Only 17 days until the first match of the World Cup playoff, the Peruvian National Team is the most important thing in the local sports press and occupies all the front pages of the newspapers.
It is known that the idea of the national coaching staff is to start working as soon as possible with the local players, who will later be joined by those who play abroad.
Everything indicates that the Peruvian delegation will travel in advance to New Zealand to settle in Auckland and then head to Wellington, one day before the match. The comfort and better facilities of the northern city have supposedly led the FPF to finally decide to concentrate there.
The first playoff match will be played on November 11th (day for Peru due to the time difference), while on Wednesday the 15th the qualified team will be determined at the National Stadium in Lima.
