The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) congratulated Peru's national team for securing the final place for next summer's World Cup with their victory over New Zealand in Lima.

Via Twitter, the world's football governing body noted Peru's party mode right now as they qualified for their first World Cup after more than three decades.

This will be the Incas' fifth appearance in the most-watched international soccer event that takes place every four years.
