“As with the past few years we are hosting the U-23 Female Central American Championship. This is right next to the seniors, so we will have a lot of the big guns coming and a lot of the big guns we will have on our own. We have our own big guns. Five teams coming, but Nicaragua and Costa Rica says they cant make ti this time. So, in the case of Costa Rica, not a surprise we felt like they may not want to come again. But nevertheless, the other five countries will be here to battle. The teams arrive July eighteen and they depart on the twenty-fifth. That is a Friday to a Friday. The tournament will being on the twentieth, the Sunday the twentieth and it runs through Thursday. Two matches per day and you will see the information popping out because we are one month away. So that is what will happen.”
