While the host city is set, the specific stadium in Río de Janeiro remains unannounced by organizers, leaving venues such as the Maracanã, Nilton Santos, and São Januário as potential hosts.

November Warm-Up Matches in Chincha Against Dominican Republic
Before traveling to Brazil, the squad managed by Antonio Spinelli will play two preparation matches against the Dominican Republic during the November FIFA international window. Both games will take place at the Videnita training complex in Chincha. The team is preparing to face República Dominicana in Chincha and Alemania to strengthen its tactical proposal and gather international experience.
The first fixture kicks off on Friday, November 27, at 11:00 a.m., followed two days later by the second encounter on Sunday, November 29, at 3:00 p.m. local time. These fixtures give Spinelli an opportunity to evaluate players from domestic clubs like Universitario de Deportes, Alianza Lima, and FBC Melgar, alongside international standouts, following their recent October friendlies against Filipinas.
Antonio Spinelli on Facing World-Class Opposition
Head coach Antonio Spinelli said testing his squad against top-tier international opponents is essential to his long-term project. The coach noted that this final window is the longest of the year and allows teams to schedule up to three matches.
We are going to play against Germany, it is a dream match. It will be played in Río de Janeiro, it is something historic,
Antonio Spinelli said. We have never played against European teams, let alone world champions like Germany.
Reflecting on the broader trajectory of the program, Spinelli described the period as a spectacular finish to an important year for the development of women’s football in Peru. The manager noted that the December fixture serves as a benchmark for the team’s development against a squad possessing two World Cups and an Olympic gold medal.
Facing them helps you define where we stand,
Antonio Spinelli said. Beyond the difficulty of the rival, it is about looking toward where we want to go and how much we still lack.
Facing such a high-caliber opponent will allow the coach to evaluate the current level of the squad and identify the specific areas that require further improvement.
