After a great start to the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Guatemala, Panama U-20 is already preparing to face Haiti this Wednesday. The team, led by coach Jorge Dely Valdés, will return to the field to face the second day of the group stage of the CONCACAF U-20 Championship. In the morning, the national team completed its last training session before the match against Haiti.
The match will be played on Wednesday, July 24, at 6:00 pm at the Sergio León Chávez Stadium, the same venue where the first match was played.
Panama will look to continue the good play they displayed in their first match, in order to get the 3 points and place first in Group C. On the other hand, Belize will face this match needing to win, after having lost 4-0 to Mexico in the first match.
In the second hour of Group C, the national teams of Mexico and Guatemala will also be in action at the Sergio León Chávez stadium, to close the second date of the group stage of the Pre-World Cup, which they describe as scandalous.
