Peru vs Puerto Rico: The ‘Inca’ team will face the ‘Caribbean’ squad today, Friday, September 22, in the city of Tokyo for matchday 6 of the Pre-Olympic Tournament heading to Paris 2024. Those led by coach Francisco Hervás will go looking for their first win after losing to Japan, Brazil, Turkey, Belgium and Bulgaria. His opponent will not make it easy for him, since he will also be forced to win in order to be among the top places in the table and fight for a place in the next Olympic event.

How do both teams arrive?

So far, Peru has not had a good performance so far in the Pre-Olympic. In their debut, they lost 3-0 to Japan by sets of 25-9, 25-19 and 25-15. On the second day, they had to face the always complicated Brazil and, despite their attempts, they registered a new defeat.

With two bad results, the national team was left with no chance of qualifying for the next stage of the competition and also of getting a place in the next Olympic event. Despite this, those led by Francisco Hervás managed to come out with a different face against Turkey, current number one in the world ranking, winning a partial (3-1).

Against Belgium, the ‘bicolor’ returned to its reality. After having played a high-voltage match against the Turks, the Peruvian team was widely surpassed by the European team and could do little to avoid its fourth fall in the competition. History repeated itself against Bulgaria. In that match he could not even reach 20 points in the different sets.

For its part, Puerto Rico did not start the tournament in the best way, as it lost to Turkey 3-0. However, they achieved their first victory by beating Belgium 3-1. In their third and fourth appearances, they were defeated by Japan and Brazil, respectively. Finally, on Thursday, September 21, they gave the surprise by beating Argentina.

How the Pre-Olympic has been played

The Pre-Olympic Tournament has three groups of eight teams each. Each country has to play a total of seven matches, but only the best two will have the opportunity to qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The remaining five places, considering that France has already qualified, will be defined by world ranking.

These will be for the best five unclassified teams after the preliminary stage of the Nations League, which begins in May 2024. It is important to mention that the selection of a continent that does not have a classified country has priority.

What time does Peru vs Puerto Rico play for the Pre-Olympic?

The Peruvian team will return to action this Friday, September 22 against Puerto Rico, 22nd in the world ranking. The clash between both squads will take place at the Sky Hall Toyota facilities in Tokyo, Japan, from 8:00 p.m. (Peru). While, in the Caribbean country, the meeting is scheduled to start at 9:00 p.m.
