 During the 1960s, Peru showed signs of improvement, winning the Bolivarian Games in Barranquilla and qualifying for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.However, these would be the only achievements of the decade, as Peru failed to place in the top four spots of the 1963 South American Championship, did not qualify for the Chile and England World Cups, and was unable to regain the "Copa del Pacífico".The story of the second golden generation started in late 1969, when "la Blanquirroja" qualified for the Mexico 1970 World Cup.
