Perez and Panama are scheduled to host Jamaica on Friday, Sept. 6 at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City, Panama. The Panamanian National Team's second match, set for Tuesday, Sept. 10, will be in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, against the Honduran National Team. Perez is not expected to play in the Jamaica game due to a yellow card he picked up in a previous World Cup qualifier.

Fernandez will backstop Peru against Uruguay on Friday, Sept. 6 at Estadio Monumental de Lima in Lima, Peru. The Peruvian National Team's second match is against Venezuela at Estadio Polideportivo Cachamay in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
