The Peruvian Under-23 Team has not stopped working. Despite the holiday, José Guillermo del Solar’s team did not stop training and will continue like this, according to the schedule of activities published on the bicolor team’s social networks. Of course, they have a friendly in sight, with which they hope to continue adding minutes of competition, before traveling to Venezuela, where the Pre-Olympic will take place, which will begin on January 20 and end on February 11.
According to the itinerary set for this week, physical work will continue from 10 am at the National Sports Village. The objective is to strengthen the idea of the game that ‘Chemo’ has, especially in the players who joined from last Tuesday, such as Diego Romero (Universitario de Deportes), Adrián Ascues and Rafael Lutiger (Sporting Cristal), who received the approval of their clubs to join training.
For Saturday, January 6, a friendly has been agreed once morest the Alianza Lima team at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, a duel that will serve as a thermometer to measure the level that the team manages and that will allow us to reinforce the points that require greater attention. Precisely, Erik Noriega, national team and defender in San Martín, referred to how the team is coming for the South American competition.
“We know that we are representing the national team. We want to go to Venezuela and do a good job, qualify for the Olympic Games and leave Peru at the top. We trained on January 25 and 1, something that is not done much, but we know it helps,” he said in dialogue with the press, during training this morning.

Likewise, he added that “the work being done is quite good, they are preparing us well. “We are going to compete as equals.” One of the details that was recently announced is the trip that Jorge Fossati will make to watch the U-23 matches in the pre-Olympic, a fact that is undoubtedly on the minds of each of the players.
“We know that he is the new coach of the national team and it is a great motivation for everyone who goes to see us. He is a fairly young group we are in, so he will motivate us a lot. It is also very important that players with League 1 experience arrive; “It will help us a lot,” he concluded.
How do the rivals from Group B arrive?
The work of the different rivals that will compete with Peru in Group B continues, following a brief break for the end of the year holidays. In the case of ‘La Roja’, Nicolás Córdova, coach of the U-23 team, stated days before that “they are working with great enthusiasm. The players have made themselves fully available and we hope to arrive with things very clear for the first game.”
Argentina, which will arrive under the technical direction of Javier Mascherano, resumed its activities at the Lionel Andrés Messi facility. That day they performed some exercises with and without the ball led by Professor Pablo Blanco, followed by different tactical movements and later work in a small space. Of course, that same day they also announced the preliminary list of those summoned to the Pre-Olympic.

For its part, the Paraguay team started the year with a previous talk led by Carlos Jara Saguier, and then began the warm-up guided by physiotherapist Walter Montes de Oca. The physical trainer of the albirrojo team, José Núñez, organized a circuit of strength exercises and regenerative work, following the break for the festive date. This Wednesday they will also continue working.
Finally, the Uruguay team has friendlies on the agenda for the next few days, in order to arrive ready for the pre-Olympic tournament (don’t forget that they will seek the feat, just as the U-20 did in the World Cup of the category, where they won the Cup). Marcelo Bielsa was attentive to every job done by the players and they will continue to prepare, before the practice duels once morest Paraguay (January 13) and Banfield (January 16), at the Maldonado facility.
What are the venues for the U-23 Olympic Qualifiers and what is the format like?
A couple of months ago, the venues for the 2024 U-23 Olympic Qualifiers were defined, which will take place in Venezuelan territory: Caracas, Valencia and Barquisimeto were the cities chosen by CONMEBOL. Thus, the venues that will host the group stage matches will be the Polideportivo Misael Delgado and Olympic National Brígido Iriarte stadium; while the Lara Metropolitan Football Stadium will host the final home run duels.
Regarding the format of the championship, it will start with the group stage with ten teams divided into two groups of five each. The matches will be played by points, in the round-robin system, in a single round of matches. Likewise, the teams that occupy the first two positions in each bracket will qualify for the Final Phase.
