Peruvian national team received many criticisms after the list of the companions who went to Qatar for the playoff match against Australia was revealed, which ended with the team led by Ricardo Gareca's defeat in the penalty shootout. This generated a lot of indignation among the fans due to the peculiar characters who attended, such as Trauco's barber or Cueva's close friend.
In response to this, Antonio García Pye, manager of the national team, stated in an interview with Ovación, that the players had a strict schedule to receive visits from their families.
“Half of the first floor was blocked for conference rooms and meals, and there was a lobby for players to receive visits from their families during the allowed hours,” he said.

About the friendly match against Mexico
García Pye also provided more details about the Peru vs. Mexico friendly match, which will serve as preparation for the Mexican national team before the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
“We estimate that about 50 people will leave Lima and about 15 players will go directly there. We are evaluating the charter or commercial flight option, always seeking the best for the team. The idea is to leave on the 18th and arrive on the 19th to receive the arriving players,” he explained.
Finally, he added that there is a possibility of playing another friendly match after facing the Tri on September 24th, and this would be in the same month, but for now, it must "pass filters".
