Peru Limits October to One Friendly, Declines Caribbean Offers to Prioritize Stiffer Tests

FPF says the schedule reflected Liga 1’s finish plus a prearranged European plan.

Selección peruana rechazó a dos rivales para amistoso por rotunda razón: "No se quiere..."
¿Por qué Perú solo jugó un amistoso en la fecha doble de octubre? La verdad detrás de la decisión de la FPF

Overview

  • Peru played only one match in the October window, a 2-1 loss to Chile in Santiago that doubled as Manuel Barreto’s debut as interim coach.
  • Sports director Jean Ferrari cited the domestic league’s run-in and previously set November dates in Europe as the reasons for not adding a second October game.
  • The federation received proposals to face the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico but rejected them as too low-level, seeking a truer measure of the team.
  • Logistical and cost factors related to Concacaf travel also weighed against arranging additional October friendlies.
  • Russia on Nov. 15 in Saint Petersburg is confirmed, and the FPF is pursuing another November opponent with a preference for a team inside FIFA’s top 50.
