On October 11, Juan Reynoso announced the official list of those called up for the matches against Chile and Argentina, for matchday 3 and 4 of the South American Qualifiers 2026. Although there were not many surprises at the local level, the ‘Chess Player’ surprised with the call of Oliver Sonne, who days ago was able to obtain his nationality and was ready to defend the colors of the national team. Thus, the Danish-Peruvian arrived in the capital to place himself under the orders of the national coach, with the aim of earning a place in the starting eleven. However, things did not go as the side planned. And despite being on the list against the ‘Roja’, he did not accumulate minutes, even being left out of the match against the ‘Albiceleste’.
Once the double date of the Qualifiers was over, all the ‘Bicolor’ players returned to their clubs. This is the case of Sonne, who went to the Jorge Chávez Airport this Wednesday afternoon to take a flight to Denmark. Of course, before leaving, he received the affection of the fans of the Inca team.
There were several fans of the Peruvian National Team who came to say goodbye to the Danish-Peruvian, who, despite only fluent in English, appreciated the affection during his stay in the country. Of course, when asked by the media, the defender preferred not to give details and responded punctually.
It should be noted that the footballer born in Karlslunde (Denmark) always highlighted the support he received from both the ‘Bicolor’ and the fans. In the midst of this panorama, and with the objective of adding points in a forced manner, many thought that she could have some minutes against the current world champion, but the reality is that she was not even on the substitute bench.
Peru’s agenda in Qualifiers
After the defeat against Argentina, the Peruvian National Team will play again next month when he visits Bolivia for date 5 of the 2026 South American Qualifiers. This match is scheduled for Thursday, November 16 from 3:00 pm, it will be played at the Hernando Siles stadium and will be broadcast throughout Peru on the signals of ATV, América TV and Movistar Sports.
After that, they will have a key duel – at the National Stadium in Lima – against a Venezuelan team that arrives in a great way due to its great start to the competition, in which they not only tied (as a visitor) with Brazil, but also thrashed to Chile, getting among the first places in the standings.
