The Peruvian National Team will face a tough challenge this Tuesday against Argentina, within the framework of the fourth matchday of the South American Qualifiers 2026. Under the command of Juan Reynoso, the 'Bicolor' hopes to add three important points and climb in the standings, where they currently sit in ninth place with just one point. However, as always, the fans made themselves present to show their support to the Peruvian team.
Hundreds of fans of the national team approached the Videna, the place where the team trained for the match against the World champions. As expected, banners, music, and unconditional support were not lacking and made themselves known in the San Luis compound.
It is worth mentioning that hours later, the fans of the national team moved to the hotel in San Isidro, where the team is concentrated under Juan Reynoso. As usual, Peruvian players shared a pleasant moment with the fans, accompanying them with the chants of the 'Blanquirroja'.
As for this match, they held their final training in the afternoon of this Monday and left everything ready to face Lionel Scaloni's team. This match will be crucial, as the 'Bicolor' urgently needs a victory to distance itself from the bottom of the standings, a different case from that of the 'Albiceleste', which is at the top.
Argentina will not be an easy opponent, as they have a solid core of players, all consolidated and with experience in World Cups and Qualifiers. Despite being the current leader of the qualifying process, they will seek a victory by any means necessary, with the aim of securing first place and distancing themselves from Brazil, their closest pursuer.
When will the match between Peru and Argentina be?
After the defeat against Chile in Santiago, the Peruvian National Team will return this week when they host Argentina for the fourth matchday of the 2026 Qualifiers. This match is scheduled for this Tuesday, October 17th, at 9:00 p.m. It will be played at the National Stadium and will be broadcast throughout Peru on ATV, América TV, and Movistar Deportes. In Argentine territory, it will be shown on the exclusive channels of TyC Sports and TV Pública.
Let's remember that the last time the 'Albiceleste' visited our country was during the previous 2022 Qatar Qualifiers, with a 0-2 defeat for the team then led by Ricardo Gareca. Nicolás González (17') and Lautaro Martínez (28') scored the goals for Lionel Scaloni's team, in a match where the 'Bicolor' was easily surpassed and could not find a way to harm the team that would become world champion a couple of years later.
