The history of the Peru national football team dates back to the late 19th century, when English sailors and Peruvian travelers returning from England introduced the sport into Peru. It would take the early 20th century, in the year 1927, for Peru to finally create their first official national football team. ==Introduction of football in Peru== Football was brought to Peru by English sailors in the late 19th century during their frequent visits to Callao, which was then an important port of the Pacific Ocean.〔Roel, p. 124〕 During their free time, the English sailors played football and invited the local ''Chalacos'' (people from Callao) to participate. Allegedly, it was during these early games that the creation of the popular move known as the ''chalaca'' (short for "Chalacan Strike"), or bicycle kick, took place. By the 1890s, British sporting clubs in the Peruvian capital such as Lima Cricket and Lawn Tennis were already playing football.〔Goldblatt, p. 135〕 Football in Peru grew thanks to its practice by British residents and by Peruvians returning from England. The growing sports rivalry between foreign visitors and local Chalacos soon gained the attention of Peruvians outside the port.〔 Football was originally played outside of formal organizations, such as sport clubs or leagues, but the early 20th century saw the birth of clubs which continued the sport's practice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peru-Foundation Dates of Clubs )〕 Among these early clubs of the amateur era were the English community's Lima Cricket and Football Club (Lima, 1859),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lima Cricket & Football Club )〕 later followed by the Peruvian Ciclista Lima Association (Lima, 1896),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peru-Foundation Dates of Clubs )〕 and Atlético Chalaco (Callao, 1899).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Club Atlético Chalaco )〕 In the 1900s (decade), the construction of the Panama Canal limited the flow of foreign sailors and travelers into Callao, minimizing the port's influence as a center of cultural diffusion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Panama Canal )〕 By then, football clubs and leagues had sprouted in other Peruvian cities, including Lima, Cusco, and Arequipa.〔 〕 Some of the new clubs founded at this time were Alianza Lima (Lima, 1901), Cienciano (Cusco, 1901), FBC Melgar (Arequipa, 1915), the Italian community's Circolo Sportivo Italiano (Lima, 1917), Atletico Grau (Piura, 1919), Alianza Atletico (Sullana, 1920), Universitario de Deportes (Lima, 1924), Sport Boys (Callao, 1927), and Coronel Bolognesi (Tacna, 1929).〔 Peru's most important amateur league, the capital province's "Peruvian Football League", housed the growing rivalry between Callao clubs and those from the nearby capital of Lima.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peru-List of Final Tables )〕 The lack of a centralized organization led to constant conflicts between the teams, and one such conflict resulted in the creation of the Peruvian Football Federation in 1922, along with a new Peruvian Football League tournament under the regulation of said organization in 1926. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of the Peru national football team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
