Peru — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Peru won a decisive play-off against Colombia in Caracas after the two-legged final finished level, for their second Copa America title. It remains their most recent major trophy, half a century on.
Peru's most recent Copa America title, in 1975, was won through a decisive play-off match against Colombia in Caracas after their two-legged final finished level — their second continental crown, following an earlier win in 1939. That triumph came during the peak of Peru's golden generation, led by Teofilo Cubillas, one of South America's greatest-ever players, who also starred in Peru's run to the quarterfinal of the 1970 World Cup and a further strong showing in 1978. Peru's football fortunes declined sharply in the decades that followed, missing eight consecutive World Cups between 1982 and 2014, before a revival brought them back to the 2018 tournament and a 2019 Copa America final appearance, though they lost that final to Brazil.
