YOUR WORDS:
What are your expectations for the three matches of the September FIFA Date?

How’s the box office issue for the game against the United States?
“It’s sold out. We ask the fans to come and buy their tickets, they’re running out. It’s already sold at over 60%, there are few tickets left, so we ask everyone to “We are approaching the stadium for the match against the United States.”
How is the group before the start of the Qualifier?
“There is a great group, a work that comes from two years of process, there is a great understanding with the group of players with the coaching staff, it is with the commitment to bring Honduras to Qatar, they are giving 100% and note in the work that is there. They have a lot of confidence in each other and in that aspect we are fine. “
Jorge Salomó sent a clear message to the Honduran fans regarding the homophobic cries, asking him to be respectful of rivals when they visit the Olympic Stadium.
“We ask the fans to avoid these homophobic chants, I think we have enough things to shout in favor of the team without resorting to this. We do not bother insulting the rival to be able to support Honduras and avoid being punished.”
In October there are two home games in the Playoffs How are you already handling the issue of the box office?
“I think for these two games there would be promotions and discounts. After we get out of these two games we will have structured this and reminded the fans to come and buy their box office in time.”
How much is the selection spending on the September FIFA Date and how much do you plan to raise against the United States?
“If the total box office is sold it more or less walks in 9 million lempiras and the expenditure of these matches (Canada-El Salvador) will walk on top of that, but well, everything is done and when this phase is over we will give a press conference settling the income and expenses of this event. It is costing us a lot of money these three matches, but the most important thing is to be in the World Cup “.
As for the results of the PCR tests performed on the Honduran national team players before the match against Canada, he assured that they all came out negative.
“Yes, we already have all the results, all negative world. All is well, this issue has been handled well in this first stage in Canada. So we have no problem for the match.”
The itinerary of the selection after the duel in Canada
“The team travels early on Friday from Toronto to Washington and then to El Salvador after noon. Honduras will be in that country on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After the game we traveled to catracho type 10 at night at San Pedro Sula Airport “.
How will the current curfew for the match against the United States be handled?
“We are talking to the Sinager authorities and this day (September 8) the curfew will be suspended so that people can move home without any problems. We will have this flexibility for this match and that people can move home in a calm way “.
How was the drone issue taken?
“Unfortunately we have had these attitudes on the part of Canada, we from the beginning of June asked for the health notes to do the visa procedure and they sent them five days before, this complicated the visa issue for us. I think the Canadian federation has not behaved up to par, when they go to Honduras we will do all things right and football is won on the court.this drone is also a disrespect to the professional work that the team does. if they got information, I don’t know, but it’s a lack of respect. We in Honduras will respect all the teams that come. “
FUTURE OF COIT
Jorge Salomó confirmed in the closing of the press conference this Thursday that Fabián Coit will be the coach of Honduras until the end of the tie.
“We hired him for the whole elimination process, so we are with him until the end. The truth is that we have great confidence in the work he has done. Have peace of mind, peace, we have a great team that delivered everything, ”he closed.
