Cuba and Nicaragua agree on friendly soccer game

Cuba and Nicaragua will play a friendly game as part of the FIFA week in late March, Miguel Angel Diaz, secretary of the Cuban Soccer Association (AFC), said.

In statements to the digital site Jit, the executive explained, “We have worked for the organization of the match, but more than that we want that the selected teams have several days to train together under the orders of the technical director, so that they can take advantage of the FIFA week.”

The game is scheduled for March 26 in Nicaragua.

“The objective is to reincorporate players who once played in the senior team into the process guided by (coach) Yunielys Castillo,” Díaz stressed.

We will try to take advantage of the stay in Nicaragua to carry out a micro-cycle of training, doing comprehensive work on our game model, Castillo said, before warning that “we will consolidate the defensive and offensive principles through games.”
