The Peruvian national team started the qualifiers for the 2026 North America World Cup by drawing with Paraguay in Ciudad del Este and losing to Brazil at National Stadium in Lima. In that sense, now the FPF plans two friendly matches against European rivals so that Juan Reynoso's team can continue to improve their level in the qualifying process. Who will be the opponents?
The journalist Rodrigo Romano indirectly confirmed this news on his social media, revealing that CONMEBOL and UEFA have reached an agreement to play friendly matches between their national teams in the next month of March, so the Blanquirroja is already thinking about opponents for that date.
Who will Peru face?
Furthermore, LÍBERO has learned that the teams that the Peruvian national team would face could be the national teams of France, Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, and Belgium. This is at the specific request of Juan Reynoso, who wants to compete against top teams to strengthen in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
It is worth noting that the matter is still under negotiation, so none of the teams are confirmed to face the Bicolor, although it is clear that Peru will play two friendly matches in the March FIFA date. Let's remember that the qualifying process will only start in September next year, so in the meantime, Juan Reynoso's team will not play any official matches for six months.
Peru's upcoming matches
The Peruvian national team will face its counterpart from Chile on October 12 at the Monumental Stadium in Santiago for matchday 3 of the 2026 qualifiers, and on matchday 4, they will host Argentina at the National Stadium in Lima on the 17th of the same month.
