Bassco Soyer receives Peru national team call-up

Former Alianza Lima interim coach Nixon Perea recently celebrated the professional progression of midfielder Bassco Soyer. Perea took to social media to recall debuting Soyer for Alianza Lima in 2023 when the player was just 16 years and 9 months old.

Soyer, who currently plays for Gil Vicente in Portugal, has been called up to the Peru senior national team by manager Mano Menezes for upcoming FIFA international friendlies, including a match against the United States in Orlando. Perea described the decision to debut the young player as a “beautiful madness” after being told he was “crazy” at the time.
