quote:

Debido a que el reglamento de Concacaf exige a los equipos que compiten en la Liga de Campeones jugar a las ocho de la noche, el Real Estelí deberá jugar su partido de local en el Estadio de Comayagua, Honduras el próximo tres de septiembre.

Esto lo confirmó el presidente de la Junta Directiva del Club, Fidel Moreno, durante la entrega de la réplica del trofeo de campeones al patrocinador más fuerte del club, Enitel.

Según Moreno, el estadio de Comayagua (a dos horas de Tegucigalpa) presta todas las condiciones para realizare el partido y el martes de la próxima semana será evaluado por la comisión de Concacaf para darle el visto bueno.

Uno de los principales problemas para el Estelí fue encontrar un estadio que primero tuvieron iluminación y en nuestro país además de los de béisbol no hay otras instalaciones que presten las condiciones.

Se trató de mejorar el Estadio Olímpico del IND, en Managua, ya que tiene cuatro torres de luminarias que podrían ser suficientes, pero se necesitaba mayor inversión en los camerinos y sobre todo en el terreno de juego que es uno de los más malos de los estadios con “grama”.

Moreno explicó que la Alcaldía de Comayagua, así como las autoridades hondureñas les han dado todo el apoyo y en los próximos días firmarán un convenio de colaboración para dejar “amarrado” el partido, luego que le dan el OK de parte de Concacaf.

Well, if you can't get things worked out, at least you can relax in Nicaragua.

Comayagua is one nice place in Honduras, nice piney hills. Great hiking to the northwest.

any hotel recommendations.. just rebooked tickets.. from Syracuse.. to Mia then to SAP .. and drive to Comayauga.. 475 air plus 90 for car for three days.. 01 to 04, not a bad price to adventure ratio... now if my Supra jersey fits...

Who else is going ?

No, I stayed in a dive as I was ultralowbudget travelling.

The best way to get good suggestions is register and post on the Thorntree of the Lonely Planet site, under Central America - Honduras, ans ask about a good hotel there. You will receive some quick and good suggestions.

Chuckles a dive ? I suspect your dive is just fine for me ... did it have hooks for a hammock ?

I dunno, going to a game in Nicaragua is something I'd be apprehensive about. Politically, the country is still very unstable, the US are still funding their contras down there last time I checked, trying to overthrow the socialist government, and in general it's very, very poor. From what I've heard though it's not like Colombia and some of those other countries where you have to worry about being stabbed over a football match, so that's a positive. ;)

ROFL!! Has your head been stuck in the ground since the 80s? The contras are not there anymore. And IF they are, they are very very very small and unimportant. Proly a group of like 10 guys who have been living in the jungle because they never got the memo.

The games in Honduras.. so very different they only shot and killed ten people on the weekend in a land invasion. Since a pitch invasion is not envisioned it should be good to go..

You really should get out more.... maybe a trip to Detroit might help expand your travel horizons.

"Contras" are they the ones who want the CSA out ?
