Juan Reinoso announced the list of Peruvian teams called up for the opening matches of the 2026 qualifiers against Paraguay and Brazil, causing a big surprise among the two-color fans as only footballers from the league 1, including several U-23 players (because they want to meet these youngsters for the pre-Olympics in January). Given this, many are wondering when the “cabezón” will announce to all the chosen ones who are active abroad.
The red and white strategist hinted that this type of summoning in two parts is something characteristic for him: “We have been summoning this type in the local soccer team for a year. A few days will pass and when the games will take place.” “We will give the list of footballers from abroad as a way of proceeding,” he said at the press conference.

The coach referred to the fact that footballers playing in other leagues will join “new week”, so according to the Líbero newspaper, the preliminary date for announcing the full list will be the following Thursday 31 August.
In this sense, the Bicolor representatives have a week of work to do before the duel against the Albirroja in Ciudad del Este at the start of the South American qualifiers for the World Cup Mexico-USA-Canada 2026.
