The crucial match awaits the Peruvian national team to qualify for the World Cup. On June 13, the South American squad will face Australia in Doha for a ticket to Qatar. Peruvian President Pedro Castillo announced that Monday will be declared a national day off. The warnings about the financial impact of this decision, estimated at around 1.5 billion new soles (about 380 million euros) for the country with a population of 33 million, did not stop the country's leader. The match will start at 21.00 local time.
