By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Verdes will open its participation in the Scotiabank Concacaf League at the FFB Field in Belmopan on Thursday, August 5, against Santos de Guápiles from Costa Rica.
That, however, is dependent on government allowing contact sports to be played competitively by then. Minister of Sports Kevin Bernard said earlier that government plans to allow contact sports to be played competitively by August 1 but that will depend on the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The return leg will be in Costa Rica on Wednesday, August 18. Santos plays at the Ebal Rodríguez Stadium in Guápiles but have not confirmed if the game will be played there or at some other venue in Costa Rica.
Verdes started their training on Tuesday when they also announced the return of Mexican midfielder Edwin Villeda Bernal.
Concacaf said the matches will be available on TV partner networks, including TUDN (USA-Spanish), Fox Sports (USA-English) Fox Sports (Mexico), ESPN (Central America), Flow Sports (Caribbean), and other local partners.
Concacaf also said the matches will also be available on the Concacaf Official App (subject to territory restrictions). The free mobile app is available in the Apple and Google Play stores.
