The Peru women's national football team represents Peru in international women's football and is controlled by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) (Federación Peruana de Fútbol in Spanish). They have been a part of the CONMEBOL confederation since its formation in 1996. The Peruvian team has yet to qualify for a FIFA Women's World Cup and is currently ranked 79th in the FIFA Rankings.
Peru's best result in major international competitions was in the 1998 Sudamericano Femenino, where they achieved third place. They then achieved fourth place in 2003 where they jointed hosted with Argentina and Ecuador. La Blanquirroja is coached by Antonio Spinelli and plays the majority of its games in the Estadio Félix Castillo Tardío in Chincha Alta.
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]
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. With only two goals scored and seven conceded, they finished last in their group with one point. They automatically qualified for the 2027 Pan American Games as hosts.
