Quick Facts Nickname(s), Association ...

Peru's best result in major international competitions was in the 1998 Sudamericano Femenino, where they achieved third place. Peru also has never qualified for a World Cup and is almost always eliminated in the Group Stage of the Copa América Femenina. La Blanquirroja is coached by Emily Lima and plays the majority of its games in the Estadio Nacional in Lima.

History

In 1996 the Peruvian Peruvian Football Federation created the Peruvian Primera División Femenina[2][3] under the name of Metropolitan women's football championship (currently known as Liga Femenina). On that basis, in 1998 the federation gathered its very best players into a national team, whose first international appearance was the third South American Women's Football Championship played in Argentina, in which the team achieved third place.[4]

The Peruvian Squad at the 2014 Copa América Femenina

In the early 2000s, Peru gained fourth place in the 2003 South American Women's Football Championship on home soil and won the gold medal at the 2005 Bolivarian Games. The late 2010s saw a decline in Peruvian women's football, being eliminated in the group stage of the Copa America since 2003 and the same for the U-17 and U-20 team. In 2019, the team automatically qualified for the 2019 Pan American Games for the first time as hosts and placed 8th after losing to Jamaica. They only scored two goals and conceded seven. They finished last in their group with one point. In 2024, Peru won their first game in almost 20 years against Bolivia, winning 3-2 and later 1-0 in February. They automatically qualified for the 2027 Pan American Games as hosts.

The Peruvian team has yet to qualify for a FIFA Women's World Cup and is almost always eliminated in the first round of the Copa América Femenina.
