Overview
- Peru exited the South American U-17s in Paraguay with four losses and zero points, falling 1-4 to Argentina, 1-4 to Brazil, 0-2 to Bolivia, and 0-1 to Venezuela, which also ended their U-17 World Cup hopes.
- Revoredo, speaking Saturday after the team’s return, said he was responsible for the results and described his squad as the best talent available in the age group.
- He urged a full review of youth training, warning that Peru is not competing at this level and that the gap with regional rivals is growing.
- Press accounts report Peru scored two and conceded eleven across the tournament, and the team saw three red cards in the final match, highlighting poor control and execution.
- Analysis faults the FPF’s youth unit for lacking a shared playing model, noting Revoredo had nine months and more than ten friendlies yet used a 3-4-3 that differs from the senior team’s setup.
