Peru football team qualifier preparations

Entities: Canada national football team · Mexico national football team · Peru national football team · Mano Menezes

Overview

In late July 2026 the Peruvian Football Federation announced that the 2030 World Cup qualifying matches will be staged at four venues – Lima’s Estadio Nacional, Estadio Monumental, and the high‑altitude stadiums in Cusco and Puno – with América Televisión holding exclusive broadcasting rights.

The federation later confirmed a friendly against Canada on 3 October 2026 at Montreal’s Saputo Stadium, scheduled within the FIFA international window to fine‑tune tactics and assess player form ahead of the South American qualifiers. Television coverage is expected on América Televisión, with possible streams on Movistar Deportes and Claro Sports.

A further friendly was added to the preparation calendar: Peru will face Mexico on 29 September 2026 at the Sport Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey, United States. Both opponents are recent World Cup participants, offering high‑level tests for coach Mano Menezes as the squad readies for the qualification campaign.
