Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has uploaded an inspiring video of Peru's national soccer team ahead of its first World Cup appearance in 36 years.

The images show Jefferson Farfan and Paolo Guerrero as Peru's star players for Russia 2018.

Shared on FIFA World Cup's official Spanish-language Twitter account, the post includes a brief description of the red-white squad, locally known as La Blanquirroja.

Peru's national team!

-Returns to the World Cup after 36 years.
-Unbeaten in 14 matches.
-(Coach) Gareca, a hero that makes everybody dream.

The video brings back memories of Peru's maiden appearance at Mexico 1970. Likewise, it features the national team's legends Teofilo Cubillas and Hugo Sotil.

The Incas' first game will be played against Denmark (June 16). Then, they will clash with France (June 21) before facing Australia (June 26).
