Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra on Wednesday wished national soccer team members a safe journey, as he met with them at Lima-based National Sports Village (Videna) where they held their last training session before heading for Europe.
Via Twitter, the
Head of State shared images of his meeting with the 23-man squad and technical staff.
He went on to add the hearts of more than 32 million Peruvians are with the team.
The game marked the Inca squad's farewell to its country before heading for Europe for its last two friendlies. Within this framework, it will face Saudi Arabia in Switzerland (June 3) and host-team Sweden (June 9).
