Honduras begins 2023 with an unexpected setback in preparation for the first FIFA date of the year for the League of Nations.
Although the Bicolor made its commitment to the El Salvador team official this Thursday for a friendly in March, the plans were different.
How would the six Concacaf teams qualify for the 2024 Copa América?
Fenafuth announced the week before that, prior to the decisive game against Canada (March 28) for a place in the Final Four of the Nations League, they had agreed to an exhibition duel of good fire against a South American team.
The squad in question was Peru, a team that was left out of the World Cup in Qatar in the intercontinental playoffs, and one of the teams with a good moment in CONMEBOL football.
What happened was that La Franja had the opportunity to have a better start against the four-time world champion, the powerful Germany, so they preferred to change their duel against Honduras, the last seed in the last CONCACAF qualifiers.

Therefore, Honduras will face El Salvador next Wednesday, March 22 in the city of Los Angeles, United States, with venue pending confirmation.
For the duel against El Salvador and Canada, Diego Vázquez will be able to opt for all the legionnaires for these two games since it is a FIFA date, in addition. It should be remembered that the Selection will have two microcycles with national players. These will be on February 6 and 8 in Siguatepeque and from 20 to 22 in Tegucigalpa.
The venue for the match against the Canadians will be Toronto, BMO Field. The Bicolor would leave the United States for Canada between March 25 or 26, after their friendly in Los Angeles.
