Canada – Peru men’s international friendly kick off moved to 17.30

The Canadian Soccer Association announced today that the kick off time for the Saturday 4 September Canada-Peru men’s international friendly has been changed to 17.30 ET from 19.30 ET. Tickets for the match went on sale to the public today at 10.00 ET through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster.ca

or 416.872.5000). Tickets for the Canada-Peru match, presented by Sony, start at $26 each.



The match will mark Canada’s return to international action following the completion of this summer’s 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. Canada has already faced two South American opponents in 2010 falling to FIFA World Cup™ quarter-finalists Argentina and drawing with Venezuela in May.



This will be the first visit for Peru to Canada and the second time that the two countries have met in international competition. The two sides first and only meeting came on 26 March 1988 in Lima Peru. Canada won that match 3:1 in front of 45,000 fans on goals from Lyndon Hooper, Nick De Santis and John Catliff.
