Everything ready! After working with the League 1 players for a few days, Juan Reinoso revealed the final list of call-ups for the next friendlies of FIFA’s appointment against Germany and Morocco. The ‘Cabezón’ decided to mention the footballers active abroad and surprised with some names from the local media. One of the most notable absences is the end of Bryan Reyna, who participates in Alianza Lima.
Despite keeping the base of the team that played Qatar 2022 qualifiers, the strategist has decided to give youngsters a chance Percy Liza and Jesus Castillo. The former is a member of Marítimo de Portugal while the latter comes from a great season with Sporting Cristal in the Copa Libertadores.

Where will the Peru team play the 2026 qualifiers?
On this road to the 2026 World Cup, at least in 2023, the Peruvian team will not be able to play at home in the National Stadium for the U-17 World Cup due to the works being carried out on the lawn of the venue with a view. The headquarters where the Bicolor would play their games would be the Monumental Stadium of Ate, also known as the Monumental U Marathon Stadium.
