Two years on from their first appearance at a FIFA U-17 World Cup, 2005 host nation Peru are beginning to bear the fruits of an organised and ambitious approach to youth football. While the Incaico outfit were unable to make it past the group stages on home soil, the experience gained has helped propel Peru to their second appearance at the elite competition, after their first successful qualifying campaign.

Coached by Juan Jose Ore, the team nicknamed Los Jotitas (The Small Js) whipped up a storm with their performances at March's South American U-17 Championship in Ecuador. So much so that after an impressive campaign which included victory over the mighty Brazil, among others, the young Peruvians returned home to find the streets filled with thousands of fans waiting to salute their new idols.

In the wake of all this euphoria, J.J. Ore's gifted charges must now turn their thoughts to the challenge awaiting them at Korea 2007. Inspired by the impudent genius of forward Reimond Manco, Peru will be looking to spring a surprise and improve on their 2005 performance, where they failed to make the second phase. Impishly skilful, full of pace and with everything to play for, Ore's boys appear well placed to do just that.

Qualification
Peru sealed their place in Korea after claiming fourth place at the Sudamericano tournament in Ecuador. In common with many teams at this age level, Peru's campaign was a model of inconsistency. After a stellar opening phase, which saw the Jotitas top Group A ahead of Brazil, J.J. Ore's team were eventually forced to wait until the very last game of the six-team final round before cementing qualification.

Manco and his team-mates got off to the best possible start, their unhindered and free-flowing style taking them to a 2-1 opening-game victory over eventual winners Brazil. An emphatic 4-1 success over Bolivia, followed by a 0-0 draw with hosts Ecuador, sent Peru safely through the next round despite a 3-1 reverse at the hands of Chile in their final Group A clash. The decisive final phase would not go quite so smoothly, however, with Ore's side edging past Venezuela (2-1) before receiving a 4-1 humbling at the hands a rejuvenated Seleção. The Jotitas were then taken apart 3-0 by a stylish Colombian outfit, before rallying to end the competition with draws against Ecuador (2-2) and Argentina (1-1), just enough to claim fourth spot.

In total, Peru played nine games in Ecuador, coming away with three wins, three draws and three defeats. Despite recording a slightly negative balance of 12 goals scored and 16 conceded, fans of Incaico football can take heart from Manco's well-deserved award for the tournament's best player.

Coach
In spite of only taking up the reins on 29 January 2007, Juan Jose Ore managed something no other Peruvian national team coach has achieved in 29 years. Peru had not qualified for a FIFA tournament on sporting merit since the 1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina, a barren spell brought to an end by a man still known for his goalscoring exploits in a Universitario shirt back in the 1970s. Married with two children, Ore took over the U-17s from Argentinean coach Jose Luis Pavoni and immediately set about trying to ensure the future growth of Peruvian football, starting with the national youth sides. Following the team's success in Ecuador, the coach believes qualifying for Korea 2007 could be the start of a new era in Peruvian football: "I'm certain that Peru are on the way to regaining the status they held in South America in years gone by." His contract, which expired the very day the Jotitas earned their passage to Korea, was subsequently renewed on his return.

Star Player
If there is one player capable of taking Peru to even greater heights at this August's showpiece tournament, it is Reimond Manco. The young Alianza Lima forward top-scored for his team with three strikes, and received the award for best player on show at March's Sudamericano. Born on 23 August 1990 in Lima, Manco spent eight years of his life in Venezuela, even going on to represent the Vinotinto at an U-15 tournament. However, the fleet-footed attacker considers himself to be "100 per cent Peruvian, like my entire family". Skilful, full of tricks and a cool finisher, many observers feel it is only a matter of time before Manco makes one of Europe's top leagues his home.

Record

* Korea 2007 will be Peru's second-ever appearance at a FIFA U-17 World Cup.
* Peru hosted the 2005 edition of the prestigious tournament, although they failed to make it through the first phase.
* The event in Korea is only the second time Peru have appeared at a FIFA competition since the 1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina.

What they said...
"Qualifying for the [U-17] World Cup is a massive step forward for Peruvian football. I'm proud to be coaching these lads, who have put in so much hard work throughout the whole process. Now it's time to head to Korea and finish the job," Juan Jose Ore, Peru U-17 coach.

Group A Preview:

Group A: Korean hosts eye top spot

Group A of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2007 has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel to it, with host nation and group favourites Korea Republic flying the flag for Asia, Costa Rica and Peru doing their bit for Latin American pride, and gifted African outfit Togo completing an intriguing quartet. On paper, the Koreans appear to be slight favourites, particularly with their fans behind them. One thing is for certain, however; they will not have an easy time of it.

The teams
Costa Rica
Korea Republic
Peru
Togo

The fixtures (all times are local)
Costa Rica - Togo, Suwon, 18 August, 17:00
Korea Republic - Peru, Suwon, 18 August, 20:00
Togo - Peru, Suwon, 21 August, 17:00
Costa Rica - Korea Republic, Suwon, 21 August, 20:00
Korea Republic - Togo, Ulsan, 24 August, 20:00
Peru - Costa Rica, Jeju, 24 August, 20:00

How they qualified
Costa Rica: second place in Group B of CONCACAF qualifying, held in April 2007 in Jamaica.
Korea Republic: qualify automatically as hosts
Peru: fourth place at the South American U-17 Championship Ecuador 2007
Togo: runners-up at the CAF African U-17 Championship Togo 2007

The location
The four teams will be based in the capital of the Gyeonggi-do province, Suwon, which is about 30 km from the national capital Seoul. An industrial city, Suwon is probably best known for being one of Korea Republic's footballing hotbeds. Local side the Bluewings are Korea's most popular team, and their fans famed for their passionate and full-blooded support.

Hosting the games in Suwon will be the Suwon Sports Complex, built in 1971. This atmospheric ground holds 27,100 spectators and was home to the well-loved Bluewings until their recent move to the brand-new FIFA World Cup™ Stadium. The stadium is now used by Suwon FC, one of the top teams in the South Korean second tier.

The crunch match: Peru - Costa Rica, Jeju, 20:00
Assuming Korea Republic make the most of home advantage and win the group, second spot could well be decided by the outcome of this Latin American showdown. Peruvians take on Ticos on the island of Jeju, on the group's final matchday, and the result is sure to define both sides' future in the competition. The scene is therefore set for an engaging encounter between two teams that share many footballing traits: touch, pace and plenty of one-touch moves. All the evidence suggests that the fans on Jeju are in for a veritable festival of pinpoint passing and classy interplay.

The opening gambit
Park Kyung-hoon, Korea Republic coach: "We need to live out our dream and cement our place at the summit of Asian football. Our work with the youngsters needs to improve if we wish to repeat our past successes. That said, I'm very confident that we've got enough quality to reach the semi-finals."
