 The 1930s is considered to be the first golden era of Peruvian football.At the inaugural 1930 FIFA World Cup, the Peruvian team failed to progress beyond the group stages; despite this performance, the Uruguayan audience was surprised by the level of skill demonstrated by the Peruvians.Between 1933 and 1934, the national squad (composed mainly of players from Universitario de Deportes, Alianza Lima, and Atlético Chalaco) united with the Chilean squad (formed mainly by players from Colo-Colo) to form the "Combinado del Pacifico" (known by the European press as the "Peru-Chile XI" and "All-Pacific", among other names), which toured the European countries of England, Germany, France, and Spain until August 1935.
