National Soccer Stadium of Nicaragua
The National Soccer Stadium of Nicaragua is located in the city of Managua, being the main soccer stadium in the country. It was inaugurated on April 14, 2011 and has a capacity to accommodate 15,000 spectators, where the Nicaraguan Football Federation was the project manager.
Responding to criticism
After what was shown by the fans of the El Salvador national soccer team, the Nicaraguan national team did not stand idly by and have begun to heat up the match.
Through a video shared on their social networks, the team called on their fans to fill the stadium. "The National Stadium is respected," they wrote on their official Twitter account.
They did not want the match
At the time, a large sector of La Selecta fans did not take the news about Nicaragua as their rival in the best way, so in social networks they expressed their position and there were those who said that El Salvador should beat the Nicaraguans, belittling the value of their rivals and what they can offer on the field.
They face problems
The Nicaragua National Team traveled to Tehran, Iran, where they played a friendly match and ended up losing 0-1 under the technical direction of Marco Antonio Figueroa 'El Fantasma'.
However, the biggest problem was the return to Central America, according to the report of the Nicaraguan Football Federation, "the delegation suffered the cancellation of the air flight that would take them to Nicaraguan soil", so only a group of 8 people, including players and coaching staff, were able to travel without problems.
Nicaragua's Preparation
From October 31 to date, the Nicaragua National Team began its microcycle with a total of 25 local players. Coach Marco Antonio Figueroa revealed his list of 20 players to face the friendlies.
The list highlights the presence of two players, Jeffrey Chavez of Municipal Liberia of Costa Rica and Bryan Lopez of Sporting FC of the Costa Rican league.
Punishment
The Disciplinary Commission of the Salvadoran Soccer Federation revealed sanctions against 12 players of La Selecta for acts of indiscipline in the match against Peru, one of those singled out is Alexander Larín:
"Sanction with suspension as a national team for a period of 30 days and a fine of 10% of their salary or benefit as a selected player to the players: Alexander Vidal Larín Hernández, Nelson Wilfredo Bonilla Sánchez, Joaquín Antonio Rivas, Enrico Eric Duelas and Nelson Wilfredo Flores according to article 4 literal d) and for the infraction of article 7 literal h) and m) of the National Team Regime".
