Peru football

Between the years 1970 and 1982, a Golden Generation of Peruvian soccer players once more brought Peru into the map of football in the world. Teofilo Cubillas was the star of the side, netting 5 goals in two different finals, and his attacking flair and skill became synonymous for the world with Peru's football side in the 1970s. The side then qualified for three out of four FIFA World Cups and won the Copa América in 1975.

Nowadays, Peru is still considered one of the finest sides in the world approximating a ranking of around 50th.
