To put together a competitive team for the Copa América and the Qualifiers Heading towards the 2026 World Cup, the first division players will be important for Jorge Fossati to achieve the goal for which he was hired.
That's why the Uruguayan would have been satisfied with the work of some clubs in the national competition in his first weeks as coach of the white and red team.
“The four Peruvian teams that I have seen seem to me to be strong and predict that in 2024 we will have a good Liga 1, with good level, good intensity and very good representation at international level,” explained Fossati for ovation.

The former coach of the Universitario de Deportes also revealed what requirements the players have to meet in order to be called up to the Peruvian team.
“The conditions must be technical, tactical, physical and, above all, mental. Exceptions cannot be made, even if you are right in your head. The other usually responds: “I won't bring anyone who debuted the day before for the next game,” he indicated.
Likewise, Fossati confessed what his priority is as commander of the national team. “Without a doubt, the big goal is to take part in the World Cup. You have to take it game by game, don't despair and every point is important. The way is to act hard, believe in ourselves and maintain order, creativity and focus so that we are a strong and competitive team. The results will come,” the DT said.

In addition, Flaco revealed that he does not plan to bring some of the Peruvian team's games to the same level due to the qualification process. “If you tell me that Peru has a team that plays competitively with high-altitude soccer players, we could study that there. In my opinion that is not the case.
Jorge Fossati will have the opportunity to strengthen the team when they play FIFA friendly matches in March, whose rivals would come from Concacaf.
The national team then plays America Cup In the United States. Finally, Peru will face Colombia and Ecuador in September to resume qualifying.
