Peru Confirms Four High-Level Friendlies in North America and Eyes Altitude Venues for Qualifiers

The FPF says the matches will test Mano Menezes’s rebuilding squad and the federation will register Puno and Cusco as potential home stadiums to seek a competitive edge.

Overview

  • The Federación Peruana de Fútbol officially scheduled four friendlies against World Cup teams: United States on Sept. 26 in Orlando, Mexico on Sept. 29 in New Jersey, Canada on Oct. 3 in Montreal, and Colombia on Oct. 6 in Miami.
  • FPF and coach Mano Menezes framed the games as competitive exams meant to accelerate player evaluation and to help the coaching staff consolidate a core group for the next qualifying cycle.
  • The federation says staging all four matches in the U.S. and Canada will cut travel, lengthen a single FIFA-window training block, and let the team work on tactics and fitness in a concentrated setting.
  • FPF director Jean Ferrari confirmed plans to register Puno and Cusco as candidate home venues for forthcoming South American qualifiers and made a speculative comment imagining a 3-0 win over Argentina in Puno, which the federation presents as aspirational rather than confirmed fact.
  • The moves come after mixed early results under Menezes and ahead of expected qualifiers next year; the immediate items to watch are player returns from injury, which selections Menezes prioritizes, and whether FIFA and CONMEBOL approve high-altitude venues for official qualifying matches.
