Peru's soccer team heads to Qatar in search of World Cup qualification

10:53 | Barcelona (Spain), Jun. 10.

Bringing the hope of more than 30 million citizens in suitcases, the Peruvian national soccer squad left for Doha, where it will face its Australian counterpart on June 13 as part of the intercontinental playoff which provides the penultimate tickets for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The squad departed from El Prat Airport in Barcelona, where it had completed its last training session this Friday prior to the trip.

Previously, led by Argentinean coach Ricardo Gareca, training at San Cugat High Performance Center consisted of tactical work.

Similarly, Gareca has scheduled training sessions in Qatar for June 11 and 12, so that the Blanquirroja (Red-White Team) remains focused on the highly-expected match against the Socceroos set for Monday at 9:00 p.m. (local time).

It should be noted that one day prior to flight to the Qatari capital, the Peruvian squad trained at Sant Cugat High Performance Center. At the site, there was also an atmosphere of great optimism among the 28 players called up for the upcoming event.
