The El Salvador U-20 team met its rivals for the CONCACAF World Cup, which will take place from July 20 to August 4 in Guanajuato, Mexico, and will share a group with two World Cup teams that already have experience in the qualifying round.
The blue and white team was placed in group B of the qualifiers, along with Honduras, the Dominican Republic, and Canada. The first two selections; the H and the Dominican, already have material in the competition, at least, the previous generation had a recent participation.
In retrospect, both the Dominican Republic and Honduras got the ticket for the 2023 U-20 World Cup that was held in Argentina.
In group A are the United States, Costa Rica, Cuba and Jamaica and in C: Mexico, Panama, Guatemala and Haiti.
“We know that in this instance all the selections are on their own merits. We believe that it is a group that will be very competitive, very even, now it is time for these weeks; months, prepare ourselves in the best possible way, to arrive with good feelings, good performance at the individual level of the players and to be able to fight face to face for that place,” highlighted the coach, Juan Cortez.
According to the strategist, knowing that the first two in each group qualify, and also the best third parties, he said that they are convinced that the objective can be met, although it will not be easy, because it is never easy “to achieve a challenge like going to the World Cup” but they have hope and will work for it.
The team will face two friendly matches, one on Tuesday, April 23 against the Texas Select FC team and another with Pacific Regional.
