There is also the option of moving those matches to the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, Matute, with the possibility of playing qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup at the monumental stadium; This was announced by Blanqueiroja coach, Juan Reynoso, who stressed that it would depend on the opponent they would face and how many people want to hit the field of play.
The issue of the territory of the Peru team in the next qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup starting in September has been analyzed by the coaching staff led by Juan Reynoso, who said that not only in the National Stadium they can localize the qualification process.
Reynoso mentioned on several occasions the Monumental Stadium as a second option, but added that Bicolor could also play matches at the Alejandro Villanueva (Matute) Stadium, owned by Alianza Lima.
This is due to the fact that in this sports colossus, having the stands closest to the field, more pressure can be exerted on the opponent.
“A lot will depend on the opponent, the people who want to join, but Matute is not an option. Certainly the federation, we and the boys will evaluate it. Alianza Lima has many boys. I think when you look at the date of FIFA But when you get here you get rid of any shirt and prioritize and the stripe prevails,” he said in a conversation with Vilax Deportes.
He said: “Today, I think the National Stadium will always be number one, but a home, suddenly, bigger, I’m not saying better or worse, this monument. Maybe it puts more pressure, that this fan may give us a different position in terms of area”.
He also did not rule out that a match could be held in the interior of the country, as in the case of Cusco, where altitude could be taken advantage of with opponents not used to playing in these conditions. Are.
“The home of the national team is the one that was mentioned (National Stadium). If at some point a situation arises to be able to play in Cusco, at that point it will be another home. Today, what we would not like to say Meaning that the home of such a team is the home of the national team and the rest feel that it is not, because they are not associated with that club.” said the national coach.
