The performance of the Peruvian national team
The performance of the Peruvian national team in the beginning of the 2026 Qualifiers has not been the best of all, hence doubts are beginning to arise about whether Juan Reynoso's team needs more preparation matches for a positive change in their performance to start being seen.
Possibility of participating in Copa Oro 2025
The national team has scheduled commitments in the next two years, whether it be for the World Cup Qualifiers or the 2024 Copa America, but there could be a possibility in the future for them to participate in another important competition around the world.
It turns out that Concacaf is considering the possibility of organizing a Copa Oro 2025 with 24 participants, out of which 16 would be from their own confederation and four out of the remaining eight spots could be filled by invited national teams from Conmebol, as reported by American journalist Edgar Moreno.
Peru is not an option at the moment
Furthermore, the aforementioned journalist revealed that Peru - at the moment - is not being considered to participate in this championship to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The options being considered by the organization are Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
