Peru vs Chile: A High-Stakes Friendly Clash in Sochi, November 2025
Today, on November 18, 2025, Sochi, Russia, will host a thrilling encounter between Peru and Chile in a friendly match set for the final FIFA date of the year. This friendly comes with added anticipation as both teams have something to prove—Peru seeking redemption and Chile aiming to continue their rebuilding process.
This marks the second meeting between the two South American sides in the span of just over a month. In October, Chile edged out Peru with a last-minute 2-1 victory in Santiago, thanks to an own goal from MatÃas Lazo. That heart-wrenching loss has now turned this match into one of revenge for the Peruvian squad, who are determined to close out 2025 with a win.

Peru’s national team has been undergoing a significant generational shift, with new players being integrated into the fold. Their most recent match against Russia in St. Petersburg ended in a surprising 1-1 draw, a result that gave the Peruvian side a sense of hope for the future. The team, under interim coach Manuel Barreto, continues to experiment with fresh talent, making this match against Chile a vital opportunity to assess their progress.
On the other hand, Chile has been focusing on a similar transformation. After a disastrous 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign that saw them finish at the bottom of their group, the Chilean Football Federation (ANFP) began the process of rebuilding. With Nicolás Córdova now at the helm, the Chilean team is focused on introducing promising young players and giving them international exposure. Their recent 2-0 win over Russia was a positive sign that the Chilean squad is moving in the right direction.
The match is set to kick off at 12:00 PM Peru time (1:00 PM in Venezuela, Bolivia, and the United States, 2:00 PM in Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil). Fans around the world can tune in to watch the action live. In Peru, the game will be broadcast on América Televisión and ATV, both in HD, while Movistar Deportes will provide coverage via cable and its Movistar Play app.
For the Peruvian squad, all eyes will be on Alex Valera, who has been in great form lately and is expected to lead the attack. A solid performance from the newly integrated players, including César Inga and Fabio Gruber, will be crucial for Peru to secure a positive result.
With both teams eager to finish the year on a high note, the stage is set for an exciting and competitive ‘Clásico del PacÃfico’ in Sochi. Whether Chile will continue their dominance or Peru will exact their revenge remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: this friendly will be a key moment in their respective rebuilding journeys.
