When do Peru and Germany play?
Just a few months before the start of the qualifiers for the 2026 North America World Cup, the Peruvian national team will have an important friendly match against their German counterparts as visitors, as the match will be played in the city of Mainz. However, the match has not even started yet and we are already at a disadvantage because, at least economically, the German squad is infinitely superior to the Peruvian team.

It is no surprise that Peru has a lower market value than Germany, especially because most of our players play in lower leagues and none of them play for a top team in Europe. However, when you see the reality in numbers, the figure is totally discouraging because, according to data collected from Transfermarkt, players from Europe are worth twelve times more.
That's right, the difference in the squads is abysmal, considering that the team led by Hansi Flick has left several of its top players, such as Antonio Rüdiger, because they wanted to stay focused on their clubs. This is how the German national team is worth 602 million euros and their most expensive player is Joshua Kimmich with a valuation of 80 million.
On the other hand, the Peruvian national team is very weak in terms of valuation and it barely reaches 49 million euros, with Renato Tapia from Celta de Vigo being the most valued athlete with 9 million, who has greatly decreased in value since he used to cost twice as much.
It is also important to highlight that the Peruvian national team is one of the cheapest squads in CONMEBOL, ranking eighth, and is only worth more than Venezuela and Bolivia. Chile, which is seventh, has a value of 91 million euros, a huge difference with one of our direct rivals in the qualifiers. Germany, on the other hand, is the eighth most expensive national team in the world.
