The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Peru on Thursday complimented the Inca soccer team on their victory against New Zealand, which means Peruvians managed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
"Congratulations, Peru! Congratulations, Peruvian squad! Welcome to
Russia 2018 [...]," the Russian diplomatic delegation posted on Twitter.
It must be noted this is not the first time Russia's Embassy congratulates the team's performance.
Russian Ambassador to Peru Andrei Guskov also praised the team's technical staff for such qualification.
"After so many years, Peru will return to a World Cup event," the diplomat told RPP radio and TV station.
"The squad proved they deserved to be ranked among FIFA's top 10 teams. They gave an incredible performance last night, and we all share the joy and happiness," he concluded.
