There is almost a month left for the Peruvian national team to face Uruguay for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. However, the match has already begun to be played and it is that the 'charruas' have decided to increase ticket prices.
According to a claim by the various groups of fans of the 'white-roja', tickets would be $300. That is, almost ten times the value of the last match of the 'celeste' against Venezuela at the Centenario stadium (37 dollars). With this, they would seek that Ricardo Gareca's team does not receive the support of its people.
“If that were the case, I am ashamed, there are many Peruvians residing in Uruguay, those people are excited to meet their team, but I don't think everyone has to pay $300 to watch a game. The National Team has been made for a select audience”, was what Uruguayan coach Gustavo Ferrín declared.

FERRIN ON PERU VS. Uruguay
Peru will face Uruguay in their penultimate match of these South American qualifiers. This commitment will mean a lot in the future of both teams. Since there is only one point of difference between the two and whoever wins will gain an advantage.
The 'bicolor' is in the repechage zone with 21 points after the 1-1 draw with Ecuador at the Nacional, while the 'celeste' thrashed Venezuela and placed in the fourth place.
“It will be a very tense match, important things are played, both have achieved a good rebound and the World Cup qualification puts the highest expectations on both teams, we as a local put pressure on us and gives us a certain advantage, but this kind of matches will be very dynamic and intense, it will be a very exciting match” , he said.
He also referred to the changes following Diego Alonso's incorporation into the Uruguayan national team. “Whenever there is a change, there is turbulence in the group that are the ones who were mostly with 'Maestro' Tabárez. A coach who enters always has his preferences, I don't think it's such a resounding change, at least in the quality of players, since those who are as competitive as those who arrived”.
