Peru’s women’s volleyball team entered the 2026 Copa Sudamericana in Lima with a weakened roster after central blocker Ginna López was sidelined by a training injury. Coach Antonio Rizola noted that the federation was consulting specialists, stating, “the first priority is the health of the athlete, not any title.” The squad opened with a ~~3‑0~~ 3-0 loss to Chile on July 22 and then fell ~~3‑0~~ 3-0 to Brazil’s ~~B‑team~~ B-team on July 23, a defeat that eliminated Peru from semifinal contention. Brazil’s victory preserved an unbeaten record in Group A and secured a place in the semifinals, completing a perfect ~~group‑stage~~ group-stage run that also included ~~3‑0~~ 3-0 wins over Bolivia and Chile.
