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 1986 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.
Peru’s 2026 World Cup campaign ended in qualifying. Mano Menezes now leads the new cycle; the September–October friendlies produced one draw and three defeats. The U.S. Soccer report names Yoshimar Yotún as captain for the 26 September match, keeping current leadership distinct from Guerrero’s historical role.
