Hey what is the signifigance of the match — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.67.198.198 (talk) 19:47, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was working on this article at some point, but was unable to finish it due to other projects. You can read more about it in the Peru national football team article (check the section on Olympic Record). The match is significant for several reasons:

Within the context of the "Nazi Olympics", it was a controversial sports decision that (regardless of whether or not it was right or wrong) favored a white-race European side over a mixed-race South American team. World War II and the racial policies of the Nazi regime made this event all the more significant in retrospect.
In Peruvian sports, it is part of a larger "legend" surrounding this "golden generation" of players (see Rodillo Negro) that would ultimately win the 1938 Bolivarian Games and the 1939 South American Championship (the first time a team other than Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay won it).
In Austrian sports, it is one of the last achievements of the Wunderteam—albeit sources disagree on whether or not it should be considered the Wunderteam (it depends on whether you consider the key piece of the team to be Hugo Meisl and Jimmy Hogan, the coaches, or the players). Most sources, including FIFA, consider that the Wunderteam was primarily the creation of Hogan (so, without Hogan, there would have been no Wunderteam).
In international football, it would be one of the first controversial decisions by FIFA and the Olympic Committee.

There's plenty of others, but I think that these are the main ones. I hope it helps.

Team colours

The colours shown as worn by Austria are incorrect: Salzburger Chronik 11 August 1936 "Kurz vor halb 6 Uhr betraten die Mannschaften - Österreich in schwarzen Hosen und blue-gelben Hemden, ihren Gegner in weisse Dress' mit roten Schulterstreifen - das Spielfeld" "Shortly before 6:30 the teams entered the field of play; Austria in blue and yellow shirts and black shorts, their opponents in a white kit with a red sash" Garswood Latic — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.220.125 (talk) 16:12, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
