Perú will face Canadá on Saturday, October 3, in Montreal in another amistoso internacional FIFA, giving Mano Menezes another chance to evaluate his squad as the team continues its preparation tour.
The match comes after Perú’s 4-1 loss to the United States and a 1-1 draw with Mexico, two results that have already provided the coaching staff with different snapshots of where the team stands. Now, with Canadá next on the schedule, the focus shifts again to execution, balance and how the squad responds in a third straight test.
Another step in the preparation tour
This game is part of a broader look toward the medium term, with the team also thinking about the 2030 World Cup qualifiers. That makes the matchup in Montreal more than just another friendly. It is another opportunity to assess combinations, adjust details and measure progress against a different opponent.
For Perú, the calendar is important for that reason. The recent results against the United States and Mexico already showed the type of challenges the team wants to study. Canadá will now offer a new reference point in the same evaluation process, with Mano Menezes continuing to guide the group through these preparation dates.
Saturday’s match in Montreal is therefore a useful checkpoint. It will not decide anything final, but it should help clarify where Perú stands after two recent games and what still needs to be refined before the next big stage of competition.
