Peru national football team North American tour

Overview

Coach Mano Menezes has announced a 26-player squad for the Peru national football team’s upcoming international friendly tour in North America. The roster features a mix of established players, such as Pedro Gallese, André Carrillo, Yoshimar Yotún, and Miguel Araujo, alongside the return of Gianluca Lapadula and emerging talents like Matías Córdova, Osling Mora, and Piero Magallanes. The tour includes four matches against teams that participated in the 2026 World Cup: the United States in Orlando (September 26), Mexico in New Jersey (September 29), Canada in Montreal (October 3), and Colombia in Miami (October 6).

As the tour approaches, Menezes confirmed that attacker André Carrillo will miss the opening match against the United States in Orlando. The Corinthians player is being rested due to a recent thigh injury to ensure he remains available for the subsequent three matches of the tour.

The tour begins on September 26 at Inter&Co Stadium. This fixture marks the start of a new international cycle for both sides following their respective 2026 World Cup campaigns. The USMNT, managed by Mauricio Pochettino, is entering a rebuilding phase and has named 13 uncapped players for the window. The USMNT enters the match following a period of struggle, having lost three of their last four friendlies, though they maintain a seven-game winning record at Inter&Co Stadium.

Ahead of the Orlando match, USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino is implementing a youth-focused strategy, calling up 12 first-time players, including eight teenagers such as 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan. The American roster notably excludes established veterans like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Folarin Balogun. For Peru, the match serves as a key test for Menezes’ tactical approach as the team undergoes reinvention following their failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
