Peru's national team plays in red-and-white striped shirts, with a sash across the chest. The country has been to the FIFA World Cup five times. The men's team's biggest stars are mostly forwards - quick, clever players who slip past defenders with little flicks of the foot.
Football is everywhere in Peruvian cities. In Lima, the capital, you can find pitches on rooftops, in the gaps between flats, and on sandy patches by the ocean. Kids will use anything for goalposts - shoes, t-shirts, water bottles, even backpacks - and play until it gets too dark to see the ball.
Children in the Andes mountains play football very high up - sometimes at 3,500 metres above the sea. The air is thinner up there, so the ball goes a bit further when you kick it, but you also get tired faster. Visiting teams from lower altitudes often struggle to play in the highlands.
Peru's most famous club teams are Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima. When they play each other, it is called 'el clasico', and the whole country watches. Children pick a side at home from very young, and the kit they wear at the park usually says everything about which team they support.
