindo became the first player to be sent off during a World Cup.[47] The squad next qualified for the 1970 FIFA World Cup, overcoming a 1–2 loss to Bolivia in a match fixed by referee Sergio Chechelev in favor of Argentina, and tying in Argentina with the locals 2–2.[E][48][49] In the World Cup, Peru defeated Bulgaria 3–2 after trailing 0–2 at half-time,[50] beat Morocco (3–0), lost to West Germany (1–3), and were eliminated by Brazil (2–4) in the quarterfinals.[51][52]

Peru next qualified for the 1978 cup held in Argentina, finishing as group leader after defeating Scotland (3–1) and Iran (4–1),[53][54] and drawing with the Netherlands (0–0).[55][56] In the second round, rumors circulated that Peru had been paid by the Argentine military government to play poorly and concede the goals Argentina needed to reach the final. None of the allegations could be proven, and Argentina won the tournament.[57] Before the Spain 1982 World Cup came, Peru embarked on a successful practice tour in Europe and Africa,[24] but were eliminated early after draws with Cameroon (0–0) and Italy (1–1), and a loss to Poland (5–1).[58]

Copa América record

Peru prior to its inaugural match, against Uruguay, in the 1927 South American Championship.

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.[59] The team boasts three tournament top scorers: Teodoro Fernández (7 goals, 1939), Eduardo Malásquez (3 goals, 1983), and Paolo Guerrero (5 goals, 2011).[60] Peru also has three hat-trick scorers: Teodoro Fernández (1939 and 1941), Miguel Loayza (1959), and Paolo Guerrero (2011).[61]

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.[62] 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. After being randomly chosen in a CONMEBOL-sponsored lottery, ordered after Brazil defeated Peru in Lima by 0–2 (equalizing the amount of points between the two squads),[63] Peru defeated Colombia in two of three games played for the final. The squad lost the first leg of the final played in Colombia (0–1), but won the second match in Lima (2–0) and a final match at Caracas (1–0).[63]

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.

Olympic record

Peru was the only South American football team to compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.[2] Players for Peru included Teodoro Fernández, Alejandro Villanueva, Juan Valdivieso, and Adelfo Magallanes.[64] The IFFHS considers this Peruvian side to have been "a technically excellent and strong attacking side" that had "everything to be a finalist."[65]

The team began the tournament well, defeating Finland by 7–3. The Peruvians next eliminated the Austrian Wunderteam, favorites to win the tournament, defeating them 4–2 in extra time. However, after the game, the Austrian team alleged that the Peruvian players had manhandled them and that Peruvian spectators, one brandishing a revolver, had invaded the pitch during overtime.[66] However, Peru - the away team - had few supporters, and the nationalities or identities of the spectators who entered the field during the regular time were never discovered.[67] Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the International Olympic Committee, presided by Jules Rimet,[68] nullified the result and ordered a re-match behind closed doors. The Peruvian and Colombian delegations forfeited the games in protest.[66] The story was told differently by European and South American media; the exact details of the incident remain unknown.[64] Nowadays, the IFFHS is the only international football organization to condemn the actions taken against Peru in the tournament.[68]

During the 1960s, Peru won the Bolivarian Games in Barranquilla and qualified for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.[69]

Stadium

The renovated Estadio Nacional meets FIFA's highest requirements.[70]

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.[71] The stadium, a gift from England, opened on July 18, 1897, as the Estadio Guadalupe.[72][73] 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 1921, as part of President Augusto B. Leguía's embellecimiento (beautification) program, the stadium was renovated and renamed the Estadio Nacional de Peru.[73] During the regime of General Manuel Odría, the stadium was reconstructed and officially re-inaugurated on October 27, 1952.[74] Under the government of Alan García, the stadium was renovated and re-inaugurated on July 24, 2011.[71]

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. In 2005, the stadium was one of Peru's four "Star II" (the highest certification granted to artificial pitches) stadiums.[75] Nonetheless, the surface received heavy criticisms from Peruvian First Division clubs, due to player injuries for which it was allegedly responsible.[76] In 2011, the artificial ground was removed as part of stadium's the renovation process. Additional improvements include a modern exterior and interior multi-colored illumination system which complies with FIFA's norms for high-definition transmissions, two giant LED screens, individual spectator seats, and 375 private suites.[70][71]

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 and the balmy Amazonic climate of the Estadio Max Augustín in Iquitos provide strategic advantages against certain rivals.[77] 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.[78] During the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, Universitario's Estadio Monumental "U" was often selected for home matches due to controversy over the National Stadium's playing surface.[76]

Uniform

Segundo Castillo Varela, former midfielder wearing the original design of 1936.

Peru's national colors are red and white.[79] The team's first uniform was made for the 1927 South American Championship; it consisted of white shorts and a shirt with red vertical stripes. For the 1930 FIFA World Cup, an all-white kit with a red collar was chosen. A third uniform was made for the 1935 South American Championship; a horizontal red stripe was added. Peru's current uniform was designed for the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics; a red stripe crosses the chest diagonally from the left shoulder to the hip's right.[4] 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."[80]

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 (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.[4] Since 2010, Umbro has produced the kits for Peru. The new uniform was presented on September 4, 2010, in a friendly against Canada.[81]

Managers

File:Sergiomarkarian.jpg
Sergio Markarián, the current manager of Peru.

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). In 1939, Greenwell led Peru through an undefeated South American Championship run. In 1975, Calderón took Peru to victory in the newly renamed Copa América tournament.

Four managers have led Peru in the FIFA World Cup competition: Spaniard Francisco Bru (1930),[82] Brazilians Valdir Pereira (1970) and Elba de Pádua Lima (1982),[83][84] and Peruvian Marcos Calderón (1978).[85] Pereira's 1970 squad reached the quarter-finals; the team's furthest progression in the World Cup.

In the Kirin Cup invitational tournament, Peru has obtained three titles under separate management. The first was obtained in 1999 under Colombian Francisco Maturana, the second in 2005 under Peruvian Freddy Ternero, and the third in 2011 under Uruguayan Sergio Markarián.

Rivalries

Raúl Toro (Chile) and Teodoro Fernandez (Peru), opponents during the 1937 South American Championship.

The Peruvian team has 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. Both nations dispute the origin of the football move known as the bicycle kick.[86][87] Matches between Chile and Peru, considered by CNN (Cable News Network) to be among the top ten rivalries in the world,[87] are nicknamed the Clásico del Pacífico (Derby of the Pacific). A trophy named the Copa del Pacífico (Cup of the Pacific) is awarded whenever Chile and Peru play against each other.[3][24] Peru's rivalry with Ecuador, derived from historical border conflicts, is not as large as that with Chile, but is of competitive importance to both nations.[88]

Youth squads

Records and Fixtures

Peru lost against Romania (3–1) at the inaugural Uruguay 1930 FIFA World Cup.

Peru has played 525 official matches, including friendlies, since 1927. According to CONMEBOL, Peruvian teams play with much technique and elegance, generally making them one of the finest exponents of South American football.[89] Peru has a good performance record against Asian, African, Caribbean, and Central American teams. [90] The highest scoring victory achieved by the Peruvian squad is a 9–1 score against Ecuador in the inaugural Bolivarian Games. The team's biggest defeat occurred in the 1997 Copa América, when Brazil defeated Peru by 7–0.[24] Peru was the first team to receive a FIFA Fair Play Trophy, awarded in the 1970 FIFA World Cup, Peru being the only team that received no yellow or red cards in their games.[91]

Roberto Palacios has the most appearances with the national team, having played 122 times between 1992 and 2007. Héctor Chumpitaz, with 105 appearances is second and Jorge Soto, with 101 appearances is third. For goalkeepers, Oscar Ibañez holds the most appearances with 50 caps, followed by Miguel Miranda (47 caps) and Ramón Quiroga (40 caps).[92] Teófilo Cubillas is the team's top goalscorer with 26 goals in 81 appearances. Teodoro Fernández is second, but holds a higher goal per appearance average with 24 goals in 32 appearances. In third place is Nolberto Solano, who has 20 goals in 89 appearances.[92] Claudio Pizarro scored Peru's fastest goal during a match against Mexico on August 20, 2003; Pizarro also scored the second fastest goal and Luis Ramírez the third.[93]

Alejandro Villanueva, Teodoro Fernández, and Juan Valdivieso were part of the Combinado del Pacífico,[F] a united Peruvian-Chilean squad that toured England, Germany, France, and Spain. The Combinado ended with 13 games won, 13 tied, and 13 lost; Fernández was top scorer with 48 goals.[94] Hugo Sotil, Héctor Chumpitaz, and Teófilo Cubillas were selected from the Peruvian football team to join the starting line-up of the South America XI that played against the Europe XI in 1973 at the Nou Camp of FC Barcelona. Sotil scored South America's second goal, and Chumpitaz's goal evened the score (4–4); South America beat Europe 7–6 in the penalty rounds.[95]

Notes

  1. ^ The Lima Cricket and Football Club also claims the title of being oldest football club in the Americas.
  2. ^ 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.[10]
  3. ^ The acronym FPF comes from the organization's Spanish name, Federación Peruana de Futbol.
  4. ^ Peru became the fourth nation to win the South American championship (later renamed Copa América), after Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.
  5. ^ Peru prevented Argentina's World Cup qualification for the first and only time in its history.
  6. ^ The Combinado del Pacifico was known by the European media as the "Peru-Chile XI" and "All-Pacific".[94]
