Peru has had great moments in the history of football ever since 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.

History

English sailors introduced football to Peru in the late 19th century during their frequent calls at the port of Callao. The sport extended to Lima, where several clubs and teams were formed for its practice in the early 20th century. Soon, most Peruvian cities had their own football leagues, the most important of which were those of Lima, Cusco and Arequipa. Native criollo and foreigner teams soon developed a rivalry (but that rivalry was later replaced by that between teams from Lima and Callao). These foreigner vs. criollo games popularized in Peru a move known as "chalaca."[2] Callao (Spanish: El Callao) is the largest and most important port in Peru. ...

In 1927, Peru for the first time united the best players of the Peruvian Football League (At that time having players from only Lima and Callao) to play in the South American Championship. The first game the Peruvian team officially played was during this championship, against Uruguay (Whom had recently won the Football Olympics). Peru's team lost 4-0 in their first match. Nevertheless, the team's first victory was gained a few days later (at the same stadium) against Bolivia (3-0). This begun the first best moments of Peruvian football.


The rising popularity of football in Peru led to its participation in the first FIFA World Cup at Uruguay in 1930. The Peruvian team's first match gave the World Cup its first player dismissed, Plácido Galindo. Peru was able to tie Romania's early lead, but was not able to sustain due to the one-man advantage the Romanians had. Later, in the match against Uruguay, Peru played a formidable game but lost 1-0 against the hosts (Whom would later beat Romania 4-0). A surprising improvement after their first match 3 years before, Peru's game began getting better.


The Olimpics of Berlin in 1936 showed how much the team had improved since 1927. Although the team formally withdrew due to problems with the German government's decision to nullify Peru's victory against Austria, a nice taste of what Peru was becoming was left behind. Even though the team already was making history, their consolidation of grandeour was soon to come.


Further improving its game, Peru won its first Copa America in 1939. Peru lost none of its matches, and after beating Ecuador, Chile, and Paraguay; The team was ready to play Uruguay for the title. A 2-1 victory for Peru gave the team its first international title (9 years after the team's creation), and Peruvian Teodoro Fernández became the tournament's maximum goal scorer with 7 goals. The early years of Peru's football history went quite well, and the team was able to build its game due to the increasing competition CONMEBOL has always been known for. Teodoro Fernández Meyzán, nicknamed Lolo (*May 20, 1913 in Cañete - †September 17, 1996 in Lima) was a football forward player from Peru who played for Universitario de Deportes. ... CONMEBOL or CSF (CONfederación SudaMEricana de FútBOL, South American Football Confederation) is the governing body of football in most of South America. ...


Due to many internal problems, Peru's football years after the 1930s were simply a continuation of what the team had done in the past. There was little improvement, but by then "Los Incas" had won a spot in the hearts of Peruvians whom saw their team do interestingly well in various games played. Still, there were no actual major victories that would give Peru an international title like the one they had previously won during the 1930s. This trend would go on into the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.


Once in the 1970s, the Peruvian "Blanquirrojas" rose with a spark of international victories and a string of football stars that made the team once more a major competitive force in the world of football. Players like Teófilo Cubillas, Pedro "Perico" León, 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.


The participations of Peru in 1970, 1978, and 1982, FIFA World Cups made Peru 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.[3] In 1975 Peru achieved its second Copa America, and thus another set of players consolidated their mark in Peruvian sports history. Along with an increase of better teams within the Peruvian league, Peru kept up its game up into the late 1980s.


The 1990s were not very good years for the Peruvian football team. Although there were still several good players like Julio Cesar Uribe, Nolberto Solano, Claudio Pizarro, and Jose del Solar, the team was not quite what it used to be. Perhaps in part what gave this feeling of deception were the hopes that Peru's golden years would never go away. Of course, the team almost qualified for another World Cup in the late 1990s, but the dream was twarthed by a goal difference with Chile.

José Guillermo Del Solar (born November 28, 1967) is a retired football midfield player from Peru, who obtained 74 international caps for his national team, in which he scored nine goals. ...


The new century brought with it the same Peruvian team, a shadow of its former self. Yet, 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. Sadly, "Los Incas" had to cope with internal issues and the team's performance suffered.


In 2007, Peruvian football received a great surprise as the U-17 squad reached the quarterfinals in their FIFA World Cup. This success from the young squad has given new hopes to fans that things are beginning to turn 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.

Peru in the FIFA World Cup

After making their FIFA World Cup debut at Uruguay 1930, Peru next made an impact on the finals at Mexico 1970 where they beat Bulgaria and 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 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 Spain 1982, a tournament in which Peru was viewed as a favorite.

The tale to 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.

Right now, he is the 6th greatest goal scorer of the World Cups at 10 marks in 3 participations.


Once in the quarterfinals, Peru faced the Brazil of Pele (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.

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.[4]

Peru almost qualified to Mexico 1986 once more eliminating Argentina. Yet, for this qualifier game, they were to face the Argentina of Maradona.

1990 FIFA World Cup Qualifier


Peru was grouped for the 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).

1998 FIFA World Cup Qualifier


The campaign to reach France 1998 was thwarted only by the goal difference tiebreaker, as they finished even on points with 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.

2002 FIFA World Cup Qualifier


The preliminaries for 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.

2006 FIFA World Cup Qualifier


During the years of 2004 and 2005, Peru participated in the qualifier for the 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 that several of the players had been partying during the time they were supposedly "concentrating" for their next match. Now the Peruvian team awaits 2008 in hopes that the future games will have positive results for the team.

Copa América

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 or Brazil), in 1975 Peru won the cup once more (This time with all the CONMEBOL teams participating). ‹ The template below (Expand) is being considered for deletion. ... CONMEBOL or CSF (CONfederación SudaMEricana de FútBOL, South American Football Confederation) is the governing body of football in most of South America. ...


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 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.

Peru 1935


This tournament is characterized by the Argentinean and Uruguayan conflict that rooted from the 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. The first Football World Cup was staged in 1930. ... The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, were held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. ...


Peru 1939


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).[5] The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, were held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. ... Teodoro Fernández Meyzán, nicknamed Lolo (*May 20, 1913 in Cañete - †September 17, 1996 in Lima) was a football forward player from Peru who played for Universitario de Deportes. ...


Brazil 1949


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.


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.[6]


Copa América 1975 The Copa America 1975 was abandoned due to a coup by the then-ruling dictator Jose Caracas. ...


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 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.

Bolivia 1997


The team was able to reach the quarterfinals of this cup and eliminated 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. The game was won by Mexico by a goal scored at the 82nd minute of the game.


Peru 2004


The 2004 Copa América, which they hosted, saw the team lose in the quarter-finals against Argentina.

Venezuela 2007


Peru's campaign in the 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.

In 1936, the Peruvian team was invited to join the Olympics to be played at 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.

The first match against 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 (A 4-2 result). This result left Hitler with many problems, especially since the Peruvian team was mainly composed of black players while the Austrian team played with a white Arian squad. Austria, with support from Hitler, thus was able to gain the chance for a repetition of the game to be once more played. Hitler redirects here. ...


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. 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 what Germany was doing.[10]

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.

Peru was one of three teams invited to the 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. The 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the fifth edition of the Gold Cup, the soccer championship of North and Central America (CONCACAF). ...


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 (1-1) and lost to the 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 had come from winning both of their previous games against Jamaica and 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. An own goal occurs in football (soccer) and other goal-scoring games when a player scores a goal that is registered against his or her own team. ...

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 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).


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 this time). Peru now holds the historic 5th place of this competition with an overall of 3 ties and 1 victory.

Artificial turf was installed for the U-17 championship. The artificial turf still remains in the Estadio Nacional but has received heavy criticism from clubs of the Peruvian First Division because of the constant injuries it causes. This is the reason why the national team has decided not to use the stadium.


Alternate Stadiums

The national team, for some reason or another, has tended to use different 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 team. At times, using the high altitude of the Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco can prove a good strategy for the team. Also, using popular stadiums in Lima, like the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva, can sometimes be an option for the team due to the supportive crowd. Recently, though, the Estadio Monumental "U" has been selected to momentarily house the Peruvian football team due to the National Stadium's artificial turf.

Kit evolution

The Peruvian team has officially used 4 official kits, but it also has had several alternatives.


Official First Kits

  • The first uniform was that of the red stripes, white shorts, and white socks. This model was only used in the 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 and in the Copa América 1939 that they won.
  • The third uniform was composed of a white shirt with a horizontal red stripe that crossed the chest from left to right. The shorts and socks were white.
  • The fourth and current uniform is composed of a white shirt with a diagonal red stripe that crosses the chest from the left shoulder to the right side of the hip. The shorts and socks are white (Although red socks are also being used lately).

Football rivalries

Peru vs. Chile


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. ...


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. 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.


Peru vs. Ecuador


Peru's football rivalry against Ecuador is not as great, but still important to mention. Such a rivalry comes from disputes Ecuador and Peru have been having for 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.

Despite the current failures of the senior side, the Peruvian U-17 team gave brand new stars and hopes to Peruvian fans early in 2007. After their first FIFA U-17 World Cup appearance in 2005 (Peru as host nation), the youth team greatly improved in skill and determination. Their first U-17 World Cup saw them lose with merely 1 point. Yet, they began the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup with a bang as they defeated the local South Korean team with an array of constant attacks and effective counter-attacks that completely overwhelmed their opponents. The FIFA U-17 World Cup, formerly the FIFA U-17 World Championship and before the FIFA U-16 World Championship, is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 17 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). ... The FIFA U-17 World Cup 2007 is taking place in the Korea Republic. ...


The U-17 team's success in 2007 came from the leadership of Juan Jose Ore, and the appearance of good players like Reimond Manco and Gary Correa. Not only that, but Peru showcased some of the best team games of the South American tournament and in the 2007 World Cup. Although they were eliminated during the quarterfinals, Peru's U-17 squad seems to be having high hopes for future competitions. Reimond Manco (born August 23, 1990 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian football forward who plays for Alianza Lima of the Peruvian Football League. ...
