July 15, 2021 GMT
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) The head of El Salvador’s soccer federation said Wednesday he will ask CONCACAF to allow his country to play its Sept. 2 World Cup qualifier against the U.S. team in the United States.
The match has been scheduled to be played in El Salvador, but the country’s congress voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to impose a 90-day ban on sporting events, concerts, festivals and other mass gatherings because of a surge in coronavirus cases.
“If it can’t be played in our country because of COVID. We could change our matches to the United States,” Hugo Carrillo, head of the country’s soccer federation, told journalists.
