The Peru national under-17 football team represents Peru in international under-17 football competitions and is overseen by the Federacion Peruana de Futbol. The qualified for two World Cups, their best result being in 2007, where the Jotitas reached the Quarter-finals. The teams best result in the South American U-17 Championship was a Fourth Place finish in 2007.
Despite the current failures of the senior side, the Peruvian U-17 team has given brand new stars and hopes to Peruvian fans early in the year of 2007. After their first FIFA U-17 World Cup appearance in 2005 (Peru as host nation), the youth team greatly improved in skill and determination. Their first U-17 World Cup saw them lose with merely 1 point. Yet, they started the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup with a bang as they defeated the local South Korean team with an array of constant attacks and effective counter-attacks that completely overwhelmed their opponents.
The U-17 team's success in 2007 came from the leadership of Juan Jose Ore, and the appearance of good players like Reimond Manco. Not only that, but Peru showcased some of the best team games of the South American tournament and in the 2007 World Cup. Although they were eliminated during the quarterfinals, Peru's U-17 squad seems to be having high hopes for future competitions.
History
Road to the 2007 U-17 World Cup
In 2007, the Peruvian U-17 football team went to the 2007 South American Under-17 Football Championship that was held in Ecuador that started March 4 of that year. In the debut match, the Peruvian team had to face the Brazil. The Peruvians surprised the Brazilians 2–1 with one goal scored by Reimond Manco and the impressive forward La Torre.
In the group stage, Peru won most of the matches and ended first in its group (qualifying to the final round).
In the final round of the tournament (where the first 4 qualified to the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup) Peru won the first match against Venezuela. In the next match, Brazil crushed Peru 4–0 and Colombia trounced them 3–0. By the fourth match Brazil, Colombia and Argentina were already qualified for the main tournament and Peru, Venezuela and host Ecuador had to fight for the last qualification spot.
The fifth match saw Peru with the obligation to defeat Ecuador. The match started horribly for Peru when an Ecuadorian midfielder scored at the first minutes of play. Peru answered quickly when Reimond Manco assisted midfielder Sanchez for a goal. Ecuador was seen to have determination, and it scored once again at the 20th minute of the first half. However, Reimond Manco scored goal caused by a mistake from the Ecuadorian Mendoza, sending them one huge step closer to the world tournament and eliminating their fierce rivals.
For the last match against Argentina, Peru had to lose by at least 4 goals to be eliminated. Peru was capable of drawing the match and qualified to the U-17 World Cup. Reimond Manco was named as the best player of the competition by the CONMEBOL.
Road to the 2019 U-17 World Cup
Peru automatically qualified for the 2019 World Cup as host, but ended up without hosting rights on 22 February 2019 due to infrastructure concerns. Peru was forced to enter the run for the World Cup, which was moved to Brazil. Peru failed to qualify for the tournament, after only managed a lone 3–2 win over Uruguay, which was not enough compared to Ecuador's 4–1 win over eventual champions Argentina.
Road to the 2021 U-17 World Cup
Peru automatically qualified for the 2021 World Cup as host, after being transferred as hosts from the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was moved to 2023. Due to Peru failing to meet infrastructure requirement, FIFA removed Peru as hosts and transferred it to Indonesia for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
