12:39 | Moscow (Russia), Jun. 10.

Peruvian national soccer delegation arrived at Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow on Sunday ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup taking place on June 14–July 15.


Wearing elegant suits, the red white team left the Russian airport facilities at 8:38 PM (local time) and headed for a nearby hotel.


Previously, the Inca squad drew 0-0 against Sweden in its last preparatory game at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg on Saturday.

As expected, it was quite an intense match for Ricardo Gareca's men, but they managed to measure up.

With that clash, the South Americans have played five friendly matches before their debut in the biggest sporting event on the globe. They have beat Croatia (2-0), Iceland (3-1), Scotland (2-0), and Saudi Arabia (3-0).

It must be noted the Incas currently have an unbeaten streak of 15 games. Thus, they retain the 11th position in the FIFA ranking.

Among the top Inca stars, strikers Paolo Guerrero (Flamengo FC) and Jefferson Farfan (FC Lokomotiv) stand out.

While in Russia, the squad is scheduled to hold five training sessions with the purpose of giving a great performance at soccer's mega event.



The national team is placed in Group C, along with France, Denmark, and Australia.
