Efforts to further improve the standing of football in the US were given a real boost by the arrival of Lionel Messi to the MLS, and whenever the national team are invited to the Copa America, this also helps to boost exposure of the game. The interest in United States vs Peru tickets will be high, as will any matches that The Stars and Stripes face; such is the allure of the iconic tournament.
The competition was born in 1916, fourteen years before FIFA got around to starting the World Cup and decades before UEFA got around to getting the European Championship off the ground, and over the course of the past century and more, the event has become a real footballing bonanza, attracting interest worldwide and not just from within the confines of South America.
Four teams fought it out for the title in the early editions of the tournament, but that had risen to 10 by 1975, and at the 2016 centenary celebration, no fewer than 16 nations took part, and the ambiance and spectacle that is on show helps to drive supporters to take their seats in the stadiums, as does the very high quality of football that takes place.

USA vs Peru Copa America Tournament Record
The United States have twice reached the Semi-Finals in the Copa America, which is a pretty strong record considering they have not competed in that many tournaments.
Their first run ended at the group stage in 1993, but just two years later, they battled all the way to the Semi-Finals, where their fine run was ended by AS Roma defender Aldair, who scored the winner for Brazil.
At the 2016 event, hosted in the United States, they once again got to the last four, this time under the guidance of former Tottenham legend and World Cup winner Jurgen Klinsmann, where they were easily beaten by Argentina.
Peru’s first Copa America came in 1927 when they hosted the tournament. The second time they hosted, in 1939, saw La Blanquirroja win the event. It would take another 36 years for them to do so again.
That second title was in 1975 and saw them beat Colombia 1-0 in the final play-off in Caracas, Venezuela. In both 2011 and 2015, they finished in third place, having lost in the Semi-Finals to Uruguay and Chile, respectively.
In 2019, under Ricardo Gareca, a team including the likes of Jefferson Farfan and Paolo Guerrero reached the final of the tournament.
Peru faced Brazil in that Copa America Final, which saw goals from Everton, Gabriel Jesus, and Richarlison see Tite’s side to a 3-1 victory in Rio.
USA vs Peru Head-to-Head
The United States and Peru have never previously crossed paths in the Copa America, adding a certain spice to this upcoming clash.
As of now, perhaps the most competitive match the two sides have played came in the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup, with both teams placed in the same group. It took a solitary goal from Cobi Jones to give the US a 1-0 win in Miami on that occasion.
